Thanks! Yes, I'm the head chef in my household. I tell my parents that times have changed and household chores based on gender are no longer...

With my snappier neonate boas, I've gotten into the habit of holding an index card or similar in front of their face with one hand and going in from...

Thank you! I'm way more confident with her than I was when I first joined here, and am at the point where I feel I can contribute more than just...

Perfect! :gj:

Your observations are correct- just remember that snakes do NOT identify us visually* (at least many snakes don't, & certainly not ball pythons) so...

Just wanted to update this. Our move went just fine. She was kept in a pillow case in a styrofoam box with holes in it, and a hot water bottle...

I'm late to this discussion, but wanted to add something I haven't read so far. With our BP, she handles well BUT recoils into her hide or...

Much better (& almost as easy as opening a can) to make vanilla buttercream frosting from scratch- & no "Franken-food" ingredients. Do you really...

Yeah, I couldn't imagine breeding dogs or cats...I would be relentlessly harassing the new owners to make sure they were doing a proper job...:) ...

That's what I hated about breeding snakes- parting with them after raising them up, & hoping they remained in good hands.

Yep! There are always a few things that I worry about when I get a new snake: 1. Does it have an infectious disease/condition? 2. Will it...

Me too.:D

Photo #429 Tiger eye from South Africa with a GHI/Het Yellowbelly or Gravel. I like the little hearts in the banding lol...:)

Without any predators, certain species can also reach fairly high population densities. Even if they don't care to snack on snake they will step on...

Here is an unboxing video of my new arrival today. Totally nailed the music score in the vid btw. ;)

I see my incoming snake is stuck in traffic outside Boston, MA. Since I am waiting anyway: I might as well go camp out at the FedEx hub until it...

After much consideration I bought a ball python online today. He has two genes: one is an incomplete dominant trait, and the other is a het...

She's looking great- & hey, "stuff happens" -because snakes are living creatures & don't live in a bubble. We do the best we can. ;)

She's very cute! And at least she has lots to explore & climb in & on in her current set-up. :gj:

Let's try this again. She did develop some minor scale rot that daily soaks and a shed solved, which I think my depressive slump over losing Inej...

Remembered to download tapatalk so heres a few pics from this year. Lan Fan just went down for brumation today, so now I'm on borrowed time to get...
