For two years running my male ghost has stopped eating for up to two to three months. He's housed in the same room is a female amel, and last year they successfully bred. It appears to me that the male is so lust-ridden that eating goes off his radar. As the year progresses he will start to eat...

Here's a couple of my new acquisition Coal. I think he/she's an simple Anery, but the colours are very brown/taupe/bronze, so I wonder if it could be anything else. Your help would be appreciated. Her background colour is a pinky/grey.

I've mentioned before that Ruby will slink back to her viv after feeding. This time I managed to snap her on my phone. Also pic of her first ever defined constrict. She's made half-arsed attempts in the past but this time it was a total lunge and coil - brilliant! Regarding her return to the...

The current Mrs Ruraldean and offspring have set me up with a new viv, mat, thermostat, thermometer, hides and plants for my luvverly snake (also part of my advance birthday pressy). Every time I feed Rubes she immediately seeks her open viv and goes home. She appears to love it. Pics from my...

I've just moved Rubes up to what you Americans might call "regular fuzzies" at about 9 grammes; she's about 45 grammes. Having eaten her first (with great ease) she then went for a short roam about my desk. I feed her on paper towel next to her open viv, and after her "walk" she then turned back...

Thought I'd post a quickie showing Ruby's colour progression after just two sheds in my keeping. Now heading for a lovely deep orange. Mmmmmm.... (Photo taken using a Samsung Soul phone, so excuse the quality!)

This is just me being childishly exuberant. Ruby made her first strike yesterday after I teased her with a small fuzzy. Normally I place the mouse down and Rubes circles it and takes a gentle hold before swallowing. This time I held it in tweezers and jiggled it about 3-6" in front of her. She...

First photo of Rubes in the grass. Also the first of her face at last. Not a brilliant pic by the standards on here, but not bad.

I love this snake! Rubes had her first shed yesterday and wow! her salmon-pink saddles are now a deep red (almost dried blood colour) and in the first 5" or so she's developed an orange hue. Love her to bits, and can't wait to see more changes. Photos still make her look paler than she is...

Hi Okay, this is the set up so far, and your comments would be appreciated: Ruby appears to be about 8 moths old, measures just over 18" and weighs 20 grammes. She's temporarily housed in a 12" x 8" Geo, in aspen with a water bowl and small hide. Heat is provided over half the floor area by...

With no owner history to go on it's difficult for me to arrive at Ruby's age. She weighs 18 grms and is 18 inches long, and a very ropey photo can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/5bsw48. Her previous owner claims to have lost her for 4 weeks, so she was clearly not being fed for that time...

Do UK members have a view on which might be better? If a consensus is reached then where might be a good place to get something between 30" and 33" long? Rubes is going to need better housing soon. Many thanks. Paul

Hi. I made an introduction some time ago, but was a man without a snake. Now I am a man WITH a snake, courtesy of my lovely daughter who surprised me with him/her last night. :dancer: It's name is now Ruby or Rudy, depending upon information yet to be ascertained, but a beauty nevertheless...

Hi. I'm new here, and this is my second post, so almost on time! I confess to not yet having a snake of any description, despite my 52 years of longing. My wife has always been "resistant" until both my kids bought snakes recently (they've moved out) and she saw how "interesting" they were...
