Thanks. I think he's a macklots too. Not quite what I ordered, but he's a nice snake. Trying to get him all fed and hydrated. He's pretty scruffy looking right now. I'll see if I can get some better pics of him this weekend. :cool:
Can someone ID this python for me? I purchased him unseen as an Australian Water Python (laisis fuscus), which I'm pretty sure he's not. He almost looks like a Macklots. I spent a few hours going over pics online and I can't quite find anything that looks exactly like him. These are the best...
This bill was amended yesterday to EXCLUDE flea markets and swap meets! :)
Here's the new version:

I guess the animal show promoters were loud enough to be heard by the author. Thanks to everyone who sent letters and complained about this bill...
Yeah, ventilation is important. I had the same problem with my pixie tank, it would smell moldy after only a week with fresh substrate. I moved him to a larger tank and into the living room where there's more airflow and I don't have that problem anymore.

"Yesterday there was a hearing scheduled for AB 1122 in the California Assembly in front of the Appropriations Committee. It was canceled at the last minute by the bill's author. This was likely due to the efforts of USARK, The Reptile Nation and many other groups opposed...
I checked this morning and it says the hearing was cancelled on request of the author. So I guess we will have to wait some more. That gives us more time to send in our letters and emails.
The only reason I finally got a refund is because someone I knew was friends with the manager and talked to him about it personally otherwise I think I would still be out of money. Check out their BBB rating. It's pretty bad... http://www.la.bbb.org/businessreport.aspx?companyid=13115338

VICTORY over HR669!!!
WE DID IT FOLKS!!!! Victory over HR669! You can thank yourselves and the Reptile Nation, for a hard fought Victory! Our nearly 50,000 grassroots letters and 1,000s of phone calls to the offices of the subcommittee members clearly prevailed at...
I keep two adult female corns in a fairly large cage with four hiding spots. Even so, one will usually be on top of the other in the same hide. I don't have any problems with stress or feeding (the eat in a separate tank). Each snake is different though and as long as you are able to recognize...
Try putting some towels and/or cardboard down around the house. If it comes out to explore at night it might decide to hide under there and you can easily find it. I had a naughty sand boa that escaped a few times and I always found her in the bathroom under the mat!
Good luck!
I wouldn't keep anything super venemous. There's a reptile rescue in my area so I can get up close to rattlesnakes and other venemous snakes any time I want, and don't have to keep them myself. I think they're really fascinating.
I only keep "mildly" venemous snakes like my hognose and I'm...
Check out this brochure from the National Environmental Coaliton on Invasive Species: http://www.necis.net/files/brochure-to-support-h.r.-669-2.pdf
Not only is it filled with tons of misinformation, It shows a ball python and says it's a burmese python. I guess a snake is a snake to these...
Yes, they are very smelly, even when I'm not disturbing them. I have to stick my nose in the tank to smell it so its not so bad. They have a definite odor though.
Nymph production and growth rate is VERY slow! The egg cases hatch in about 8 weeks and the nymphs can take up to a year to become adults. I only have a few adults but my females are producing lots of egg cases so hopefully I can get my colony going soon.
I think I read that females produce...
