    Mystery Python

    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:

    Mystery Python

    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...

    WARNING-California AB1122 Hearing on Wednesday 5/6/09

    This bill was amended yesterday to EXCLUDE flea markets and swap meets! :) Here's the new version: http://www.aroundthecapitol.com/Bills/ab_1122 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...

    pixie frog smell :-(

    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.

    WARNING-California AB1122 Hearing on Wednesday 5/6/09

    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

    Two female corn snakes; love or aggression?

    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...

    They are probably my favorite bug. I love their spiny little heads!

    california king snake escape

    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!

    Anybody here own hot snakes?

    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...

    WARNING- HR6311 now HR669

    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...

    American cockroach

    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.

    Timeline of Dermestid beetles at work

    What sort of substrate do they need? Are you keeping them on styrofoam and paper towels like in the pic?

    American cockroach

    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...
