For the very first time in all of my almost 25 years, I was bitten by a snake today! It was IRA, my usually sweet Okeetee boy. Funny thing is, I saw it all happening in slow motion and am pretty sure I could have avoided the strike. Maybe my subconcious mind was going, "Just get it over with, ya...

I went to my favorite herp shop today to pick up some snake dinners and got treated to something special! I'm so glad my fave shop is a 20 minute drive, as I would be there ALL the time and probably purchase half the inventory everytime I went in. Anyhow, I went and took my time looking at...

I happened to be browsing through a thread that mentioned a first aid kit. Even though I have one for my "regular" companion animals (dogs/cats) and one for my small mammals (chinchilla/now deceased pet mouse), I never thought to have one for my reptiles (snakes/beardie/turtles). Has anyone...

Sooo... I live in Houston, where heat and humidity rule the environment. I don't typically use UTH's during this part of the year as my house never drops below 75 at night and rarely goes past 85 during the day (good for my electricity bill AND my snakes...).

I've noticed in the last day or so the my normally shy and largely un-seen adult female Sunglow has been cruising her viv, shoving things around and braving the likes of me staring at her through the glass. This is very unlike her to be restless and visible to us humans. It occurred to me today...

I've posted a couple of times in some of the other areas, but I figured it could never hurt to officially introduce myself. Name: Amanda Age: 24 Location: NW Houston, TX Occupation: Vet Tech I've been lurking on this forum for a couple months. There is so much helpful information from so many...

I recently (meaning Friday, May 8th) purchased my first pair of fancy mice for breeding. I always check the 10Gal tank they're in at least once a day for food, water, etc. I checked on them early this morning and all was well. I just checked on them again about 15 minutes ago and the female was...

I just acquired a couple of corns (a 3-4 year old male Okeetee and a rougly 3 year old female Motley Sunglow) yesterday from a private collection. The male is quite tame and doesn't mind being held, even though he's getting close to shedding. The female, however, is quite agressive and will...
