Have an albino corn snake as a classroom pet(probably hatched around september/october, home for the summer). Right now I have him in a 20 gallon long tank with mesh lid, held down by tank clips from Petco. Everywhere online says they're pretty undependable, but when I try lifting up the lid with all of MY strength, I cant get it to budge a ( Read more... )

Update: Male western hognose will only eat toads... Efffff. *sigh* Well, I guess I'll just keep catching them when I see them, it's been sorta rare.. :/ One thing is sure- he was HUNGRY! He ate those things in a second. I tried rubbing pinks on the toads with no luck, soo... I'm pretty annoyed that this lady sold me an adult snake that won't take ( Read more... )

I was gone from Friday to Monday evening, got home and crashed, then gone all day today... checked on the snake when I got home tonight anddddd ( Read more... )

Some of you may remember my post about the adult male western hognose I bought from someone at Repticon, and it never eating for me. Some of you gave me some good suggestions, I've gotten other suggestions elsewhere. Nothing has worked. I'm at the end of my rope with this snake. I don't want it to die, but I don't know what I can do. Anyone know ( Read more... )

Apparently the key to the KSB eating is a live fuzzy, lights off and me gone to get her to eat. I do NOT like feeding live, and I don't intend to keep on doing it, but she hadn't eaten since christmas and refused all sorts of sizes and variations. I tried fresh killed and it didn't work- this was the last resort. I mentioned to a reptile guy my ( Read more... )

Hi everyone ( Read more... )

From my readings on the internet it seems that fire-belly toads are social frogs. I have a fire-belly toad that I have had since he was a tadpole. He is now big enough for tank mates so I upgraded him from a 5g to a 15g and got him two FBT tank-mates over the weekend (which are currently being quarantined ( Read more... )

So, when I was doing research into KSB's, one of the things that I saw repeated a lot is that I probably won't see her often and that they don't really like to climb so things like branches or hides aren't needed as much ( Read more... )

HOLY CRAP! I just found my albino Kenyan Sand Boa (Derpy) slithering along the floor of my bathroom as I stepped out of the shower. When you think your snake tank is locked- DOUBLE CHECK!! I was pretty darned sure the locking mechanism was in place.. But when I went to put him back in the tank, there was clearly a gap that shouldn't have been open ( Read more... )

So I'm fairly new to having a python and am using a basic glass tank set up. Snake is eating. But I want to not have a glass tank as I've done research and have discovered they are not really the best. My only problem is that I don't really know what size to get nor who sells the best enclosure. I've no idea were to get one from.... the snake is ( Read more... )
