Recently my BHP laid 7 eggs but unfortunately only 2 were fertile I've read that poor quality of the males sperm can cause this is there any other reasons ? The eggs all looked Healthy apart from that they were a lot smaller then the fertile eggs they were also nice and white but when you...

I have 2 snakes, a BHP and a Woma, I have noticed that when most people comment about either species, they usually give a locale e.g NT Woma or QLD BHP or even for a lot of other snakes the locale is almost a part of their taxonomy. I love both my snakes dearly and as far as I am concerned it...

Hello, I was on a day trip to a local hoppy farm / zoo / attraction some where between byron bay and ballina no names of course but while checking out the reptiles came across this poor guy, to me there is no excuss for this crap. There was recently a thread on here talking about the miss care...

So after having reptiles for almost 2 years I finally got bitten for the first time by my yearling bhp. It really took me by surprise as he hasn't bitten before and at first I didn't even realise he was trying to bite. It wasn't until I moved my hand and felt his teeth tear along my finger that...

Made this today... What's everyone's thoughts good bad ? I'm obviously using the over water method.... ####For BHP eggs#### Any tips ?

Hi guys, I had my python out for a handling session last night, when he decided to defecate (lucky I saw it coming, and thank goodness for lino floor coverings), only thing is there was a lot of fluid in his excrement. The info. On the 20th Sep fed on 2xfuzy rat (they were labled weaners but...

So my new python Ezio wont eat and isn't really interested in food at all. Calm to handle even though he's only been there for a week. He doesn't even smell it, just goes away and when you put it near him when he goes away or tap him with it to get attention he changes direction and speeds...

I've had my woma for 8 months now. Shes a really good girl and has only bitten me once which was simply a food response. When I run out of mice and feed rats, she smells it and takes her time and it may take up to 10 minutes before she very slowly takes it. But..... When food is a mouse...

Just read that people let the eggs shell before placing in incubator... Could someone tell me roughly how long this takes? .... Thanks :?

No one is going to stop the breeding of jags, zebras other cross morphs, so what should be done with the sibs? I personally think that they should be culled, so that these mongrels don't get sold and then passed off as "pure".

Hi just wanted to ask members here if they have had this happen to them, for the last couple of days my intergrade has been trying to push items in it's enclosure. The funny thing is that there small items that it could push easily, but my snake is trying to push the real heavy items. Such as...

I would like to place a number of large rocks on top of each other in the corner of an enclosure to create a feature however I am concerned that if the rocks are just placed on top of each other slippage could result in injury to the snake. My question is what can I do to prevent this?. I...

I have large ceramic tiles in the basking spot for my bhp cages which are prob an inch or so thick and about 25cms x 25cms. My silly Bhp being a Bhp thought it would be a good idea to sit under instead of on it. I've altered it now so he can't get under it. Made me cringe when I saw him under it...
