Sunny had her pre lay shed 10 days ago and then immediately dropped a slug in the middle of her Viv along with a pile of poop!! If she hadn't laid that slug i wouldn't be worried but she did so i am. How long before i really need to start worrying? Do i discount the slug and carry on as normal...

My amel sunny is cruising around her Viv looking for somewhere other than the lay box to have her eggs. Its only been 7 days since her shed, last year she went 2 weeks but this year she laid a slug straight after her shed. I hope she's not going to slug out but the odds aren't looking good. I...

So my first clutch has been laid. Not a very good ratio, only 7/8 good out of 19. Salem is doing great though which is the main thing. She weighs 420g after lay so its all good. fingers crossed that they all hatch!! I hate the thought of throwing away eggs that might be good so i put them all in...

My angel golden retriever 'Tori' chose the wee hours of April fools day to give birth to her 9 puppies. They are the most gorgeous bundles of fluff ever!! I just had to share.....

I am a member of another reptile forum in the uk. On saturday someone posted about his corn who had laid 2 eggs the previous day and he was worried cause she hadn't laid the rest. I said to him she probably just needed more time and not to worry til Monday, then gave a few examples i had seen on...

Usually we don't bother with gifts or cards but this year hubby got me something... A nice shiny infra red heat sensor gun!!! Much better than flowers!!!

So i was wondering about this... I have seen lots of snakes for sale recently on various forums/websites saying things like ' fresh out of brumation, ready to breed' etc. I'm wondering how something like that fits in with the standard 3 month quarantine most people do. Do you shorten your...

Here she is:cool: She's a 2009 Diffused Caramel ph amel. Originaly bred by Walter Scott. Isn't she gorgeous?! She'll make a great partner for my Butter male who is ph diffused.

Today is payday so i paid for my new snake! I then contacted the courier to be told that they cant pick up/deliver my snake till 4th feb. �� My husband comes in and sees me looking depressed, i tell him the problem (not really a problem, but i want her now!). Don't worry he says...

What's the youngest male you've successfully used to breed? My amel female shed a week or so ago. I have a young male butter, he's around 18 months, weighs around 150g. I put him in a spare viv with her for an hour but no hook ups. I have put them together every couple of days but no luck yet. I...

Ta Da!! My husbands year old carpet python got slightly confused and latched onto my arm instead of going into the tub for the rat!! She just bit down had a quick chew and spat me out! Didn't hurt at all! The in-laws were here at the time, 'you'd better disinfect that' the mother-in-law said...

So i was idly browsing the available section of a breeder here in the uk. I have someone interested in my adult snow who doesn't really fit in with my plans anymore, so i will have space soon. I was thinking, 'a nice adult caramel female with het diffusion would be perfect'. What do i see third...

I was wondering if a het caramel would make any visible change to an amel. Just trying to work out my pairs for nxt year. My amel girl has no known hets but her sides look kinda caramelish to me. I have a butter boy I can try out on her, but I really wanted to know if there was any visible het...

So I'm not going to brumate my snakes. My question is, how do you know when your female is ready? This year was a bit of luck I think, my boy was constantly cruising his tank so we put him in with sunny and hey presto. That was in April, is that around about the right time? I was wondering if...

Picked up this little guy from Kempton Park expo. As well as his genetics, the amount of diffusion on him really made it impossible to not buy him!! So here are his credentials! Diffused het anery, pied, amel/ultra ph hypo charcoal and caramel. He just weighed in at 19g, and is a great feeder...

So the other half has been busy building again! This time it was for his carpet python, and i think he's done quite a good job!(don't tell him i said that!). He has made it all from scratch including the background, enjoy!!

This is Willis, he's a 2 year old sinoloan milk snake!! He's so much more active than the corns!! Out cruising all of the time when he's not digesting. Nice temperament too!!

I got a yearling diamond jungle jag about a month ago. I'm assuming that she has had very little handling due to her rather aggressive nature!! At the minute we have to use a hook to get her out of the viv and wear gloves. She shies away from any body heat and is very nervous. She has been...

Got home from work at lunch time and thought, just a peek! So looked in my new platinum baby viv and nothing! Took everything out but no Celine. Evidently she managed to squeeze out of the new vents. Ripped the room apart and found her wedged between laptop bags across the other side of the...

So just got back from our first reptile show!! Talk about crowded, here was i thinking we could spend a couple of hours leisurely browzing around looking at all of the animals!! No, just a hot and sweaty elbow bumping experience!! Never the less, saw some excellent snakes and came home having...
