Snake Cam

I thought this might be a cool idea. I had an ethernet camera laying around. Not 100% sure how this will hold up but I attached the camera to the side of the glass tank with mounting tape. I hooked it up to my day/night timer, no point in running it at night

Snake Cam

Looks like he's checking out the camera:

Fun idea. I checked it out and it showed just the hide. Now how does it reset itself. I am on dial up so I don't know if it'll do it on it's own w/o me refreshing my page everytime.

What might work is if you use a blue bulb for an evening viewing if you keep the lights out around evening time, so we can see when your little guy is out and about. I don't think they give off heat and are labeled for nighttime viewing. Just keep it on for a few hours while he's out and about.

Again fun idea. I wish I could do that with my snakes and then set up a nighttime viewing too for my mice and rats.

Cute little one you got there too.

Cool setup. "Peekaboo!"

Cool, never though of doing that. Hopefully something cool will happen lol.

You have to use ActiveX or Java for live video feed.

Everytime you refresh it displays a new image, right now he crawled back in the hide.

I do have a blue bulb at night but the camera kinda sucks and you can't make out anything at night.

If you click java or activex you can use the live viewer (don't know how well that will work over my broadband connection)

Works well, refreshes every 2-3 seconds for me.

That's too bad the blue bulb doesn't work. Is there away you can angle the hide so we can view him snoozing or is it too dark in there for it? Don't bother with it if it's gonna disturb him, I know I hate being woken up from a nap, I am sure he doesn't like it much either.

What his name and how old is he?

It's too dark in the hide, even when I look in there at eye level I can't see hardly anything.

Actually I haven't come up with a name yet, i've only had it for about 2-3 weeks.

Not sure if it's a he or she or how old it is. It was labeled as a baby captive raised at the pet store

Mouse!!!

It's not dead. I bought some mice the other day to breed, besides thats an adult mouse, way too big for my guy right now

lol, hes looking around right now, thats pretty cool man. I thought about doing something like this so I could watch him while at work, but have no idea how. pretty kickass man....my snake is no where near that active. :(

Yeah every once and awhile he likes to cruise around. Loves to go climbing in the fake plants on the other side.

All he did right then was just move to the cold hide

yours moves to the different hides? I need to get my snake talking with yours so he can be told whats up and how this :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: works....lol j/k awesome idea man, mad props.

awww, the page won't even show up for me. it says the connection isn't working, yet i am sitting here talking to you fine people. sounds really cool though!

I have that same background paper for one of my tanks..oh and that Fluker's Digital thermometer/hygrometer rocks !!!:rockon:

I thought he said that he turned the cam off at night...

Yeah, it's not working for me either. Guess he turned it off.

It's hooked to my day/night timer, so it runs like 7am-8pm or something like that

Very cool. I can see a nose shadowed in the hide :)

I've been checking out this cam every day or so now. I have yet to see your snake or even a glimpse of it.

I will keep lookin' tho. I can't wait to see it poke out.
