Hello Guys, I am curious is anyone has any idea what the heck this fella is. I have seen several of them in my yard, usually on the palm tree as this one is. This one is the largest one I have seen so far. I thought possibly an Anole, but this is very large for that species. Also, it has green...

Well... My first clutch was terrible. I hatched only 1 out of 13 eggs. Clutch #2 was not looking too much better. Last time, I had one pip and then I waited patiently for a few days before I realized that the remaining eggs had died. I sliced them open to see what went wrong and in 6 of the dead...

Clutch number 2, and the last clutch, for this season just started to pip this morning. Only one little nose so far, but a beautiful Leucistic Texas Rat Snake it is. I have 5 more eggs that seem good in this clutch, so I will wait until tomorrow to see if any more of them pip. Last time, I...

Hi Guys, I have been too busy to stop by for a while. My schoolwork has been horrendous. Anyway, I hatched my first clutch earlier this season and only 1 of the original 11 eggs hatched. 6 made it through incubation, but only 1 pipped. I opened the others and found fully formed snakes that for...

This is a pic of my first ever hatched snake egg. The parents are Leucistic Texas Rat Snakes. This guy is a precocious little sucker. He is so far the only to have pipped, and he was fully out this morning. Temperament wise, he is a lot like his father. He moves around a lot. He is already...

I was wondering about any stories people may have about snakes or other animals they ALMOST came into contact with and wish they had. My Story: I got home from work early one afternoon, and when I opened the back door to let the dog out, there was an Eastern Indigo sunning him or her self on...

Losing my mind. One seems to be a bot deflated, and another seems to have ruptured, but no little noses yet. The remaining 4 eggs are totally unchanged. I tried to candle them while they are in the substrate, but they still have veins and big dark spots that I assume are the pippies... Losing...

OK Guys, I am now finishing up day 60 on my first clutch of Rat Snake eggs... No slitting, no dimpling, no hatching! What is going on?

I have been looking at the pics that people have posted of the eggs. I am curious about something. The first clutch of eggs that my girl Leucy Texas Rat Snake dropped were stark white. Even the ones that ended up failing were bright white to begin with. Now, her second clutch is on the ground...

Got home today to see these little guys in the nesting box. This is the 2nd clutch from this female this season. Out of the 13, I think that I have 2 or 3 duds, but it seems like it is too early to be sure. the one by itself seems tiny compared to the rest, and there are 2 others that are...

I woke up this morning and looked through the viewing window in my incubator and I found something really strange. The eggs look fine, but there is a piece of what appears to be organic matter between two of the eggs. It may be a little bit hard to see in the picture, but it appears to have the...

Hey Guys, It seems as if my female Leucistic Texas Rat Snake is going to double clutch this year. WOW!! For a first breeding season, I am thrilled. I was unprepared for the first clutch, and out of 12 eggs, only 7 are still viable. They are on day 43 right now. I am really excited because she...

Pittsburgh schools: Biology class snake wasn't used as jump rope, was just swung around By Associated Press 7:45 PM EDT, May 20, 2009 PITTSBURGH (AP) — A spokeswoman for Pittsburgh Public Schools says a high school student swung around a snake from a biology class but didn't use it as a jump...

Hey guys- I think that the humidity in my incubator is too high. One of the eggs in particular seems to be bloated. It has some marks on the shell as if it is stretching. I need to lower the humidity quick! What do I do? Please help my eggs! Rich

Just curious. I am a few weeks out from the hatch date, and I already have a reputable pet store that told me they want to buy the babies. That said, can I keep the babies in a container all together, or do I have to separate them? Also, can I just bring them in as soon as they are born, or do I...

Well, I have had my male and female Leucistic Texas Rat Snakes separated since she dropped eggs 2 weeks ago. I had her checked out by the herp vet, and he says she is in perfect shape. I put her back into her tank this afternoon, and before I knew it, my male was hooked up with her for a good 30...

Hey Everyone, My girl dropped 12 eggs last week. They are all in the incubator and out of the 12, seven look pretty good. The other 5; however, have developed a green and black coloration to portions of them. I would say that the worst two are about 50% discolored. They all started off white...

Hi Guys, My female laid her clutch of eggs last weekend. She is a large and heavy rat snake. Her clutch was 12 eggs, and I think four went south because I was away when she laid the eggs. Anyway, I have fed my girl 3 rat pups since last weekend. She anxiously gulped them down, but I did not...

Hey Guys- My wife and I have been away for a week. My father in law has been caring for my snakes. He was last here 2 nights ago and he changed the water. The snakes were fine. My wife and I returned home this evening to find that my female laid 12 eggs! At most, they were unattended for 48...

Hello All... this is my second year trying to breed now, and I seem to have no luck. Last year, I didn;t go about it right, and I witnessed no hook ups after several attempts. This year, I had the two snakes separated for about 6 weeks until my female shed. Once she shed, I introduced the male...
