    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

RIP, Prism :(

I'm sure I will - I already have a Guyana Red-Tail Boa. She's an absolute sweetheart - her name is Youkai.

When I pick her up, she'll reach out and bump noses with me, then lick. It's the CUTEST thing in the world!! I LOVE that snake.

I also have 2 Ball Pythons, 7 Leopard Geckos (4 are for sale), 1 Giant Green Iguana, and my most recent acquisition - a Red Eyed Tree Frog.
 
That is awesome! IT sounds like you really care about the animals and that is the most important thing! I currently have 10 balls (including 6 babies), a sinaloan milk snake, brazilian rainbow boa, hog island boa, mali uromastyx lizard and a dumpy tree frog. I actually need to scale down a bit and get rid of the frog and the milksnake. I am trying to just focus on balls and hog island boas.
 
That's so cool! The 4 female Leopard Geckos I am selling are breeding stock, but since I had such a hard time selling the hatchlings, I've decided to stop breeding them, so I am going to make room for a Fire Skink - I intend to use the cage that my female geckos are in - I am keeping 1 female and 2 males - it's a Vision model 211.

My Red-Tailed Boa, Youkai is in a Vision model 422 - HUGE cage. Prism's old cage is the same model, stacked under Youkai's. Faye and Jet both have their own Vision model 221. The three geckos I am keeping (Chibi - female, Lexx and Gex - Male) each have their own Vision model #111.

Caicos - my Iguana, has an ENORMOUS cage. I got it for $500.00 from a friend who had it built for her water dragon by a professional cabinet maker. The water dragon escaped after they temporarily moved in with her MIL, and they never found it. For a while it was hanging around the bushes outside her MIL's house, and her MIL hated it, so she cut all the bushes back. The poor thing is long gone now, especially after the harsh winter we had last year. :(

This cage is very nice though - 6 1/2 feet tall, 5 feet long, and 2 1/2 feet deep... GORGEOUS. I also set up a stand for her and lined it with astroturf... she has quite the setup. She's also litter pan trained - so I have a pan set up with about 2 inches of water - she crawls down, goes, and crawls back out. All I have to do is flush it. Makes cleanup really easy.
 
Those sound like great homes for your little ones! Awesome!

What would be wrong with the rat to cause the snake to die?

My experience was with a mouse. I bought a bunch at a local feed store. When I arrived home I started feeding the adult mice first as I normally do than move to the smaller mice. It was when I was at the hoppers and fuzzies I noticed something very bad. All of them were purple!!! I had to buy live for the moment because I was out of frozens. It was late and the store was closed for the day, so I put the hoppers and fuzzies with mother mice. The next morning they were all dead except the mother mice. I went back to the store, they apologized profusely and returned my money.

The next day my Het for Snow male had regurged, I had a feeling this was going to be bad. By the next morning he was dead. His brother started regurging also. I immediately had him treated, which he is doing fine now, but his growth has been stunted a bit. I now breed my mice and rats because of this incident. The store has also switched their supplier, they informed me that this was becoming common. The mice they sell now are HUGE and much healthier, and they do not have only white mice. So I know they were not lying to me. They also said their previous supplier was getting out of the business, I am thinking he was poisoning the mice, but that is just what I think. Sorry for the long post, but that was my experience.
 
Wow..Scary stuff...I am going to order from Rodent Pro ASAP. Since I ran out, I have been getting frozens from a local store and who is to say that those are safe.
