I think some of that is species related and when bigger is prey is introduced. BP's are very efficient with food and spend a lot of time curled...

Pics don't do him justice.

You can always try plugging the results into a genetic calculator. I tend to use the WOBP one but morph market also has one. ...

I totally agree. Better for them, health-wise, to avoid over-feeding (& many pet snakes are over-fed). Not just for BPs either- when I had a large...

Thank you, Boger! He's pretty long now, but really thickening up too.

Didn't mean to imply it was YOUR chart. :) However, it's commonly posted here, even by me, but not always with a proper description of feeding...

Last night, Shayna refused her first meal this winter. It's her first refusal in 9 months. She's doing great and I have zero concerns. I am...

Agree, & for those who don't know, it's NOT MY chart- it's part of this forum if you know where to find it. I wouldn't feed these snakes (or most...

Big, beautiful & bodacious boy! :cool:

A large rat fuzzy or small rat pup is fine. Are you feeding live or F/T? If feeding live, I would stick with smaller prey. Smaller prey = less likely...

That's great news. However, if she got sick while under your care, you probably should examine what might have caused that to prevent it in the...

Would have startled me. Especially since many things in Australia can kill or kill AND eat you. :colbert:

Yafe gobbled down another medium rat yesterday. I got a few pics the other day I thought I'd share.

Well, it had to be startling, & remember that in Australia MOST of the snakes are NOT harmless- & many people don't know one from another. Plus it's...

They try and make out it’s a scary prospect .. more like a harmless piece of string :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Well, he better enjoy it while it lasts. The day he takes a dump on one of my wife's books his library card's getting revoked.

I've had a few snakes that were similarly drawn to the scholarly pursuits in print- I was unable to discern if they preferred fiction or non-fiction....

I agree. I found the adaptations highlighted in this study very interesting.

this is awesome and, tangentially, this is why i am on mission to promote Afrocks like they are so unbelievably fascinating and, their temperament is...

I don't think Wiggles would mind. He hung out in that spot all evening.

after my nap i will go thru my notes and try to rustle up something but if memory serves re: nesting, this was said in conjunction with other...

A new study from South Africa observed wild snake mothers protecting and warming their young for weeks after they emerged from eggs. BY JOSHUA RAPP...

I'd be curious to see published comments on this connection. Nest building and maternal incubation are hard wired adaptive traits and are not...
