    Lots of problems, Finally ate, What next?

    Igneous last ate on March 30th and weighed 700 grams. When he stopped eating he was very very active and we assumed it was a breeding season thing. Iggy seemed fine. About a month ago he started showing signs of shed (loose scales, very dull belly) but never went blue. We were thinking that...

    Won't Eat, Very Active, Breeding season?

    Hi folks, Igneous has been a GREAT eater since we got him. But recently he's been a bit... Odd. He's on a Jumbo mouse (30+ gram) every 10 days, but has refused the last two feedings. Just straight ignores it. He's also been REALLY active. As in he's running around his tank nearly...

    Igneous' first shed! (with us...)

    Igneous finished his first shed perfectly. One big piece and it took him less than 10 minutes from start to finish. And of course immediately afterwards he was like "I'm done! Where's my food?!" Sometimes we forget that he's a big guy. Then we pulled out his skin and he reminds us he's 4'...

    Regurge right before shed

    Hi folks, Igneous has been a great eater and a great snake since we picked him up 6 weeks ago. Last Sunday we fed him a single large mouse for his usual dinner and he ate it no problem. Unfortunately we didn't notice that his belly had started to pale and there was a slight hazing to his...

    First Timer

    Hi folks, I've never kept a snake before. After a meet and greet with an 18' Retic a few months ago, I started getting an interest in snakes. The girlfriend, who's raised a couple of red tails before, was ecstatic and we made plans to pick up a boa together. While up in Phoenix for...
