Good afternoon everyone, I am about to change apartments and have everything I need. I have my box ready to go, my pillow cases, and soon I will have a hand warmer to attach to the side for the three block drive. My corn lives in a 20 long and I believe that he has enough room. I have an empty...

With the unseasonal heat we've had recently I thought I'd see if my big girl is ready to end brumating. Looks like she is which means spring is here! Time for her to start putting on some weight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took my yellow rat out to make sure she isn't losing weight while brumating as per usual. She only lost 6g in the last month and was grumpier than I expected. She gave me a bite and left a tooth in my hand too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey all. With so many of us feeding our snakes we frequently see unfortunate stories of regurgitation and discuss the methods of remedying the problem. Something has been confusing me. I often read statements describing snake gut flora regeneration as a major factor for why we wait before...

Saw my girl crawling around her viv with a purpose this morning and saw before I left that she had regurged one of her mice. She ate two small adult mice five days ago but I guess I had moved her too much or the food went bad. Her temps have all been good. 1. Since her food may be getting old...

Here are four of this guy. He's gained 64 grams from his last weigh in and is now 329. I expect him to keep gaining on his diet of large mice. He's also surprisingly picky about eating locale but attacks with gusto.

I fed my yellow rat four days ago. He's finally back on large mice after brumating. He hasn't had one since October and was 265g at last weigh in. I'm not worried yet, but have a good relationship with my vet and should be able to schedule a visit for next week. 1. It's usual for him to continue...

My big guy has been sleeping all winter and refusing all food offerings. I expect that he will eat either this month or next month if he behaves like he did last year. I plan to start him off with a small adult mouse, double it at the next feeding 10 days later, and then either continue with...

Another year with this beauty. I think he's about three years old and weighs 275g. He defo has the rat snake attitude, especially when I wake him up for photo ops like these. Always was a little thin but brumation isn't helping. I try to offer food monthly but no luck yet. Like last year. I...

I'm so glad that I have a snake rather than anything else with all the stress of the holiday season. With any other pet I'd have to make extensive preparations for how they would be cared for with traveling and unusual schedules. I made the mistake amidst all that happened to forget that my girl...

My third snake, a ball python, died in the past 36 hours. He was being treated for a respiratory infection that destroyed his lungs and was being treated with amikacin. He passed a large kidney stone a few days ago. I don't know if that contributed to his death. He was just starting to get...

Got myself a new snake today. Ball python weighing 539g. Got him from Sean Casey animal rescue. He was a bit of an impulse buy though and I need to buy a few things for the perfect set up. I'm also a little worried that he may have an RI, since he's been gaping a bit on his own and seemed to...

Does anyone have a snake that goes to the bathroom multiple times after a feeding? One of mine tends to get it all out in one burst, even after feeding on multiple items but the other makes piles for several days after feeding. Just wondering if it's normal to spot clean so often. If it isn't...

As my yellow rat has become more active and is finally eating again I gave his a thorough once over and found this. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2j4xamg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i62.tinypic.com/2j4xamg.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> it looks at first...

Fresh from her recent shed and weighing 213g, here is my Normal Amy. She has a great appetite and is about two. [/IMG]

After waiting three months and trying to feed my yellow rat, he finally ate his first medium adult mouse of the season. His temps were always ~84 thanks to his thermostat and heating pad. He used to eat any old where like his little sister and I worried that he might not like the flavor/smell of...

I have a number of pictures that I'd like to post but seem to keep running into the problem of them being too big. If i crop them, nothing of interest will be visible. What is the best way to downsize a picture while still keeping the image clarity? for reference, I've been taking my pictures on...

So I recently received one of those grow your own mushroom kits. They start you off with a brick of compressed wood fiber saturated with mushroom mycelium (the main body of a fungus). It's supposed to be able to grow one or two harvests of mushrooms. I've just grown my first crop and eaten it...

I adopted this beauty one year ago today. He was much smaller then, at just under two feet and only 52g. His previous owners didn't want to feed him anything larger than pinkies, we're keeping him on sand with bad hides, and we're afraid of him. I easily picked him up on our first encounter and...

I just wanted to give a shout out to Mike Hano, my rodent supplier. He has a good selection of prey animal and sizes and usually has what I need. When he doesn't, he always lets me know when he expects new product in. I just bought 50 medium mice for $30 which I think is less than I paid for the...
