Okay - Here's a little background on my snake keeping. 1. Started with a sunglow corn - thought it was boring. 2. Went to a BCI or 3, much more boring for me, made me miss my corn. 3. Sold 2 BCI's and traded 1 for a Grey banded Kingsnake. This I like too much, not getting rid of this...

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone on the forum keeps / has kept white lipped tree vipers. I'm looking at getting one in the year coming and any info will be greatly appreciated. My mind still isn't made up though, just in the research phase. You can even dissuade me if necessary. hehe

I'm not sure whether this should be in the behavior section or here. But non the less: I didn't think much of it, but a question was asked here earlier about a snake always being on one side which got me thinking. Over the past while I've noticed snakes take preference to a specific hide. I...

Here's one I picked up a while ago on this forum. If memory serves I think it was from a certain Mr. Munson, but I could be wrong about that. Sorry about the bad photos. I just took them quickly for this post with my phone... step 1. Get a piece of board. Step 2. Put a kink in said board...

How is it that you guys managed not to beat India yesterday? And why are there so many South Africans in your team?

as promised Here's a quick pic I snapped with my phone. I'll take a proper shoot in about 2 weeks once he's settled in.

Allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is Ricardo from South Africa. I used to frequent this site often, more as a lurker than a poster. Then one day sold off my corn snake and got into boas, which I've been trying my hand at for a while and found rather boring compared to corns. I thought I...

So I'm getting ready for bed - And what di I see chilling on my wall? This guy/ girl - I dunno what it is - there's loads of little one like it around (This one must have at least a 15cm leg span). But it scares me because its really quick. I mean really quick. So now its been evicted.lol

Hey guys - For quiet a while I've been thinking of getting into ATB's. I've been saving the money for correct husbandry, etc. I went to the Exo-terra show this weekend to check them out and actually wan't impressed too much. (All my research has been on the net and these were the first live...

and while she was out… While she was out I took a few pics to show you guys…

that light bulbs and CHE's dry out the air? Today was the first warm day we've had since I bought my BCI home. Her name is Susan (no offense to anyone - I let my sister name her). Anyway it was 29ºC in Johannesburg today and I came home to a sopping wet cage. I have 2 air vents in it, but...

I was hoping the BOA people on here could enlighten me. Normally when feeding my BCI I defrost the rat pup and dangle it in front of her nose with a pliers. She strikes almost instantly, constricts it to make sure its dead and swallows. Thinking about it, I decided that I shouldn't make a...

Before I got Phoenix (a sun-glow amel) I knew nothing about snakes. She was given to me as a gift by someone who didn't really know what they were doing either. All this persons animals have died in the 1 and a half years I had Phoenix in my care. During my desperate pursuit for information on...

Hi guys - I thought I'd try do something useful for a change. I notice a lot of the same questions get asked in this section, and even though the replies are very good nothing beats a picture. The idea is to make a thread with basic illustrations, and photos on viv setup - humidity boxes...

the cage Here's the cage - I couldn't add it to the original post for some reason.

I'd like to introduce the newest snake in my collection, and possibly the last. (you never know). I got her already with the cage, which i was sceptical about initially seeing as its made of polystyrene. You can get these cages here is South Africa for artround R300. Equivalent to 23 British...

Yeah - I'ts been hectic sinse I got the new job hey. I still come on and read a bit, just don't post much. Her pattern is exactly like that - and after every shed she loses a little more white. It's actually pretty exciting for me to see the changes - Here's a pic of her the day I got her -

Hey guys - Here's some pics of Phoenix - Please excuse the quality - I took these with my phone.

I messed up big time. Last Friday I got to go home early. So i stopped at the reptile store to get mouse to feed Phoenix. I told the guy to get me a hopper or small mouse, or something similar. I didn't go to the back room with him to choose it. When I got home I opened the box and stared in...

Hey guys - just curious what you're all using to shave? I was using a good old mach 3 and Gillette shaving gel - The price of the cartridges became a bit to much for my little budget - so now I'm using an old fashioned double edged razor. much cheaper - good shave - What are you guys using?
