Hello all. I have been thinking of getting a Solomon island ground boa, I really love the look of the heads and that they don't grow super big. Also that they seem to have a great temperament. But I have notice that the tree boas look a lot alike. At least they do a the very few dealers...

Hello all, I am new to king snakes, but have been raising snakes for many years, so I know this is a newbie question. Sorry. I just bought this beautiful baby girl this past weekend at a local reptile show in northeastern MD. It was sold to me as a Hypo brooks. What does the hypo mean in...

So at a recent reptile show I picked up a Jaguar Carpet python baby from a reputable dealer that gets great marks in the BOI. A little lethargic but typical of very young and slender snakes. I asked several questions about care, feeding, and adult coloration. Thought I was clear enough that I...

Was out doing a little fishing in a small reservoir when this little fellow popped up on a tree by me. I was so excited I dropped my pole in the water, but got it back and got the picture with my phone camera. :)

I just purchased my first of these today at Repticon Baltimore. I'm enamored. He's skittish at the moment but hope to post pictures later. Two questions I hope you all can help me with. Before I went looking for one of the rainbows, almost all the information I found led me to believe that...

I own a blue eyed lucy and absolutely love the solid color look. And have noticed that the darker morphs are less common in the market. I imagine it's that the brighter colors are more eye catching and make for better sales. My question is, is there any solid black or brown morph in the ball...

I ask because, the morphs are incredible, but as we know can be expensive. Since I don't want to get involved in breeding, just to have a few as pets, I can't justify on my budget spending the bigger bucks for some of the lookers. I think once or twice at a show I saw a ball marked pet only...

Let me preface this with this statement - Love this site - as soon as I am re-employed I will contribute! Wouldn't change anything! Thank you Rich!! But is it just me or are there getting to be more and more people posting that are of questionable ethics? I realize noone hear wants to be the...

Two days ago I moved my young cali king from a small tank with newspaper substrate to a larger one with cypress bedding. Almost immediately she began to burrow. It certainly surprised me. I guess I never realized how much she was missing out on. She never went under the newspaper. I'm...

For the sake of keeping my cost's down, I was wondering if anyone can direct me to plans for turning my old refrigerator into a functioning incubator for python eggs. I've heard this time of home made system do a very good job of maintaining proper humidity levels. Thanks for looking.

I am hoping in the next year or 2 to start a very small scale breeding project. I want my daughters to experience a breeding from the ground up. I hope to involve some of their friends as well. The plan would be to have anyone who wants to help/be involved in this will hopefully end up with...

Having tried to find a guide to breeding that isn't so basic that it doesn't actually say anything or too scientific that it's too hard for me to understand I have become lost. Please help me. I am interested in breeding my ball in the near future as a 1 or 2 time project so that I can use it...

I recently posted a similar request on the python forum and received some great direction. Since I haven't decided whether I would like to add another python or boa to my small collection I was hoping for some direction. I am interested in boas that remain below 6 feet. I have seen ground and...

I have been reading about the different dwarf retics and other pythons and there seems to be a large disparity in opinion of adult size. I would greatly appreciate any insight into which pythons stay below 6 feet? Also if you think they would make appropriate pets for a family with children...

Hello all. I was lucky enough to be able to attend the annual reptile show in Timonium, Maryland today and wanted to share a few photos of my new baby girl. I am really excited as I have been wanting a California King for several years now. My family and I have shared time with redtail boas...

I had the pleasure of attending the M.A.R.S. show in Timonium, MD this past weekend. As I have experienced in the past it was again well organized and had some really great vendors. I settled on a Children's python hatchling that has had 2 feedings of live pinks. The information the vendor...

Let me start off by saying sorry to see you leave Ron. I watch from the background a lot. But on to the new business ... my albino nelson's has refused any mouse at all, of any size. He has however taken a scented one. I am still working on changing him over, so these pictures are of his...

Hello all (sorry about the length) I have been reading this site and many of the forums plus the many other wonderful forums out there about similar breeds and difficult feeders. I recently purchased a nice albino Nelson's milk as a hatchling from the local Petco. Caught them at the right...

Damn lucky timing :beer: I've been practicing with my new camera and had to try. Didn't come out too badly. But I definitely needed to use the flash for more pictures.

I am trying to teach my 4yr old and 2 yr old daughters an appreciation for reptiles in general, but snakes specifically. I have been working on my better half for some time and finally picked up a Snow motley for my 4 yr old. Since 1 is never enough I have been checking the local stores for a...
