Arent you located in NC? If your friend is or is nearby, this is the place to go to: http://www.jemsekspecialty.com/index.php
The clinic used to be located in NC, but they moved out of state a while back. They may also be able to refer someone closer.
I had the same experience as...
Yes, yes! I keep forgetting they are related. Have heard great things about the intelligence of just about the entire group. Although i'd read people comparing Elaphe s. schrencki to them also, hoping to get my hands on a hatchling this year.
Ahh, I wasn't even thinking about Ptyas. This thread...
There are some really awesome looking garters out there. http://www.albinogartersnake.com/pricing.htm
My favorite has to be his neon blue california red sided.
You mentioned wanting something other then constriction feeding, but are you to referring to all constrictors or mostly boas/pythons? Are you looking for more "hunting" action? Are you wanting a species that's different ("cooler" really varies with taste) to show off?
There is a wide world of...
Was lurking & this thread caught my eye.
This is just in time as I foresee things getting a LOT worse before they get better. Right now Texas is a HUGE HUGE HUGE issue. The drought & fire has killed their hay & most the pastures. So they've been buying cuts from other states, well, those who...
I know I haven't posted on AB in forever, but this thread caught my eye. I've been toying with getting into snakes & was dead set on a hognose. Anyways, long story short, I decided to skip the "usual" & find a good "uncommon" starter. Everyone I know has a corn, RTB, or ball python.
African...
:cool: Good to hear! Doxies & doxie crosses are definitely awesome little dogs when you come across them.
And I recommend researching/seriously considering the other half if you get a mix. You may not find out right away what each half brings to the table, so make sure both halves work for...
Please don't get one of those "designer" breeds if that's what you're after with the dachshund x pug :( I know dachshunds seem to be crossed with a lot of other toy breeds these days, just annoys me. There are to many "oppsys" out there already.
And yes, very stubborn! Very sweet, but very...
This is the aussie mix, Hoss, although the pics are about 3yrs old & he is a lot more grey around the muzzle now:

This is the beagle mix, Stacey:

I thought your photos were amusing :) I myself have a dachshund x australian shepard & a dachshund x beagle mix. Talk about some prey drive! Mine are also confined to a decent sized fenced in yard & pretty much never catch anything, however they always pretend like they are!
The beagle mix is...
Since the tank is uncycled, each time you keep 30%, you're still adding back to the growing amount of nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia.
Now in a larger tank, each would build up then ideally all three will level out.
Tanks under 5gal, can be cycled. The nitrites, nitrates, and ammonia...
Keep an eye out on any local yard sale websites. A heater is more important then a filter for a 1gal container since that's really to small to cycle anyways. You'll still need to do regular 100% water changes. Walmart even has them for $10.
If you are insistant upon breeding, I think you should go for something in the Avics, like the versicolor. They aren't the most $, there is a demand for them, and they aren't the worst species to deal wth.
Really your posts make me think you need a LOT more experience with different species...
From what you described of your situation, a GBB sounds perfect. They are easy to care for & ok in a dry environment = easy tarantula for your father to care for should he have to. Their venom is also less potent then the H. lividum, another bonus.
H. lividum needs more humidity, generally...
Just thought i'd throw this into the lovely little argument going on...
Just because animals live certain ways in the wild, doesn't mean we want to replicate that in captivity.
Animals die a lot in the wild from the various things we try to keep out of their lives in captivity...
