    Girl is eggbound - Please describe the probe method!

    Our girl laid 11 little eggs which we found last night. They could have been laid up to 24 hours before we found them. She has 2-3 more still inside, very close to the vent. We've tried a lukewarm bath and massage, but no luck. She has been refusing food for 3-4 weeks and is getting weak and...

    Need help identifying a wild-caught colubrid (4 pics)

    I've got a little guy I need help ID-ing, but I wasn't sure what forum to post him on. I put it in general chit chat and had second thoughts that maybe it should be here... So if you field-herpin' fellas wouldn't mind checking him out and sharing your opinion, I'd appreciate it :)...

    Need help identifying a wild-caught colubrid (4 pics))

    Hey all, it's probably been a year or two since I've posted, so hello again! My grandma called me yesterday about a snake she had found on the porch at her southwest MO farm. We went up there to check him out (and rescue him from his new fruit jar enclosure). I'm trying to ID the little guy...

    No electricity- emergency fixes?

    I know a lot of you are in Florida and Texas, but here in the Midwest, winter is rearing its ugly head. I live in town, so if power goes out it's usually not for long- but the storm that's coming this week is supposed to be a biggie. So what do you do for heat if you are without power? I'll...

    Hey, science nerds!

    A bit of intro to the question: there was a study in the 30s with rats where 100 were stroked for 5 min. a day from the time they were newborns. 100 other rats were the control and lived regular cage lives. Then science took out all of their thyroid glands After the 1st week, 13 untouched rats...

    (Mainly) To the boa people...

    A question for curiosity's sake (Mostly directed to BCC owners, but I'd value anyone's input!): Does anyone notice a difference in cage aggressiveness between snakes kept in top-opening and front-opening enclosures? From the standpoint of common sense, it seems the giant humanoid coming in...

    Summer=time for art :D

    I finished this little guy last night. I've never done a snake sculpture before...but I like how it turned out. It's polymer clay (sculpey) painted with acrylics. This little amel has a "V" marking on his tail just like his inspiration. I know it's too short proportionally, but I didn't want to...

    Will she be ok? :(

    I just gave my corn a bath in the sink. I think she got some water in her nose. she kept making a sound like blowing air out her nose. Is there anything I can do to help get it out? And the reason I was washing her in the first place is because she pooped in her hide. she's never done that...

    hatchling rack idea...will it work?

    So hubby and I are looking to rig up something cost & space effective for about a clutch worth of hatchlings. It also has to be 99.999% escape proof for the sake of the other people in our apt building. :) We were at Michael's last night (craft and hobby store, fyi) and found something...

    Any experience with/opinions on HOVABATORS?

    I was hoping to start breeding this season, but the male is a little small and seems more intimidated than frisky so it might have to wait. But I would like to be prepared ahead of time and have all the info I need. From what I've seen, the main advantage of a homemade incubator over a...

    Eternal curses upon the faulty freezer!

    long story short, a ton of mice were in the freezer when said freezer decided to be hateful and shut off. Mice are now thawed. They are refridgerator temp, not ever room temp and are now refreezing. I'd toss them if it was a couple but it was more like a couple hundred. Can these be fed as long...

    Converted bookshelf with plexi doors

    Here is the "snake shelf," courtesy of my crafty hubby. We used a wally world bookshelf ($19) some silicone plexi flexwatt a light dimmer for temp control hinges and latches from the hardware store pegboard (to replace the flimsy back and allow ventilation) screws and whatnot. Here's the...

    Hello all!

    Hello! My name is Kels and I wandered in here quite a while back and just recently bothered to make an account. A bit about me: I'm a student, I'm sorta bilingual (if that is possible), I'm married, I'm artsy, there's a tuba in my hallway, blah blah... And the important part: This was our...
