Please help protest against the Officeof Environment and Heritage's new cage compliance for reptilekeeping in NSW. You may already have this somewhere onthe site but I want to put it up again to reach more people. I did not write the below letter,possibly it was written by Andrew Camelleri...

Hey guys, I have a Water Python and a few queries regarding her enclosure size. All the content I've read online suggests that the perimeter of the base of the enclosure (in my case 4x2) should be at least twice the length of the fully grown python. From what I've read, I'm expecting her to...

The last couple of days the tendent (I think) running up my wrist over my thumb has been really sore.. But I've been trying to think what I had done to it, then I remembered my adult jungle bite me on the wrist close to my thumb alittle over a week ago, and it hurt a hell of a lot more then a...

Hi all. As I've stated I'm a new owner to a olive python(I know there not a small snake), I know a bit about snakes as a friend of mine has a few of them that I'm always playing with and asking him questions about. But my problem is I have an olive that's around 6 months old and doesn't eat by...

She is a 7 month old caramal coastal, snappy atm a lil bit, after some names to suit her colouring :) Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Hi all I've just joined your site and am enjoying reading the threads. It's been quite a few years since we kept snakes and even then it was only a couple of childrens' pythons and a lovely Water Python called Valentine as well as a couple of blue tongues. I got the snakes for myself but used...

G'day old mates and new members, last year I was banned from APS because of the stupid things I did, so first of all, I am apologising to all moderators and people I may have offended in my actions.It wasn't it the terms of my return that I apologise but I am. I'm sorry. on another note, I now...

A couple more of these magnificient animals have been found. Gavin Bedford should be very happy.

Took delivery of our newest addition a male Albino DCP hatchy in early January this year. He was bred in South Australia and now lives in Cairns. He had been feeding and shedding well according to the information sheet we got with him. Since then he has only taken food twice. So that's one...

I recently acquired an adult murray darling and have had a few issues choosing a suitable water bowl for her. At first I was using a large Tupperware lid (much to my mother's disgust) which the MD fit nicely in. She loved swimming/soaking in it, but it's shallow and she made the water overflow...

I have read that, in nature, pythons will eat various foods, including lizzards, snails, and reptile eggs as well as bird eggs. Is there any benefit to give them a varied diet in captivity, too? Especially chicken eggs would be a cheap option (at least occasionally), but I have never read that...

Well if this isn't a way for a snake to get a burn i dont know what is. This snake is for sale on gumtree by the way

Just out of curiosity do you name your snakes i know some people do. Mine have been mr. Cuddles (coastal carpet), lillith (coastal carpet), oh no (jungle), legs (stimmy), anaksunamun(water python), set (water python) and alchemy (childrens). How do you name your guys?

Hey all, flew up to Darwin then headed to Kakadu National Park for the weekend (25th - 29th April). Here is just some of what we found, hope you enjoy the photos :). Fresh Water Crocodile (Crocodylus johnsoni) by Matt Clancy Wildlife Photography, on Flickr Frill-necked Lizard (Chlamydosaurus...

Hmmmm, watched Dirty jobs downunder the other night and was horrified by some of the statements Mike Rowe made in regards to killing our native snakes ie browns etc, thankfully the snake catcher from Adelaide that was with him kept telling him how illegal it was to kill them but it did not seem...

I got my 4 new snakes - and they are huge! They are two pairs, one pair of Bredli and one pair of Murray Darlings, between 5 and 8 years old, and really big. I have got two fully equipped enclosures, about 5 feet (150cm) high and 2-3 feet wide and deep, and two water tanks, about 4 feet wide...

My gorgeous stimmi Cleo escaped her tank on Friday night...she is just over a year old and there has been no sign of her :( I have no idea whether she is still in my room or if she has gotten outside and I am heartbroken. She was my first python as a gift for my 18th... I've pulled the house...

Hi Everyone, Well this week has been a really long one. As a favour I decided to look after this guys snakes as he was moving and had no where to keep them. Although I didn't know him very well I met him on this SITE. He came to have a look at one of my snakes who was not doing too well a few...

Hey everyone, Just wondering how easy it is to tame a snake so that it is confident with you and what are the best ways to tame them? thanks :)

Heard that it was signed off last night that reptiles can now be sold in shops in NSW. Can anyone confirm?

Hey peoples what is your favorite snake that you keep? And why? Thank-You!!!!

Has anyone ever bred an albino bredli? And im not talking about crossing a bredli with an albino darwin. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

My Water python, Lola, had a bad shed a few days back and has been super cage defensive, more than usual. This morning I woke up to a nice big wet poo which she left me on the basking shelf. Is it normal is basically my question and could it have contributed to her overly aggressive behaviour...

Basically my ~16 month old Water Python had a bad shed. Came off in pieces... Anyway, long story short I did a search on how to get the remaining skin off and I got most of it off just gently by hand but she still has a few single scales down her body that are stuck on. The eye caps are...

I'm trying to get one of my water pythons to switch from mice to rats. It's only his 3rd feed but my female water python who is the same age switched with no problems. He seems to have very little interest in rats. He looks hungry at first till he smells, then will leave it. Last night I tried...

Hello everyone!! I have read/ heard a lot of conflicting advice about this topic so thought I would throw the question over to you guys for even more confusion!!! ;) I am extremely lucky to own a 4 year old Murray Darling and a 3 year old Darwin that are both really incredible creatures (as...

I have a water python that rarely sheds well most of the time I was wanting to know what people do with problem shedders so they do their shed with little assistance. I have tried the spray misting of water and also using sorbolene cream but doesn't make a difference As on the other end of...

hello peeps. i found about a metre long snake in my outdoor bathroom yesterday. i live in rural darwin area. it had a head like a carpet python but it was black allover, with a barely visible pattern like a carpet python. I have been searching for an identity but cant find anything like it...

Went on the Cape York Herpetological Society field trip at the Mareeba Wetlands last night, there was only four people in total but we saw four Keelbacks, a Water python, a Darwin carpet python, a Brown bicarinate rainbow-skink, a Northern velvet gecko, a brush tail, about a dozen tarantulas...

Hey I'm new the reptile community/hobby and over the weekend picked up my first reptile a thick tailed gecko. Do you guys have any others suggestions for reptiles that would be good for a beginner reptile keeper.

Ill start off, either the olive python or the inland taipan :D.

Wasn't sure what to search for to find topics related to this, so here goes. I've never really taken my snakes outside, let them climb trees etc. At least, not without them still firmly gripping my hand/arm. I once put my children's python on the lawn and he shot straight up the nearest palm...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anybody has bought a snake (or lizard) from Snake Ranch? If you have what are your thoughts? I'm trying to find a suitable breeder for a childrens python and was supposed to be getting mine tomorrow, except the breeder never emailed me back.. So Snake Ranch is...

I had Floyd out for some out-in-the-sun fun for a while. He seemed to love it, though I'm sure I loved it more. It always makes me smile, seeing my little critters cruising through the grass, it just looks so natural. Anyway! After our fun, I brought Floyd back inside and set him on the bench...

Being only young in the hobby and care for 3 snakes, (soon to be 5) this isnt my favourite part. I was just moving ne of my jungle from feeding tub to enclosure, i touched her, she was fine and then she grabbed me, she is only just over a year old (so only small) but she can bite. So far this is...

In my time here, I've noticed a LOT of picture threads that only target specific snake species. That makes it hard for people like me with less common snakes (Cape York carpet etc) to post up pics without starting a new thread each time. Plus I want to see anything and everything that you guys...

Owning a cape york carpet and a water python, I don't often post pictures of my critters. I'm always seeing "Show us your black heads!" "show us your coastals!" "show us your womas!" etc etc.. I'm not sure I've ever seen one for water pythons or cape yorks, and even if there was one, they'd be...

Hello everyone! :) So I don't plan on getting my snake any time soon; I'm going to wait until I'm comfortable with my level of knowledge and have a great forever enclosure, ect. But I'm already excited and eager to learn more and collect the things I'm going to need. Currently, I'm looking...

Found this article in the local paper yesterday and found it quite amusing. It also brought up a question that I didn't know the answer to. Is anyone, apart from large marine aquariums especially equipped, allowed to own sea snakes? If so, then is there a special license required along wit...
