I have my 14mth old in a 4 x 2 x 2...but when he gets bigger i will give him an upgrade to a bigger size obviously...Eventually i have a 7 x 3 x 3 spare that he will move into when fully grown...Some will prolly say its too big, but id rather give my herps more rather thatn less space...

Would love to get 'realistic' prices on carpet snakes. The cheapest I have found is $850 for a hatchling...is this reasonable?

By the way, welcome to the site from another 'Perthite'

PS I have a pugalier!! LOL

 

[glacey]

Yeah thats about what you'd expect to pay. Armadale Reptile Centre had carpets for $660 a couple of months ago, not sure if they have any left.

 

[L & J]

Thanks for the heads-up...I'll give them a call.
Also, where can I get pinkies? Our stimmie won't eat the defrosted mice sold to us from the petshop (they don't sell pinkies) where we bought her. She hasn't eaten since Jan (when we bought her), has shed once and is a very active 3 yold! Thinking of giving the pinkies a go.

Forget about pinkies, she's too big for those. Maybe try weener rats?? Exotic Tropical Fish in Wangara will have them if you're NOR. Wild caught Stimson usually start having eating issues as the temps drop. If she doesn't eat in the next week or so, I'd just turn the heat down slowly and not feed her again until you start increasing the heat in Aug/Sept. I've had plenty go 6 - 12 mths without eating and have no ongoing probs.

i agree we are very limited in the python range and i find they are quite expensive compared to the east

Did I read right ?
Your 3 yo stimsons is eating pinkies ??. something not quite right there.
maybe you could bring it down to the West Australian Reptile park and I might be able to give you some tips. We are in the swan valley. PM me if you need any details.

Cheers
