    Good and Bad of breeding these rats

    First off, I was able to get a pregnant female(kid at pet store didn't care), so 3 days after purchasing her for $3, I now have 12 pinkies! If I bought these at the pet store at $1.50 each, I would have spent a lot. I have learned a lot about rats in the process, as I love to do research. I...

    Wolmanized(treated) lumber

    I know that treated lumber can't be used to make a cage, but would it be a problem to use it as shelving for the cages? I have some 4' vision cages, as well as some aquariums I would like to used for display. I was initially going to go with the metal utility type shelves they sell at lowes...

    Random Thought-What is your snake limit?

    I am up to 30 animals and am starting to feel a little overwhelmed(I know a lot of you have much more than this). I love them all, but think I am going to trim down the collection. Between work, family, etc. I don't feel I have enough time to spend with them all. They all get cared for well...

    First Clutch, pics, questions

    Got 7 eggs from my suboc female. When I pulled the female out, she was a little wraped around the eggs and the whole stack turned upside down.(all stuck together) I know they shouldn't be turned, but immediately put them back to the side they were at and laid them in the medium. There are some...

    How do I know she is done laying?

    Woke up this morning and found my female suboc had laid. I see 6 good eggs so far. She is still wrapped around them. At what point should I remove the eggs? She laid in damp sphagnum moss in the lay box, so they should be moist. This is my first egg layer. I have bred boas previously and...

    Caught snake in action shedding
