He wanted out, so we went fish watching. :cool:

Coiling like the beautiful iris petals...gorgeous, all! :love:

I think they're done mating...:( It's not unheard of for snakes of any kind to attack a mate, & since they're not "social" animals normally it's...

How deep are the wounds? Are they just small scratches or are they deep? Can you add pictures of them? Ball pythons don't need to be together for...

I'm so sorry to hear this is still going on. :( Maybe she has some sort of neurological problem- like a phantom pain, maybe from a 'birth defect'...

Is the 55g a top or front opening tank? I would not keep day/mourning geckos in something that size with a top-opening enclosure, I wouldn't keep...
