My Brazilian Rainbow Boa, Jupiter, still won't eat. Whenever he sheds, he will stop eating, and I know that is sort of normal. But this time around, he quit eating even after his shed cycle was finished.
We bumped up the humidity in his cage to help with the shedding issues, and he still is...
I've been keeping the humidity up since I noticed his cloudy eyes, I mist every night and the temp is around 90. I found a long strip that was mostly complete along with a smaller stubby strip that covered the areas the first didn't. I thought he was done, but when we offered him food next, he...
Okay, a little while ago I got a snake. It's a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, and he's still pretty small. We've had him for probably for little under a month.
He started shedding last week, and he didn't eat. This week I offered some food, and he still didn't eat. He looked almost done, we found his...
Okay, so I was talking to my family and they all agreed it would be okay to get a snake as long as it was a smaller one. Nothing like an Anaconda (well, that's obvious;)) but realistically nothing like a
Columbian Boa or anything that gets over you know, like eight feet.
So that really...
It appears you've got some good advice already. But here is what I know:
Your substrate shouldn't be anything loose like sand, it is easy for them, especially young ones, to swallow some and block up there bowels and stuff, which leads to death. You should have two hides, one on your warm side...
Hi there! Yes, I am still around, things just have been busy and I haven't been able to log on and check stuff out. Anyways, when we went to the pet store to pick up crickets for my leopard gecko, Incognito early and when I was glancing at the other leopard geckos I saw this one with red eyes...
Okay. Gotta ask, any more info? I just want to know the basics. How big, how fussy they get with food, how aggressive they are, what is is the level of diffiulty to keep them, so on and so forth.
Also, just out of curiosity, what is a good price for them? I keep finding that they are the...
I have heard that for ball pythons that there are way too many morphs to list...
But I was wondering if someone would be willing to list a few with pictures and we can from that construct a list.
Thanks...Good Luck!:P
Okay, when we went in to get crickets for my gecko, Incognito, there weren't any at the usual place we go, so we went to the next one. There were only large there...and he eats small. So then, we got to the last petshop that we know of in town, and they have the right size.
While we were...
Love the woma pictures, Taylor!
Okay, I know this probably isn't in the top fifty beginner snakes list...well maybe in the last twenty or so...anyways:
I think the green tree boa is really pretty. (I hear it boa and python all the time, so I am not sure which, I think there is a species of...
Is this what you are talking about?
It didn't look quite like a python to me, but never hurts to ask. To me it looks like a blackheaded kingsnake. Again, newbie to world of snakes. (If I insult anyone because of my cluelessness [spelling?] I am sorry)
If it isn't a blackheaded python...
Okay, false alarm. I don't think he is shedding. I think it was just because of the bad lighting I had that I thought it was white and flaky, he was normal.
I let my imagination get to me. He can go into the moist hide whenever he wants, he just did it the first time today because his other...
This is embarrasing...I am a little lost in the conversation here. Not meaning to sound rude or anything, but when did blackheaded pythons come in?
That also sounds really neat if I could ever do it, not sure if I would or wouldn't though (so I am not making any promises). But it would...
Okay...Okay. I think my leopard gecko is going into his first shed. We have had him four months exactly, we adopted him on June 4th. He is still really young.
I think his first shed because he is acting really strange and is in his moist hide. By strange I mean he is really, really still, but...
Thank you so much everyone! I knew I could broaden my understanding and knowledge of snakes (and other herps) here. I will probably add to my family in a year or two, because of our current situation. If you haven't heard, my house burned down. Everybody got out safe, so on so forth.
I still...
As I have metioned previously, my newest interest is looking up random facts about snakes. I used to have a little Ball Python, but it died shortly after we got it, about three to six or months, it choaked on a mouse that was too big. I just love all animals and eventually I might want to add on...
Thanks. Typed the name up in the search box and even more pictures came up for it! Now I can gaze at it even more for however long I want! :D :P !
Now, what is the difficulty, size, encloser needs, rarity (such as how hard it is to find) and that sort of stuff. (If anybody knows, I will...
