She recently shed so I put her in her new enclosure. She’s eager for a meal. She hasn’t been able to eat without being partly on the ground in...

I've never kept B.c., but my Brazilian rainbows are rewarding though a bit of a handful. I really like their size; they're not a "large" snake, IMO,...

Photo #297 This was a tough batch of stones. Rhodonite and a piece of Chrysocolla-(likely). Rhodonite is soft and difficult to tumble/polish...

:gj: Moving & changing enclosures does sorta freak snakes out- they don't understand where the world they knew just disappeared to. But it's all...

Great advice! I’m going to be out of town for four days and super happy. I moved her to a better substrate and an acrylic enclosure. Less worries...

I'd get a BCI in a heartbeat- I had one, a rescue, for many years. She was a snuggler-supreme. When they're young, just remember they're scared...

Hey, life happens, y'know? Yes, I'd wait at least week or two before feeding- depending on how she's acting. Less frustration that way. ...

And you've had her for 11 years, right, & no contact with other snakes in all that time -including what could be transmitted from you & your...

The foam surrounding his warm side hide is repurposed packing material from my son's new laptop. The gap that once held my the laptop safe and...

Both nido and IBD arenavirus can be carried asymptomatically for years, so they cannot be ruled out. And at least for nidovirus, swabs don't always...

I believe they diagnosed her with stomatitis due to some inflammation inside her mouth. This was back in October of last year, 5 months ago. It...

Closing in on a kilo and still so bright and colorful :D She's so fun to handle now that she's really putting some size on

This is very unrelated but what morph is that? Shes absolutely stunning!

That doesn't sound like a good idea, for several reasons: they're fragile (likely to break & be a hazard to the snake) & clay also absorbs moisture...

When you mentioned she was diagnosed with stomatitis, all I remember you saying was that there was a little blood in her mouth. That's not enough to...

So you complain she is losing weight, but remember that a snake's metabolism (& weight) really depends on how warm they're kept PLUS how much food...

Hey everyone, I wanted to wait until today before giving an update. On 3/22 I put some of the probiotics in the rat's oral cavity and she ate just...

Once you've seen AND smelled a spoiled re-frozen rodent, it gets much easier to recognize them- they have a distinctive look & feel, & like I said,...

This was VERY helpful. I didn't realize the dark bellies, and lack of fur meant there was a problem. Many of the rodents I've bought from Hare Today...

In that case, I wouldn't worry about it- I'd continue to feed them off as long as you or your snakes don't notice any objectionable odor (or falling...

These rodents have been in storage for a couple months, The freezer burn was completely my fault.

OK folks- this thread has gone off topic long enough, & gotten snarky enough, so those who wish to continue their "debate" may now do so in the...
