New member from Miami.

Well I'm a new member, been around the reptile community for about 6-7 years now. Started with a Bearded Dragon, that mysteriously passed away after no health issues at the age of about 5.

I've been on quite a few communities in the past and present and have seen this site before, but never actually registered, however after seeing so many praises on Snakebytes.tv I figured I should stop ghost roaming and actually register.

Right now I have 3 new babys.

Ball Python is about 4 months old.
Leopard Gecko is about 3 months old.
Colombian Red Tail Boa is about 2 months old.


All three enclosures...



Ball Python (Snickers)



Leopard Gecko (Domino)



Colombian Red Tail Boa (Kaiden)



In the near future both the BP and CRTB will have a "cold" side hide and a humid hide.
Sometime in the future all three will have some time of wallpaper/background.

Sorry for the quality, iPhone... Maybe there will be pictures of the actual herps in the future. =P

Hi there and welcome! It's about time you joined, sheesh. Now you're not going to be able to get away bwuauah.

PS I giggled irl when I saw your reflection in the second picture XD

[c.nash]

LOL. Thanks for the welcome, and yes, the reflection was kinda hard to prevent. =P

Welcome to BP.net!!! Hit up the Husbandry section for Ball Pythons...We need to talk about that tank set up.

What might you mean?

Hello There! Welcome Aboard! I'm in Ft. Lauderdale, so we're neighbors sort of.

Keep in mind that many on this forum have tons of experience, and love the animals, so when they see something that could be tweaked in a set up, they will offer their advice. And most of the time is good advice. I've learned almost everything I know about BPs on this forum.

You should definitely check out the husbandry section. The BP tank looks a tad big for a baby (looks like a 40 gal breeder? But I could be wrong). You could probably just section it off until your BP grows big enough. But, like Slim suggested, check out the Husbandry section. Believe me, you will learn things on there.

Again, welcome to our community!

[ThyTempest]

I agree, hit up the husbandry sections...I found it strange that the bp is the bigger tank...while the boa in what looks like a 20L.

Either way, welcome aboard.

The Ball Python started life in my 10 gallon which is now occupied by my leopard gecko.

The ball python roams the large enclosure quite a lot and I like for him to have room, he is probably between 2 and 3 feet long.
The large enclosure is a 75 gallon.

The Red Tail is really a BABY, tiny in comparison to the Ball Python.

The Ball Python probably grew 6-8 inches and about 3 inches in girth in the first three weeks I had him.

Here are some pictures I just took of the snakes. (Pictures suck and don't show the TRUE colors of the snakes)

Just for laughs and Giggles Here is Domino, our Leopard Gecko

Oh, and Muze. I am in Ft. Lauderdale every so often, I have a few friends up around that area and I go to Towers Shops every once in awhile for the car shows.

[Muze]

Yeah, I've seen those shows. I've never actually been to one (just drove around the parking lot), but they look pretty neat.

I was imagining the BP was much smaller. But keep in mind that sometimes they roam around a lot because they are stressed. He looks like he's a really good weight so I imagine you don't have any feeding issues with him. I would still check out the husbandry section as I've found little things to tweak in my set ups a few times.

&, honestly, you'll have members on here give you advice all the time. It really is meant for your BP's welfare (I'm not saying listen to all of it. But there are some very experienced members that know what they are talking about. You'll come across them later on).
