My Snake Collection.

I'm not sure if they would eat fish.
They really like worms and slugs. I threw in a few baby roaches but I have not seen him eat any.

A couple of more pics of the new girl.

So I said no more snakes (for a while) and tonight I get 2 more.

Peter Lindsey did a presentation tonight and had a few of his snakes with him. He is moving away to run or work at Bob Ashley's museum and well...

I picked up a Texas Rat x White Oak Grey Rat

He had a clutch mate that has a kink in his back. Said he needed a good home, so he gave me that one too. :)

It's going to be cool to see what they will look like as adults. One already bit me :D
I'll get better pics soon.

Nice! Im not a colubrid fan but those guys are cute lol

Thanks Mike.
I'm just a snake fan :o I mean Hoarder.

Haha snake hoarders are the best people! I like rat and pine and bull snakes Im gonna have to get one one day. Do the rat snakes rattle their tails like the pine snakes?

I have 2 wild caught Black Rats and the 2 new ones, they all rattle their tails.
All my Cal Kings do too. :)

K I wanna get one of them not sure which yet, what snakes do they have close temp requirements too can they go my ball rack or is 32 quarts too small for adults

BP temps will be to hot for the Cal Kings. They like it a bit cooler.
The Rats can get up over 6'

Right now I have my Rats and Kings in my T room that's right around 82 and they don't have a hot spot.

Now I'm not sure about other King snakes. They might be able to take higher temps.

Good info on Kings
http://www.kingsnake.com/rockymounta...MHkingsand.htm

My snake room/rat is 80 for a temp summer is harder to keep round there but it's normally 80-90 I may need to take a look see at them. Once my room is done I'm wanna have few other types than balls in there.

I love BPs but I could never just keep BPs. I like so many different types of snakes.
If my Kings start to get warmer they will soak all day to cool off.

Ya I love my carpet I just gotta figure out the way I can set up other tanks its a small room. In summer it makes out at 95 I'm gonna figure out a ac type thing to keep it around 80 tho I think this year since my collection has grown a bit since last summer lol

Just read through this thread. 3skulls, your collection is awesome. Love when ppl have a variety.

My favs of yours in no particular order:

"Highlighter" Carpet- love the contrast and brightness
The boas- very nice looking, plus who doesn't like boas
Ring neck- never saw one, looks/sounds like a cool snake. love the ring
Black rat- so cute, plus I'm biased cause I have an albino
BRB- BRBs are one of the coolest snakes I've seen in person, pictures never do them justice


Carlson: could you put a window A/C unit in that room? Or possibly a portable A/C unit, they are fairly effective for small rooms. Just a couple ideas to throw your way if you don't have any.

:bangs head: one of these days when I'm sitting on my butt, I'll post my collection.

Thanks Pyrate, very kind of you to stop by. We were talking at work today about which type of snake we liked best. I couldn't pick.
There are so many more that I want to add :o

I'm pretty proud of my Carpets even if I didn't produce them. I love the way their face looks, such a great snake to keep.

The Ringneck is up on the list. He is the only one I have ever seen in person. I can never find them. A very different type of snake for sure.

You are right about BRBs. I have seen some great photos of them but they never do them justice. I wish he was more of a display snake. He is so awesome looking but ALWAYS hides :(

I don't think I'll ever be able to pick a favorite. :D

You should put a collection thread together. I know it gets slow in here but a couple of years from now, it's going to be cool to look back through it.

I have a portable unit I may set in there this summer or in the hallway outside the door so nothing gets sucked in the room. Hoping its easy, mn can't figure out what it's weather should be like so heating like mad in winter and cooling everything in summer so it doesn't over heat

Couple of locks for today.

I'm pretty sure this girl is glowing.

No other signs as of yet.

I pulled my male Carpet and put him up in my T room. I felt he was getting to skinny and he has been off feed for a while. If he eats ill put him with his girls again. I think one of them might go, not sure of the other.

Really nice collection! I liked looking at all the pics. Good luck on your pairing!

Thanks! :D

A good sign..? :)

Eggs eggs eggs.
Looks like 20-21 eggs.
:)

Congrats man hope they all hatch out happy and healthy for you.

Carpets! Can't wait to see the little guys once they come out

Thanks guys. It's my very first clutch ever, so I'm pretty excited.

I'm hoping for her fathers color and her size.
Time will tell. :D

Looks like all my girls are building.

I think she will be the first BP to go.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/25/gy2usemu.jpg

This girl looks amazing in person. Glowing and big for being off feed for a couple of weeks.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/25/5e2ysuny.jpg

And my Het Clown that's been pairing with my Pastel het Clown.
(Fingers crossed)

Do I need to heat the house before I hide them?

:)
She is such a good girl. Went early, back on feed 5 days after lay and gave me 19 good eggs.
My other Carpet girl gave me 5 but she went off feed really early. I didn't think she was going to go at all.

So excited to see them pop out!!

So what time is the easter egg hunt i got my basket ready.

You have lovely snakes! (And spiders if I may add! haha) Love the picture with the eggs!

Thanks!!

It's been very busy around here. :)
We candle them once a week and they all still look very healthy.

I felt bad when I took their eggs.

I can tell! Haha.
That's good, for precautions and all.

I think everyone feels a bit guilty when they do, not talking from experience since I don't have any experience lol, but think about when those eggs hatch safely!

Woke up to this!! I think she is still laying.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/06/epy3ases.jpg

She gave me 8 !!
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/06/u6ava6ym.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/06/ejypa5ag.jpg

She needs a few good meals.


Total of 32 eggs as of now.
4 more girls to go. 2 will be late.

Sounds like your incubator is getting quite the work out this year. Congrats on all the eggs!

Thank you.
It's going to be exciting to see babies!

What was that 8 egg gal paired with?!

Congrats!

Pastel het Clown early on then my little Fire finished up.

Hoping the Fire got the job done.

Thanks!

Sweet! I paired my fire boy to my cinny. I hope she lays. Shes in shed now so im hoping thats her pre-ovy shed. *Hopefully* i see her glowing after this shed.

Dam skulls your a busy busy man! In a season or two I many need to hit you up for a carpet :) once I move to an actual house I need another so I can watch it grow from baby to adult.

This girl was Glowing very early then went back to normal. Wasn't sure she was going to go, then I found her inverted and very right coils. (In earlier pics)

I don't have anything real crazy this year unless my Het Clown x Pastel Het Clown goes!!

I can get.
Spiders
Bees
Pastels
Fires
Clowns / Pastel Clowns :)

Next year will be really exciting.

I've grown very fond of my big girl:) haha but want space for two nice displays onces for then. I need to throw together another ball rack too like ASAP so I can get my hands on a couple morph males an girls through out this year

I want to set my Carpets in some Animal Plastics t10 cages.
My two girls are still in the rack they came with. They are huge tubs but I want to give them something nice.

I think the total is 335 with shipping.
Heat, shelf, lock on the door.

Lots of work and things to get done this year.
