what should i do about lighting? now i leave the regular light on during the day, and switch to the blue night light when i get home from work,...

Something that might be worth trying before drilling more holes is to take out half (or more) of the bedding. spread it out on a metal baking sheet &...

Oh. I simply drilled holes from the inside outwards for the container I put him in when I do cleaning (that way the "shrapnel" only faces outwards)....

And Snagrio, this is how people put all those little ventilation holes in plastic totes they use to brumate their snakes in. ;) You can use it to...

That's what I use, too. And I snap off the strings of plastic that always happen, although I've seen people who don't worry about it.

Incorrect. The venue is a business that is supported by the vendors buying tables. That’s the extent of their business relationship. If you give...

I have the same setup for a ball python. I tried putting him in a large vision cage, he hated it and stopped eating for 2 months. I put him back in...

Pandora is looking lovely.

Very glad to hear it!

I took the boy to the vet last wednesday and the vet said he'd be fine. he won't need any antibiotics either. I fed him on friday and he's doing...

Easiest way to cut/modify & smooth edges /or put holes in plastic is with a cheap (about $10 or less) soldering iron, like this (just random...

I'd like to think I'm not terribly impulsive... It's not something I did on a whim, I've been carefully considering new hides for a while, I simply...

...So basically just don't go to a reptile convention is what you're telling me. Or at bare minimum, don't buy anything from one.

Very few do, they're more interested in ensuring all of the tables get rented.

4'x3.5'x1.5' high is a lot of volume to heat. You will need a large RHP to get it done and I would use two UTH's, one set at 90*F, the other at...

Just excited & eager to get going, but yeah, you need to be less impulsive, otherwise "when you decide in haste, you're likely to regret at leisure"....

Vote with your dollar and thoroughly vet the vendors in advance yourselves, folks. Don’t support those with unethical practices and educate others...

Will definitely have to make a mental note to check what reptile conventions actually vet their vendors, that's for sure.

I love waking up to a freshly-shed snake. Especially when that shed is perfect! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Yeah I know, another mistake... I don't know why I didn't bother to measure the dimensions of the hides to the tank width. But it's becoming obvious...

It's almost like I went out and got that Jungle anyway. But better! Third meal home went down the hatch last week. As soon as she's large enough...

Hides: um, good idea to check measurements before you order hides- R.B. gives you the dimensions, but they cannot force you to double-check what...

Resurrecting this thread since I've got several questions/rants that it'd be easier to just put them all in here. Firstly, I got new hides from...

First of all, thanks for the reply. When mention about the possibility of getting the snake a new owner, this was meant to help the suffering of the...

Based on your pictures I would say he's definitely getting ready to shed. My guy is typically done within a week, 6-8 days somewhere in that area....

Agreed, I don't know how you do anything with a room that cool. If 50* is what the temperature is, you can't move to a warmer room, and you can't...
