I'm resting my female Diamond this year but have a cooled & champing at the bit male ready to go - anyone interested in providing a female & coming to some arrangement in sharing any hatchies?
I've got an incubator ready to go as well.
I've included a pic of the male - although he's quite a bit bigger now.
Cheers

He's about doubled in size since the photo, I'll take some new ones in the next few days.
He's a very good male, gets on with the job right away lol. At the moment he's off his food & pacing all over his enclosure!
Cheers

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-06 Location: Melbourne | | | | Forgive my ignorance, but what diseases/parasites can snakes get that are that bad they require quarantining for 6-12mths? It seems a very long time. Is this based on experience or just being protective? I know of mites and worms but these are easily fixed aren't they? Or could the individuals being introduced be pre-treated?
Does anyone have a list of diseases that can be caught, what their implications are, how long they take to clear up, and how they are cleared up? |
