Hi all, Reason for this post is that I've noticed quite a few damaged scales on both my male and female BHP's. This has only occurred since cooling, but that may just be coincidental. I've not found any mites and it doesn't look like scale rot (and is only along the top of the head and for...

Hi - I recently come across this snake and originally thought it was a copperhead but now I'm not so sure. It was approx 25cm long and in the Rylstone area of NSW. I've heard baby brown snakes can sometimes have a black head as well. Can anyone tell me what it was?

Please share how you got into reptile keeping Always had a fascination A friend kept some reptiles Your kids wanted a snake My son wanted a snake from the time he could talk....LOL saw one in a pet shop in Melbourne and that was it

I know you won't be able to tell exactly from photos but I wanted opinions as to what locality people think this BHP may be. Thank you in advance

Yesterday when I checked his tank I noticed he has escaped, his only 2 months old. I never thought he could fit through the gap of the 1/4 inch square wire mesh that I use on top of his enclosure. i have looked almost everywhere, but he could be anywhere being such a small monitor. i have...

My spotted python is about fifteen months old. I've had her for a little over a year. She's always been an excellent shedder; never had a problem, never even seems like she's about to shed and then I'll find a perfect, complete skin in the tank the next morning. She's been fed quite a few times...

Hi, I've had a Pygmy Python for about 9 months now, and it's never had a problem with handling. Over the last two weeks, though, it's started striking whenever a hand goes near it, it's been fed twice in the time, any idea why there's been this sudden change in behaviour?

i am looking at getting my first snake and can't decide between a blond spotted python or a tanami woma. what do you guys think? any pros and cons?

2 days after I fed my 4 month old Spotted python I was handling her and she stared nosing the back of my hand and then opening her mouth and trying to bite me sideways, but not really biting me or striking, just casually rubbing her open mouth on my hand. I wash my hands with the same soap...
