Hey Guys, Picked this guy up yesterday, managed to take a few photos before i put him/her in a tub. Been looking for a Brooksi for ages! So here it is my new unsexed Brooksi King Snake. Sorry for the crappyness of the pics. Is it just me or do the markings on the head look abit like a...

Following pics are from a Crocodile Farm, Reptile Center and a Venomous Snake Handling Course. I've attached a couple of pics from the Croc farm (was pretty hairy taping them mouths!) One of an Olive Python we were handling in the Reptile Centre and one of a little Blue Tongue we found. Also a...

I haven't been able to post here in a while, thats because I've been travelling round South East Asia. Didn't see any snakes in Thailand or Peninsular Malaysia, but have had much better luck here in Sabah, Borneo. I'm no photographer, all of these pics are of snakes in the WILD!! and some...

Ok, so i have a question. Not just about corns, but reptiles/amphibians in general. Whilst i think i understand thermoregulation, "A cold blooded animal choosing its optimum body temperature based on its physiological requirements at the time" maybe???? There are some things about it i just...

Just had to share with you guys what i found out today on my mouse buying mission. First off, this is the first time i've had to go out and buy mice in a while, since i usually buy in bulk, so if this is old news to some, then i apologise ;) Well, the first three local shops i would usually...

Well i haven't put up any pictures of 'Beads' for ages now, so i thought i'd add some seen as he's just shed, although he's not the most co-operative subject ;) He's three years old (ish), 454 grams in weight and 46.1 inches/3.84ft in length

Austin Stevens!, I personally love the guy (in a very hetero way ;) )!!!!!!! I just read one of his books and he's lead a pretty crazy life! plus you can see he loves his reptiles, although one thing you could say is that he really p***'s some of them off! Just wondering what you all thought of...

this tickled me quite abit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Kyi0WNg40

I thought I'd add this thread so that i could share the enrichments i made for my snake (called 'beads' for anyone that hasnt met him before! :) ). Its really very simple and ive seen similar ideas before involving a toilet roll; all it is a box that ive threaded string through and pinned under...

hopefully these pictures wont turn out too small! i had to really shrink them. These are photos of beads, whos just finished shedding and enjoyed his mouse, i got a shot of him, just going into blue too.

Is it true that corns flatten/widen their heads if stressed/when acting aggressive? i've never heard about this before, has anyone got any pictures of this? Is it to make a predator believe they have venom glands or something? Also a more general question, but still pretty random hehe, can all...

What do you think of the pics on my new camera?

Well i just bought a platic tub to keep my corn (a yearling) in over the christmas holidays, as its a complete mission to get the vivarium home in the car. The tub is 34 centimetres in length, 28 in width and 17 centimetres in height. My question is how to ventilate, and control humidity in my...

I bought my corn from a petshop in the UK and they gave me my snakes entire eating/shedding record (as i bought it as a 3-4 month old hatchling). I was able to guestimate its age by its first pinky and knew when to expect his next shed. Another plus to this was i could see just how healthy the...

For my birthday this year my girlfriend kims present was a visit from my local herpetological society, check out some of their amazing animals! carpet pythons, blood pythons, common python, tarantulas, an owl, and moniter lizard
