It sucks to have a problem clutch because you only get one chance/year/female. What were you using for a heating element and thermostat? How were...

Thank you, bcr229, for your response. The hatchlings stayed in the eggs for another 3–4 days. There was no tangled umbilical cord. Two of the...

31.9*C is about 89.5*F so your temp would have been fine. Did the neonates come out on their own quickly, or did they stay in the eggs while they...

Correction to the name, its ( dcherps )

My clutch #3 is the offspring of a VPI Axanthic/Orange Ghost x 100% Het Tri-Stripe. I was concerned that I was producing 50% Possible Het...

That's a gnarly lookin' snake.

I hatched my second Spider Highway (Gravel/YB) ball python the other day (shown at bottom of photo below). I was surprised at how different this one...

I'd love to see pics of how you have them set up.

Currently at home just some day geckos. Planning a panther chameleon enclosure as we speak! In our showroom we do have a variety of animals...

There is absolutely nothing to worry about. It is very likely that in the near future the snake will go off food for months at some point. I have...

The only good thing from a snake perspective is that if you lose power at this time of year, your snake isn't going to get too cold. You of course...

This is all actually good info I never would have thought of. I'm in a hurricane zone myself.

Definitely skip the food tonight. I always delay feeding if there is any chance of a power outage. It’s safest for the snake and in the event that...

If there's any concern about the power, best to wait. An adult male BP in normal condition could skip a month of feeding without any problem...

There was nothing unusual. I've had snakes pass from cancer and once it's advanced there are outward signs - anorexia, strong-smelling urine or...

He's a rescue so I don't know his exact age, but around 5-6 years. He's gone off food for longer than a week without losing weight so I'm not super...

How old is he?

I'm sorry for your loss! Were you able to notice anything unusual about the snake before/after it passed? Tumors, heavy breathing, erratic...

I'm sorry for your loss & I very much agree with you. Without getting into all the specific details, I too have seen unusual* outcomes in snakes...

Update: we found one of the babies dead this morning. No idea why other than her history, as she had been eating weekly and acting like any other...

What sort of reptiles do you keep Mark?

International Herpetological Symposium

I hope all who celebrate: Have A Great 4th of July tomorrow! :) My Clutch #1 is still hatching. From pairing: Pastel/Piebald/50% Het Hypo (Ghost)...

Cool pic showing our Classic Versa Reptile Rack, Ultra Rodent Rack, Classic Versa Rodent Rack, and NEW Reptile Slotted Stainless Steel Rack! ...

When I bred some desert glossy snakes years ago, they actually rose up out of their eggs (an inch or 2), looking much like bean sprouts, but if I...

It's so cute the way babies blow bubbles.

The 2025 hatchening begins! :)

@Bogertophis, Alpha came with that name! It is also neat because I am in finance and an alpha is a term for outperformance. Good luck with...

The biggest problem with big dogs is that when we owners get older & have issues (like knee problems, etc) those big dogs are just too much to pick...

Yes, adopting is a roll of the dice but even if you buy from a breeder (which I'd personally never do, with all the dogs that need homes) there's no...
