My dad had this idea and I've definitely never heard of anything like this bring used for herps. I wanted to run it by everyone and see what everyone thought. :) So, his concept is to fill some small container, say a 5 gallon aquarium, with a mixture of water and antifreeze, put an aquarium...

I'm afraid I have no pictures for this thread due to the lack of a computer capable of posting photos on here. For photos, email me at [email protected]. I got this guy off a very upset and surprised friend... It's one of those "how does someone do that" cases. He and a large female turned up...

Week, my boa just tagged me pretty good. I was just handling him and he seemed fine, but then he decided to strike. Let go pretty quick, but drew blood. He's been... off since I had to give him antibiotic shots during mite treatment. It's entirely possible that he only seemed sweet because he...

Got this baby from a local pet store, and I believe she's a girl. :) She's super calm and sweet, which blows me away considering how tiny she is! Current guesses for her morph are Ghost, Ultramel Anery, and Lavender. Any other guesses? =D I'll be using this thread for her progression. ^^

So! I just returned from the local (reputable) pet store where I had a look at their corns. I was able to correct two mislabeled Ghost Motleys to the their actual morph (Ghost Stripes), as well as identifying a Butter that was mislabeled as a Caramel, but there were several there that I can't...

So, yesterday, I took Saga to the vet for a checkup. The vet is Dr. Adolf Maas, one of the eight AVMA-certified specialistists in the world... His private practice just happens to be about twenty minutes away, all specialized for exotic animals. I took her in to get a profesional opinion of her...

I know it's late, but I was just getting to bed and checked Saga's temps like I always do every time I enter my room before turning out the light to go to bed.... The temp was 107.9 degrees F AND THE UTH WAS STILL ON. I have this thermostat. I bought it new and have had it since roughly mid...

Saga shed last Wednesday and has finished her meal, so now we get the official yearling photos! This was also my second-ever attempt at photographing her with my awesome new Nikon, so they're not perfect... but meh. XD Commentary on the photography is as welcome as comments on my little...

I'm working on planning a few layouts for some vivs, and one of them would look really nice with this. Thing is, I'm not sure if it would work for a corn? The humidity here in Washington is HIIIIGH. I've never seen it dip under 65%, and it's usually much higher, like 75%-85%. Saga never soaks...

Saga officially became a yearling on the 22nd, but, unfortunately, she was in shed at the time. Since she picked a bad time to go into blue (day before feeding day!) and then proceeded to take an abnormally long time to finally shed, she got a fuzzy right away and she's still digesting, so no...

Posted this on Husbandry and Basic Care, then realized that maybe it should be over here. :P

My brother's something of a digital electronics engineer in training. Next year, he's taking a class where he gets to pick his project and work on it all year long. Since I'm the "idea girl" of the house and have good attention to detail, he came to me for help coming up with an original idea...

Saga has always had great sheds up until now... She would go into hiding when she went into blue, then, two weeks later, she'd shed and be as good as new, within 1-3 days of going clear. This time, however, she was in hiding for half a week longer than usual and had been clear for five days...

So, the Munson Plan says: I have bolded the two lines that are important here. I only have two and a half feedings left of food, so I weighed Saga in preparation for ordering more food. She came in at 41g. Layne Labs' large fuzzies weigh in at 5.1-7.5g; their hoppers are 7.6-9.9g. The...

And it can happen before you're even thinking of getting credit! I applied for my first credit card about a week ago. Yesterday, I got a denial letter explaining that they couldn't verify my SSN or "alternate identification number" from the application against what the credit beurue has on...

I thought I had done my research before I bought my snakey, but I guess there was a gap in my education.... My lovely little snakey Saga has been a good, aggressive eater since her first meal, if I remember what Heather (nwheather here) told me correctly. Her iHerp page shows that she refused...

I was reading the thread about someone's jumping snake, and someone jokingly suggested to give the snake a helmet and a parachute. That comment got my photoshop itch going, resulting in this. Not my best work, but fun, none the less.... XD

So, I work for Walmart. Yesterday, I arrived early for work, so I went and had a look at our pets department. I was surprised to find that we don't stock ANYTHING that could be used for reptiles--no food/water dishes, no heating, only fish decor, not even suitable bedding. Everything we have for...

VIFUaUoIw5c Sure, he says "Indian", but I think it applies to all snake lovers, doesn't it? :) Happy Halloween, everyone!

Just got little Saga home. She made a beeline for the first hide she saw once in her viv, and she hasn't come out or burrowed since then, so I figure she's adjusting alright. I check on her when I get up and just before I go to bed (you can just barely see her coiled up in there without a...
