I appreciate that. Money is a tighter constraint than time at the moment, though I want to reassure that we took thar into account before any...

You can make an enclosure out of anything if you are willing to spend enough effort/money. Recycling scrap glass to make a lining inside a wooden...

I try to match rocks as best as I can, but sometimes I just have too many different types-so I just use colors. Below is 'yellow' and 'red'. :) ...

I wish those were the previous owners of my house! No geodes here: My previous home owner(s) were really into chopping down trees on the property to...

Why doesn't your halogen bulb provide enough light? Is it that you want to be able to see into your enclosure at night when the halogen is off? ...

What size and which brand of radiant heat panel are you using?

I would recommend any appropriate/available dimmable LED, on a timer. I use some cheap 12v undercabinet strips that I got online like 15 years ago. ...

An ambient temp of 70*F in the winter is pretty cool. I would put the RHP in the middle and use it to maintain ambient temp at 78*F, then use the...

The room temp will stay 70 in the winter time & 75 in the spring/summer time. I assume the heat tape is 11" x 11". I have not received it yet from AP.

:rofl:That would make for a fun photo-shoot, but a little awkward for everyday living. I just meant that I've never been a fan of having all snakes...

Photo #487 Tumbled Sandstone (dry) with a Pastel Clown. I could've done a better job 'polishing' these stones (so they look wet), but, I don't...

When I first read this: I imagined you had rattlesnakes 'throughout your house'...a rattlesnake under the fridge..a rattlesnake in the bathtub...a...

A SMALL UPDATE: No more striking and minimal hissing. Still a little shy but working with him has definitely calmed him a bit. Also got him to...

I kept my rattlesnakes in large glass tanks (aquariums, designed to hold the weight of water, are very hard to break, unlike "glass terrariums") with...

Photo #486 Enchi/Het Clown Stones from multiple sources including: Africa/Brazil/India/Madagascar/Mexico/All across the USA :)

I wouldn't consider myself a 'large' breeder. Not sure what the criteria for that would be... I do count eggs, and I count clutches...it all good...

As you said, Homebody, snake tallies can vary a great deal. I only have a "few" retired snakes now, but years back, & in a much bigger house...

I'm in the 'I don't count them' camp, usually. When someone asks, I'll usually tally up what I consider 'permanent residents' -- animals that are...

I had a little fun imagining what counting snakes is like for a large breeder. For us hobbyists it's simple, but I imagine large breeders have many...
