This may seem a little random, however my husband and I were discussing different breeds of snakes last night, from the most prettiest vens to some of the largest boas. Then it got us into a discussion of one super snake. Which got me thinking. If you could pick only THREE breeds to make ONE...

Hi everyone! So! Here's the deal… I've got this big old TV cabinet I picked up a few months back ($50, thought it was a bit of a steal!), and I've decided I want to convert it into some snake enclosures, 2 to be precise. I'm not positive exactly how this is going to work, and I'm definitely not...

Hey guys, in the last 48 hours I've had three of my five snakes shed. One male and one female sub-adult Bredli and a yearling Diamond x Jungle have all shed. Female Saturday night, Male Last night and yearling tonight. My question is, is this just a random chance of their shed cycles...

I've been looking to get a water python as my next snake but can't seem to find much info on them. After having a thorough look on the search engine I have a few questions that still haven't been answered. I know they are pretty much housed like normal pythons. Hot end/cold end, water bowl (a...

Some friends a couple of suburbs away called me the other night after their dogs found a little visitor in their yard. They were in the pool when one of the dogs started barking at the steps leading up to the house. They got out to see what it was all about and found this little fella. I got...

*Bumpity bump* now for the decisions o.O

Ok, so I met Fluffy the water python and my heart just melted (and so did my brain) and now I have my collection and I couldn't ask for nicer snakes :) She is so friendly and sweet and her colours are amazing. Fluffy has been working as a demonstration snake so she is really bombproof and loves...

I went back to the same general area as last night, but on different tracks. Much better results tonight than last night. Well in the snake department. Seen at least 6 species but unfortunately some were roadkill. I decided to skip the keelbacks this time... over 120 in two nights.. too many...

Hey. My BHP just pee'd. This is the 1st time I've seen something like this in her waste. Is it worms or blood? Her last meal was 2 medium rats and 3 chicken legs. All Frozen/thawed. she hasn't had fresh foods in many months. Thanks Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

Funny but my water python bella and my olive python Oscar were both on their basking shelves and both did the same thing when I offered their rat both lunged at the rat and fell off their perch but coiled straight around the thawed rat upside down. It was like a dog playing fetch with a stick...

As the title says. My mac is two and half years old and 95cm long. The reptile bloke that I buy my rats off tells me hopper rats are the way to go for now. However, I've just read on Dolittle farm that rats aren't advised for macs but small quail are, so the point of all this is do any of you...

Hey all, Just wondering, Should I feed my bredli still if he has gone milky? He hasn't shed or gone milky just before a feed, I gave him an adult mouse and he is just playing with it and now lost interest. Should I take it out or leave it for a bit? The Diamond still eats his... but he is...

Today I handled my 8 month old jungle for the first time and it went really well. I used a hook to get him out of his click clack and then lowered him above my hand so he could scent it and make his way down when he felt comfortable(I believe this is a good tip for newbies like myself). I had...

Disturbed this little fella early this morning. He must have just turned in for the day after a night's hunting but picked the wrong spot. Under some empty bags in my shed that needed to be moved. Took him out for these shots and then put him back in the shed. Only about 40 cms long, looks to be...

My 5 year old female jungle just collapsed this arvo dead. She was in bad shed since Thursday but I had her swimming and in a moist pillow case to try rub it off. However I don't think a bad shed crushed this. I am looking to have her autopsied but font know where to go for this. I live south...

One of my children's pythons that I have had for many years now, has had a bad shed every single time she sheds. This baffles me, as I have tried different beddings, different humidity levels, different temps, different size enclosures and tubs, and yet, she still has very bad sheds every time...

Hi guys, I've just came across these strange scales on my female diamond python and just wondering if someone could help me out to what it's is, how it may have started and how I fix it. It's in three different places and in different sizes. She also shed two weeks ago. Any help is much...
