Photo #402 GHI/Fire with Rubellite (Pink/Red Tourmaline in Quartz/Feldspar Matrix). Rubellite is a difficult tumble due to the blast mining...

Photo #401 Pastel/Het Piebald with a piece of agate from the Mid-West, USA. Note: I was thinking about getting the snake shown in Photo #400...

The photo below marks the 400th ball python shown so far. Photo #400 The stones are Mexican Fossil Rock and Dyed Crackle Quartz. BP is a...

Great pic. She's a stunner.

Behira is having another growth spurt. She is now 3,830G dry. Got a good picture of her in her 6X2' Boaphile. She may not be the most colorful...

Good catch. I knew it was copy pasted from somewhere and is very similar to the text in both Complete Boa Constrictor books. Couldn’t recall exactly...

I’ve got a male from Michael Beach (Rio Bravo line) and a pair from Eric Shockley/Shox Boas (Vin produced his adults). The male from Michael could...

Just an interesting note: the text regarding Tarahumaras on this page: ...

There's a decent amount of variability in the color of my adults. Babies are relatively light and darken with age, and mine get really dark when in...

I'm trying to make sure -- since as mentioned they are distinct in behavior, etc -- that whatever I might buy is pure locale (and I suppose if any...

I love my tarahumaras. Some of my favorite boa species that I have. I'll cross reference this link with the original Complete Boa Constrictor when I...

I have some Tarahumaras. They're awesome little boas and from a keeping standpoint they're easier and more fun than ball pythons, and just a bit...

Photo #399 Thunderegg with a Spider/Het Piebald+?. Note: I have been seeing a pattern altering gene in my VPI Axanthic line floating around. ...

Yes, that's the official account. A couple things make me wonder. For one, that doesn't square with public import records, which don't show...

To the best of my knowledge, all Tarahumara boas in US herpetoculture descend from the original founders brought into the states of which that...

I raised mealworms for a long time before I switched over to strictly dubias. I can get a 50lb. bag of wheat bran from my local agricultural store...

Try the mild soap and water soaking method for an hour or so. Make it deep enough to fully submerge but shallow enough to let him get his head above...

After 14 years, you might not get an answer from the original posters. You might consider cross-pricing the wheat bran with oat bran (which is...

The research regarding Afoxolaner on reptiles isn't very compelling. Considering the small size of the quarantine tub, I think this situation lends...

Hi, I’m fairly new to raising mealworms and I’m wondering where you get your wheat bran at such low prices, as I am finding them extremely...

I have access to an accurate scale, so getting the dose right should be as simple as grinding up the tablet and doing it by mass. The treatment not...

The sort of dosing you mention (cutting 5% off a pill) is not a very safe practice for a hobby keeper. But the drug is Rx, so the vet may be able to...

If you decide to go the afoxolaner route, let your vet do it. Take your BP as well.
