I keep y milk snakes the same way as my gopher and my king. One thing I have noticed though is that my honduran can handle noticeably larger meals than my king. Be warned though that milks can have very musky, tail whippy, flighty attitudes.

I've been surprised by quite a few T's. My OBT is kind of like yours, rather mellow, slow almost, and not too much of a webber. It forms it's one tunnel and that's it lol. It's 2 yrs and 3''. My friends 1.25'' OBT on the other hand is the classic "I'll rip your face off if you look at me and...

Update- I've been pulling them out over the last three days as they've come off the mother, pulled the last ones out yesterday. Total count is 16. I have them all seperated in 2 ounce ramekins on coco with a plastic leaf for a hide. I plan on switching them to sand after they hit 3rd instar...

Here you go:

Thank you!

Well they started molting today (6/26/2013), and it looks like there are anywhere from 15-20 or so. Seems like a small brood but I'll take it :-). Now I'm just hoping they all make it.

Nevermind, I did a search for "porteri" like I should have in the first place, and realized that this whole genus is a taxonomical mess like Avicularia. I decided I will keep her labeled as rosea, and if I ever breed her I will use a male with the same colors in hopes that I don't accidentaly...

Hi everyone, I bought this girl at a pet store as G. rosea but part of me thinks she may be porteri. Now, I don't know the differences between the two, but I've read that they get mixed up frequently, and that porteri supposedly has less pink on the carapace. She molted on 3/19/2013 and is still...

When i got her, sold as rosea, pre molt (not in pre molt, just before she molted)

Grammostola rosea Grammostola rosea, female, 4.5-4.75" pre-molt, gained .5" post-molt. I bought her in August last year, and she molted for me on 3/19/2013. I'll get an updated picture of her tomorrow.

Look into the Nerodia genus, or water snakes. They mimic cottonmouths/ water moccasins. IMO, theyre one of the best mimics out there (that I know of).

Thank you. Im just keeping my fingers crossed that she doesnt eat them all.

So I bought a 2 inch V. spinigerus from LLLreptiles at an expo on 10/13/2012. I havent checked on her in a couple days or so and my friend goes and looks at the critters then comes out saying my scorpion has babies on her back. After making sure he isnt screwing with me i run in my room and see...

Hey Steve, just wondering if you have an update for us? Did any of them happen to make it?

Oh really? Is that why since 1990 there have only been ten deaths[1] attributed to captive constricting snakes? Thats 0.45 deaths per year. Now lets look at the statistics for dogs, between 2005 and 2012 there have been 251 attacks by dogs that have resulted in death[2]. Thats 31.375 deaths per...

Please see red text. Im not saying you cant feed in a seperate enclosure, im justsaying its completely unnecessary.

Man he looks fantastic! I gotta get me some more Lampro's. I'm sorry, but apart from washing your hands after handling prey, none of that is necessary. A little piece of of substrate being ingested is going to do nothing to harm the snake. There are a ton of people who have been feeding...

Your right that the snake doesnt have eyelids. But what they do have is a thick cap covering the eye made of keratin. The hairs wouldnt do anything to hurt the snakes eyes. Not true. Corn snakes have no heat receptors. They hunt primarily by chemoreception through the tongue and jacobsons...

There is no way that corn snake is going to eat the tarantula. Corns are strictly carnivorous. They could definitly kill eachother though if one or both felt the need to act defensively. Its kind of mind boggling that the guy thought to put them together. I dont understand how that idea could...
