This may be a stupid question, but it came up and I haven't found the answer yet. How do you kill a pinky or fuzzy rat to feed F/K? It occurred to me that it would be alot easier to just fresh kill a fuzzy for my little boa from a current litter that's the right size than to defrost one since...

Since we're now up to 5 boas, we thought it was time to start breeding our own rats. We've had the 1.2 group for about a month now. The girls have been wiggling their ears and he's been chasing after them. This has been going on abt every 5 days since we've had them, no sign of bulging bellies...

We got our two newest additions in the mail today. A half hour past the guaranteed arrival time as usual. I don't know why I still wait by the door at 7am. Anyway, on to the new snabies. A Possible Super Ghost het Albino female boa. (who apparently didn't want to sit still to get a decent...

And nearly everybody ate yesterday. Only got to weigh two corns. Nixie 2011- 41 grams Blaze 2010- 123 grams And my boas just for fun Roxy 2011 Colombian- 418 grams (that's almost a pound. YAY!) Donut 2011 Hog Island- 247 grams Namira 2011 Hog Island- 173 grams (she's an oddly picky...

The way our schedule works, Tuesday is our lazy day. We get up late, I make a nice breakfast (bacon, eggs and hashbrowns today) then head to the livingroom for a second cup of coffee and chatting with my hubby. Well today, we walk into the livingroom but something is wrong. The screen lid of a...

I've been noticing that Nixie, my blue motley, seems to get more colorful with every shed. Her head is blue, the rest of the front half of her is pretty pink, and her back half fades from purple to blue at the tip. I'm just wondering if this is normal. Pictures of blue motleys that i've seen...

So, we just started raising meat rabbits and our first litter kindled yesterday. Today we took them out and weighed them so I figured I'd take some pics. We have 6 healthy kits, 2 blue, 4 white. and if I sexed them correctly, a good spread on gender They are American Blues and Whites, a...

So today was tub cleaning day and as usual when I opened up Nova's tub her tail started going like crazy and the smell of stale tobacco wafted up towards me. There are no smokers in the house and it always seems to dissipate after a few minutes of holding her. Is she musking? I can't think of...

"Oooooh, curly" - Donut Teaching my Hog Island Male to stay on my shoulders just got alot easier. He discovered he likes my hair. Thought I'd share the cuteness.

So my hatchling Nixie has been out of blue for 6 days now. No shed, I've scoured the tank pretty completely everyday for the past 4 days. I've also been following Nanci's advice from the sticky with the tub/washcloth/lukewarm water routine, I've been doing it for 30 min a day for the past 4...

As I write this Roxy is asleep in my Hubby's hands. It's so cute it reminded me I wanted to share some pictures of my new baby. She's a baby pastel red tail boa, and we picked her up at the sacramento reptile show this weekend. Exploring her new terrarium. Snuggling up in her new...

My 3 month old has now not eaten in 10 days. He fed 5 days after he arrived, grabbed the pinky out of the chop sticks, tried to eat it from the middle but figured it out and gobbled it down without a problem. But he has refused the next two feedings. the second time i tried splitting the back...

the reading I've done conflict regarding the age limit for popping. one said you could do it on babies and adolescents, the other said it should never be done on a snake over two weeks. those are vastly different answers. I assume the two weeks answer is a bit conservative, but how conservative...

Had the first feeding for my 3 hatchlings (not sure if thats still the right word, they're under 3 months old) and the second feeding for my yearling. Managed to feed 1 fuzzy and 4 pinkies to 4 snakes without a problem. they all gently took the mice when offered, and no one regurgitated. it went...

Hello, My husband and I got our first corn abt. 2 weeks ago, an Amel male yearling we've named Blaze. We got him from Ron's Reptiles here in Chico. It didn't take a week before we were hooked. Since then our snake family has expanded to include 3 hatchlings: a Fire het Charcoal male named Bast...
