Hey guys, I'm trying to reach Breedingcolors for some information I need about Buttercup. I am moving to NJ and state laws require me to register my snakes as exotics, but to do so I need Caroline's contact information. I see she hasn't been on here in ages but was hoping someone would have a...

I THINK Onyx is ovulating, but I can't really find any info that says its possible any time other than the spring, though I admit I haven't had much time to look (crummy midterms ~,~). She's gotten very puffy and feels almost like shes full of jello O.O Shes not in any apparent pain, and shes...

Alright, I see plenty of search results for warming up a viv, anyone have any hints for cooling it down? I have fans on them now, but they are still topping out at 93-95 *F Never had such a hot summer here ~.~ Was thinking maybe ziploc baggies of ice under one hide? (under the aspen thats...

Sooo... I've been away from my boys for almost 2 weeks, I miss them SO much. So glad I've had this page to keep me going, and also the excitement of waiting to see if a butter female will hatch *crosses fingers*. Heading home tomorrow hehe.. poor Treasure is going to be held for a couple hours...

Yes yes the title does say 1/3 the weight ~,~ Hunter has eaten once in around 3 months, I picked him up today to put him in the feeding cup and was like WHOA, so I decided to weigh him, 110g. Last weigh was April ish and he was 330. I put him in the tub with a mouse scented by shaking it in...

Anyone have any tips for making a highly aggressive snake even remotely handleable? Hunter has become totally untouchable by me, he bites, musks, hisses and rattles if I even go near him *cry* Everyone else can touch him, just not me. Its to the point where I put a mouse in in a plastic cup...

Sooo Treasure decided to relieve himself on a VERY expensive goose down comforter, and the side of my butt LOL. Anyone have tips for getting snakey poo out of goose down? The dry cleaners here won't touch it ~,~

Heres a new pic Caroline sent me of Onyx... shes getting so big! I hope to have her here with me soon, can't wait to get to hold her hehe.

Hunter is in blue, hes at the stage where hes milky all over. Hes been at the cool end of his viv all day, but when I picked him up he felt quite warm. I felt the substrate where he was laying and its cool. I've never noticed a temperature change in the snakes due to shedding and never read...

I'll be going on vacation this summer for a couple weeks, and will need to take the snakes with me as my sister won't take care of them for me and everyone else I know is terrified of them LOL. They're used to big 33 gallon standard tanks which I obviously can't take to Montreal in the back...

I have found, so far, 2 feeders that OBVIOUSLY had cancer. My question is, do you folks ever feed tumorous mice to your snakes, or do you generally throw them out? I know they can't catch the cancer or anything silly like that, just not sure if its healthy for them and my medical and...

Been saying for months I would post this hehe... I use clinicide to clean my tanks and wanted your guys' opinions. Clinicide is a veterinary product used to clean exam rooms and boarding cages between animals. Its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral. It has also recently been tested to...

I did a search about lifted scales and don't see anything that is like Treasure's. Hes weeks from shedding still, and has a very thick feeling scale lifting on the top of his head, one of the two large ones. The other large one is also starting to lift somewhat. It looks and feels almost like...

I'll try to get a pic of the "albino corn" the pet store has, but I'm not sure the manager will let me. It LOOKS like a nice adult snow, a bit over weight and scarred, but otherwise healthy. Here the thing... its head is totally not corn shaped. Its head looks like a python's, with the...

So I was holding Treasure, and he did something I'm never seen before. At first I thought he was deficating on me, had his tail up and did the typical little pause. But it wasn't defication. There were 2 globs of white gooey stuff with a little blood in them, then 2 more globs of white gooey...

Okie, so I was holding Hunter yesterday, yes HOLDING him... hes in blue LOL, the only time I can hold him without having him try to eat me. I noticed hes yawning a LOT, and wondered if maybe hes just stretching his jaw. Has anyone else noticed their snakes doing this when they are in blue...

I've been trying to get Hunter used to being held for over a month, and things are just getting worse. =( Last night when I was holding him, he was doing his usual trying to leap out of my hands, and I was doing my usual hand in front of hand to give him a feeling like hes getting somewhere...

I've been reading a lot of info on morphs lately, 1/2 out of curiosity and 1/2 out of need for knowledge for when I start to breed my snakes. What is the difference between a normal and a hypo? I've read that hypos have greyed or reduced black borders, which makes me question why Treasure is...

Has anyone heard from Caroline lately? (Breedingcolors) Haven't heard from her or seen a post in a while and am getting a bit worried!

So I was holding Hunter, letting him cruise around and he sneezed in my ear! I've never heard a snake sneeze before hehe. I listened to him for signs of a respiratory infection, and theres nothing, and no more sneezing. Think maybe he got a hair in his nostril and it tickled him. Anyone else...
