Possibly stupid question...

So, I am getting a Kenyan Sand Boa. I should be getting the supplies on Thursday or Friday, and... not sure about the snake, but shortly afterwards (waiting on a) FinAid and b) word from my friend who works with the breeder I really like)

The breeder I really like has a few morphs, but none I'm particularly in love with so I was going to stick to ( Read more... )

Hi! My name is Kat :) I'm really new to this whole thing... so new, I actually don't have a herp yet D: I'm still looking into tanks and a good breeder to get one from (theres a few places nearby that I'm going to check first before going online, but I'm not averse to online either).
I'm a college student, and it's been a hard few weeks, and I know ( Read more... )

I went back to Petsmart today, to get Niklaus his weekly crickets, and ended up getting his ol' cage mate too. I am pretty sure that she is a she. I've named her Tatia, and she is settling into her new home, and she is a fat little bugger too. :)

Smooth Green Snake

Has anyone here had any success with Smooth Green Snakes (Liochlorophis [Opheodryas] vernalis)? I have a large female that was captured recently by someone and given to me. This is the species that got me hooked on snakes when I was two, and is only the third specimen I have seen in my 34+ years of working with snakes. I would prefer to release her ( Read more... )

As promised, here are some pictures of my first Crestie! His name is Niklaus and he is an absolute joy to have. I was a bit nervous at first, I've never owned a gecko, only snakes. He is settling into his new home well. As soon as have some spare cash, I plan on getting him a taller cage and some more climbing things. I weighed him on my scale a ( Read more... )

Hogs

To show the difference in my Western Hogs, the female is the larger, darker colored one, the new male is the lighter colored one. No, I still haven't gotten the male to feed =/ I don't know what's up. For those of you new to the situation, he's an adult, obviously he has fed (many times) before. I obtained him at Repticon a few weekends ago from a ( Read more... )
