I have long been wanting to add another species to our collection. And about a month ago I won a little babcocki at an auction for USARK. Well, I went to the NARBC show in Chicago last weekend, and bought three more. I am still working on perfecting their enclosure, but here is a quick shot...
I haven't been very active here at all lately, due to numerous reasons (mostly building a 2,000 sq. ft. building for the snake business), but also just trying to keep up with all of the baby snakes. As a result, I haven't made near the progress on my pen that I would have liked to in the past...
I have one more. Thalia dealbata. I have these growing (I planted them) in my goldfish pond, and every year when I clean my pond I trim my Thalia in half (they grow like crazy). I have taken the trimmings and thrown them by my bass pond. They grow nuts there too, and are tolerant to our...
Can anybody tell me if Mimosa Trees are toxic or safe for torts. I am thinking about planting one in my tort pen. Thanks in advance for your responses.
It's been a while since I made it over here. Snakes are hatching, and they are keeping me extremely busy. We have hatched over 400 snakes in the last 2 months. I did make it to Daytona this year, and picked up this new guy. This is Max, our new Columbian Clown Faced Redfoot. So far Max is...
I haven't been on in a while, because snake egg season is in full swing, and it is eating my time up. But, I still have to find time to take care of my four legged reptiles. I have done some more work to my pen since my last post, and I thought I would show some of the work here.
First up...
I didn't want to clutter up Charlie's thread, so here is my pic hugging my Aldabras. It was getting very abnormally cold for our part of the country, and I was moving the torts into the snake room for the evening. I figured it was a great time to have the wife catch a shot.
I hope you...
I know I don't come on often, but I did write about building a bigger pen for our Aldabras that I hoped would be ready by Spring. I have been working on it for 2 weekends now, and here are the progress photos.
The pen will be 16 feet x 16 feet. It will have 2 foot of chainlink fence...
A friend of mine and I started talking about getting some Aldabras on a trip home from a reptile show in December of last year. We decided to make some calls and get some. Well after almost 7 months, they finally got here. The Icelandic volcano caused 2 delays in shipping from the Seychelles...
I just posted a minute ago on another thread, and realized that I never came and introduced myself. My name is Tim Bailey, and I live in South Louisiana (near New Orleans). I have had numerous reptiles and other critters since I was a child including; snakes, iguanas, red ears, eastern box...
