Hey all, I am finally satisfied that my domain is now mite-free, and celebrated by getting this little one. It's quarantined for now, but I still don't know what it is! Anyway, I personally go for the 'I don't know but it's gorgeous' option :) And a ravenous eater; never mind mooses, this thing...

Snakes on a balcony Here's Tequila the sunlog and Astro the anery motley enjoying the typhoon-y madness of Taiwan. Shots taken on my balcony :) I like the 'peekaboo' shot of Tequila hanging under my arm the best.

I euthanised my striped snow, Rose, this morning. I noticed she had mites last week. I swiftly quarantined her, then checked the boards. Another poster, Plissken I believe, had just been given a bunch of advice to deal with his mite problem so I continued to lurk and stole said advice. I...

*Jumps around joyfully, scaring roomates in the process.* Wonder of wonders, all my snakes ate today. :) This has NEVER happened before, there's always been one refuser in the mix. Tonight, series of unheard of events occurred: 1) Striped snow who has refused 3/4 meals and who only ever ate...

I had a disastrous photo session with all the snakes today, if you saw my thread on the corns you'd understand what I mean! My 2 non-corns however came out of it quite well, so here they are: Spyre the Brazillian Rainbow Boa and Kira the albino Burmese Python.

I've got some update pics of my corns, minus the snow stripe as I couldn't get a good shot of her! I must be the worst photographer in the world, but believe it or not the following were the best sifted from a gazillion attempts :) Here we have Diva the amel, Tequila the amel mot (sunglow) and...

Here's Diva doing what she does best! She does the same routine every time I feed her; constricts her f/t pinky until the thing looks ready to pop, then just keeps hold of it for a while as she takes a look around. Maybe 20 mins later she'll remember what she's hanging on to and actually eat it...

I would like to create a thread that once-and-for-all (yes I know, I'm a hopeless idealist) deals with both sides of this issue, and can then be a link for all. Please contribute any relevant links and threads to this post, whichever side of the line you fall on. Cheers, Lina P.S. I am quite...

Just a few shots of my rescued little one: it was either me or being a prop for the strip-club girls............

So last night I saw the freakiest thing and I'm wondering if any of you lot could shed some light on it. I was hanging out at my friend's pet store (it's on a night market, lots of fun people watching) and he'd just picked up a shipment from the airport, including one baby snow corn. There it...

Hello all, I am back from the abyss! Real world stuff kept me away from my favourite forum but I have returned, mwahahahaaaa! That said, I have discovered another possibility to try with non-feeders. My tiny striped snow (psychotic little thing by the name of Rose), never wasted any time trying...

I now officially have the most flimsy excuse for justifying a new snake. Here was my line of reasoning. Must get spray-mister for my school's new iguana - oooh, spray misters are cheap, I'll get two - what can I use the spare one for? - hmmm, I wonder what snake requires high humidity - Rainbow...

I promised my roomates I wouldn't get any more snakes for a while, and I haven't! This is about as far from a snake as you can get. I am sooooo in love, a week ago I was the biggest wuss when it came to tarantulas but Copper is a big softy :) Newest addition to the menegerie and settling in very...

Hey all, just thought I'd post a pic or two of the very very serious damage a young corn snake can inflict. I know I should have gone straight to the E.R., but decided to tough it out and suffer in silence. :cool: For all those new owners who are too scared to pick up their snake when the...

So I'm thinking of re-naming my little striped snow 'Psycho'. Every time I get her out for a handling session or feeding attempt (refused her first feed but not too worried yet) she goes ram-rod straight and lashes from side to side in my hand, arching around occasionally to give me a good...
