Just wondering if peoples dogs or any other pets interact with their snakes. When I have my 8 month old jungle out our 17 month old sheltie is very interested. He is well trained and I am confident that he will never disobey my command to leave it alone lol. The jungle is also eager and...

Do shingle backs need uvb light?

While checking out the vetafarm site I also found this... LIZARD FOOD [no links] Does anyone use this to feed their lizards? I have previously been advised by my vet not to use 'dry pellet' foods so Im unsure if I should try it. Would love to hear what you all think about it. Cheers

My shingle just got a little sample of prime, finely sliced, porterhouse steak. We were cutting it up and she was around so she got a few little chunks, she loved it! Would this be an alright TREAT (ie. not even a weekly thing)? I can't see why not, it's human quality and has been frozen and...

Hello, long time no post but i thought this one was a story to tell :) Sure, we snap up a good bargin or two over the internet and usually when u find a good deal the price you pay is indeed a well worth travel, hunt or race to get it. Me and good deals have found each other many times and i am...

While digging in a water line on a property at the Watagans, we disturbed a couple of Red Napeds (Furina diadema). I think its a breeding pair, with the female being the larger at aprox 300mm and the male being the smaller at aprox 240mm. After a couple of photos we put them back under their...

A little while ago i went to feed and give her some water and found her dead she had been sleeping but every few days i would get her out and give her some water via an eyedropper and a feed of either insects or vegies, she would eagerly take the water and food she was also opening her bowels...

These two days past I've had only urates come out of my shingleback... hmm. I soaked her in a bath today and massaged her but only got a big strain and long, white strand of... well, I don't know. She was picky to eat yesterday and didn't end up having much. Should I bother giving her baby-food...

My shingleback's settled in lovely since I've got her and in my limited experience she's been the best I've had so far. She eats lovely, has only once displayed one the first day I had her, shedding beautifully and seems to 'enjoy' being handled. But... lately I've been handling her a bit more...

just wondering if anyone out there could sell me a cheap baby shingleback or eastern blue tongue lizard, cheers.

hey i was wondering can you keep bluetongues and beardies comfortably in the same (indoor) inclosure, my enclosure is 1m by about a foot and has 2, 7 month beardies and was wondering if it would be big enough for 1-2 blueys of the same size, does anybody keep them together and advice, OR any...

Hello all - I'm running the consideration of picking up two little Cunningham's and I was just wondering a few things. I HAVE Googled and read other posts, I just want some more info. Firstly - can they be handled? I know this shouldn't be my first question but... I love having my little guys...

Well, a few of you might know... but I've recently had my first herp of several years, Arby, pass away. I find I'm having a hard time dealing with the loss... it's effecting my day-to-day activities. Does anyone have any tips to deal with pet-loss? It's a hard time for (what I'd like to...

Hi i was wondering if u could put a blue tongue and a shingleback in the same cage?

Do you think its okay to house two blue tongue together that are different sizes? One is about 30cm long but really skinny - just got her so gonna build her up a bit the other is 45cm and a hefty male - not fat just a big bloke The larger one is male (i think) and the smaller female... am...

Well... just yesterday my blotched blue-tongue, Arby, passed away. Some of you may remember I posted a thread in the help section asking if the small scale damage was any cause for concern. I can only guess but I think that the supposed mouth rot was the cause of his demise, as when I examined...

Just wondering if any one names thier pets with Clever or Funny names? I named my Orange phase Beardie Plumpkin, because hes a Fatty and orange. My Jungle Carpet Tarzan, cause Jungle you get it ? lol. Striped Carpet is Zeelo, cause Striped like a Zebra and the 'lo' comes from cleopatra...

Well, as happy as I am with my gorgeous new baby boy, Remmy, the central bearded dragon... I can't seem to handle him at all. I haven't had him long, but I have owned one (central bearded) in the past and had no problems. Thing is though, when he first arrived in his previous enclosure and all...

Hello, (this may very well be a stupid and embarressing post...) but I was wondering if it's at all possible to house a blue tongue (thought to be male) and shingleback (sex unknown) skink together? I own the blue tongue and I'm considering purchasing a shingleback, but that depends on the...

Hi all, my bluetongue and beardie went into brumation over a month ago. My shingleback, though not eating (but drinking occasionally), is still walking around a bit (though she's slower than she was in spring/summer). This is my first winter with her. The only difference I can think of between...

This is my lovely new boy I purchased today. I have named him Monster :-) He is so gorgeous - don't you think???? And Gaga (the dark one) loves him..... They were curled up asleep together today

One of the guys in a german forum asked me if it is actually possible to export a australian snake and I couldn't answer this question. For me it would be of particular interest if I can take my own pet snake (given that I own it for a while) with me when I leave the country permanently. I heard...

Ok so i was just browsing through the threads last night and I saw a few post that poked my curiousity. I know there are Mac, Darwin, Spotted and Olive Albinos but what other Albino's are out there in respect to Australian snakes (including Elapids, Colubrids and File species). What about...
