My teeny rosy boa has become a biting machine. Everytime I get him out he either snaps at me or outright bites me. The first time he bit me I thought it was because it was feeding time, but he has taken to doing it EVERY time. He spills his water all the time, so I am getting bitten a lot. Any...

I'm very excited to finally have the internet! It has been a loooooong week without it. I left Monday morning at 8 am from Columbus, OH and arrived at 9:15 pm in Sandy Ut on Tuesday. The seven snakes I brought with me were not too happy with me, their bins, or the variable temps. It was...

This just made me laugh so hard, and when he almost stuck his tail up my nose, I knew I had to get a picture. Sorry for how sloppy I look, I've just been lounging around all morning. I just took KaiKai out of his tub for a second to clean up the huge poop, and he climbed right up to my hair and...

So in June I will be moving across the country--it is a month away, but I've already started working on packing and planning. I am bringing ALL my snakes, since they can come in my car. However, as much as I love my angelfish--and that is a lot--I'm worried that they would die in transit because...

I'm not really much of a one for controversial topics, but I've spent a couple years working in a library and so can get quite hot under the collar about the topic of censorship. Just this past week in two job interviews I was asked about how I would help people who want info relating to...

The good news is that I just was offered a new job--YAY!! A librarian job in the same state where my family all lives, so I'll get to see my neices and siblings. The bad news is that I have to pack up and move across the country--from Ohio to Utah--a 1700 mile trip. This will be my second time...

So today has been kind of a crappy day. Lately, I've been worried about Circ, my creamsicle snake, and when I checked on him this morning he was SO limp and had a big lump under his chin (has always gone down after handling). I rushed him to the vet, who looked at him and said he was sure it was...

So three of my snakes shed over the past week, so I thought it was time for some pics. Unfortunatly they have decided they do not want to sit still or have their photos taken, they whipped me they squirmed, they tried to make a break for it. I thought my little girl was doing SO well sitting...

So this March, two of my favorite blogs are putting on an alternative to the March Madness NCAA tournements. It is a lot of fun, and there are prizes! You can check it out at http://dabwaha.com/ (warning there is a little swearing) In the contest books from different genres are matched up, and...

I have an odd question to ask about my cali king. She has a very shiny black/brown head, but the rest of her body is matte and hardly shiny at all, at least not to the same degree. Her skin is smooth and clear all over, so it doesn't feel like she hasn't shed or anything, but it seems strange to...

So I bought a little king snake on Saturday, she was listed as a Striped Chocolate King. I'd planned on buying a MBK, but fell in love with her instead. Since it was an impulse buy I didn't do the research I should have, now I'm struggling to catch up. I'm pretty sure she is just a pretty solid...

So I fell in love with rosys when I was considering buying one a while back, I've been reading up on different localities and their needs. So when I found some Mexican Rosys at the show today, I decided to go for it. I'm a little concerned because the breeder said they've been eating live, but...

So even though I contracted a terrible cold, I dragged myself to the reptile show so I could get mice for my snakes! Once I got there, I decided I needed a reward for getting there even though I'm sick, so I found a little chocolate to take home with me. She is a little chocolate king with a...

As some of y'all might know, Gene (DaGiant) recently had surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery and a quick return to CS, and all of his friends in chat! KaiKai sends a get well soon greating!

The sun came out again, and I brought the rest of my snakes out for a little photo shoot. They responded with lots of tounge flicking, and some good poses. My little Pastel Mot Ghost (spots) hates like crazy to be held and to have his photo taken. I actually got him to stay still for a good...

So today the sun came out a little, and I decided to try to snap some shots of some snakes--poor pants hasn't had his pic taken since October, so I shot some new pics. He is just at 100g this past feeding--he's my first baby, and is on hoppers. His color has changed SO much since I got him--here...

Ok, today I got circ out--he'd just finished digesting and I saw something on his side. It looks pretty bad in person--like there is blood around/under his scales, and when he bends the spot looks like a dent. He's been in his viv since Wednesday, and he was fine then. Anyone have any idea what...

So I took some pics of the Spots, and he is super squirmy. He is in his new skin, but not happy at ALL! But I got a few good shots--they really show his two colors! This last one really shows the two colors:

Ok, I saw a Rosy Boa listed on craigslist, they want 75$ for just the snake, it is an adult but it seems kind of high for a rehoming fee. Plus I'm somewhat concerned about some things I see in the picture. I was wondering if anyone else sees major things to be concerned with about the snake in...

Ok, I put off moving my snakes to my rack until I got back from vacation so I could watch them. And now it is driving my to swearing and tears. I really don't understand what it is doing! I have an animal plastics 66qt rack with the heat cord, and I have a rancho single probe thermostat. I...
