Technically, I haven't got any new snakes since I left! But seeing as how when I stopped posting they were all wee little ones I figure it's worth showing them off now. Sasha, my first! Charlie, my big boy. And Adrian, he's hard to take pictures of so I don't have any good full body shots.

So... I'm pretty upset about this. I pulled out my amel Charlie to feed him and he made a high pitched wheeze. I froze. I thought to myself, ok, could be a fluke. Just keep an eye on him. Queue him wheezing every time he breaths in or out. And doing a half hearted sneeze. It sounds like a...

This... this guy. I just stumbled on this. It's two years old but WHAT THE HECK?! People like this make me so mad. He's just showing off, ignoring all the warning signs, and trying to look cool. NOT COOL YOU IDIOT. He's taking an obviously upset animal, stringing it around his neck like some...

Mostly garters, but I found two Dekay's Brown snakes! I WAS SO EXCITED AAAAAAH Found this little guy earlier in the year. And the Dekay's.

We're moving into a new house and the entire backyard was absolutely wild, full of tons of inverts. I had a blast just rummaging around. Found a crud ton of grasshoppers, worms, isopods, spiders, and a million other things I could not ID for the life of me. Here are the pictures! There where...

Just thought this thread would be fun, there is a thread like this on another forum I frequent and I thought this place needed one too. Don't use any names or actual business titles just to keep things sort of private. I know as a pet store employee people often come in and say the stupidest...

Ok im makig this quick because im on my phone. I am facing a moral dilema. I work at a pet store and there is a ball python that has been there for about a year. He has now, and has had, a severe respiratory infection. He has had mites also. He JUST started eating again after a nine month fast...

Haven't been on in a while, so I figure I'll start off by showing you guys what happened! We recently got some new snakes in at work. I held this guy/gal for a bit and was pleased with their docility. So the next day my boyfriend comes over to visit me while I was working. I pull out the king...

I love the look of natural habitats, and I figure a fully planted vivarium would look so nice! I know there are plants (like pothos) that do well in vivs, but I'd like to do something even more natural. I'd like to do plants native to corn snakes natural habitat, making a biotope. I was...

Ok, so, I have a question about ball pythons and I don't feel like joining a ball python forum to find the answer lol. From what I've read, in the wild, ball pythons will inhabit burrows made by other animals. If this is true, wouldn't they benefit from a pre-made burrow in their enclosure?

Sort of. :P I figured these were the best I could do. Also, I am dressed as Ellen Page in the movie Juno. (and for the first time in my life I went trick-or-treating!!) I had a balloon under my shirt. XD Just for good measure, a few more of the tarantula. She needs a name! Anyone have...

Is it just me, or are most large snakes kept in captivity totally overweight? Every burm, retic, etc. in captivity I see is always full of fat rolls and looks way too thick. Could this be because people keep them in enclosures that don't allow them any space to exercise? I think a lot of...

I could not help myself when I saw this little guy. I know people say they're dangerous but this one is puppy tame! The breeder said he was a Candy Rattler or Crotalus dulcis Very rare! Here he is. He will be used for breeding purposes when he gets large enough, I think he'll max out at 15 feet...

So I went outside with my boyfriend the other day, just flipping over rocks to see what we could find. There are TONS of red backed salamanders around here. Tons. So we were flipping over rocks and finding like 5 salamanders under every rock... then I saw this guy... OHMYGODITSSOTINY! I DIED...

Backstory: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97045 Soooo my eastern painted (Yurdle) has moved into a good 75gal filled with about 60-65 gallons of water with a 70gal canister filter. I keep his water clean and feed him Omega One turtle sticks, assorted veggies like romaine...

Just wondering if my snakes are a good weight/size. I know that every snake grows at a different rate, but if someone had followed the munson plan for a snake whole life and the snake was as old as mine, would they be the same weight? I never knew the weights of my snakes until just now, so I...

I know, I know, I get way too excited about this kind of stuff. lol Feel free to share your stories about being bitten too! I was cleaning cages in the morning at work, and decided to wipe down all the glass to make everything look nice. I ignored all of her warning signs (tongue flicking...

YESSS!! I have been waiting FOREVER to be bit by a snake. But all of mine are just too nice to do it! XD So I was feeding the snakes at work today, put a year old ball python in it's feeding container (a cardboard box) and let it eat. Well, when I felt it had enough time to eat/swallow/chill for...

I cheated and traced a photo of myself BUT I MADE ME A ZOMBIE!

I've always wondered... what are the affects of inbreeding in corn snakes, or snakes in general, if any? I have been told that in fish breeding (bettas, specifically) that inbreeding does not have any negative affects, unlike the ones seen in mammals. But what about snakes? Or reptiles in...
