Hey all, I'm back in the hobby after about ten years (so I haven't posted here much in a long time). I'm looking for some terrestrial NW species to get with the intention of sending them out for breeding loans in the future. The species I'm most interested in are theraphosinae sp. panama, and...
Ah that's interesting, I could see how a snake that feeds sporadically could be a lot more frustrating for a new snake owner, than one that eats well. What are you supposed to do with extra thawed mice? Nothing fun I'm sure lol
I've been looking at different snake species and these seem pretty attractive. It looks like they need less humidity than most boas so that's a plus for me. I'm seeing different things about their temperament, so I guess that depends on the snake maybe.
People are saying they aren't a good...
"For the most part no. You plug your heat source into the thermostat. You put the thermostat's probe into the enclosure to achieve the desired temperature."
Ah sorry they were easier to find than I thought. What one would you recommend?
Is the thermostat built into the light or heat pad?
And yeah I figured if the snake regulates it's own temp it would just go where it needs to go. If I had a 5 ft tank I'd think the snake could do that pretty easily.
Womas don't sound delicate and I'm wanting something large that you can keep...
I'm planning on getting a snake, probably a woma python. I've read people lower their enclosure temps at night. Is this important for snake husbandry? Also is there a simple way to do this with a timer? I'm not sure what products might be available that can help out with this.
Also I read...
How is your black headed python as far as care/temperament? I can't find much info on keeping them, and I've never had a big snake before so they intimidate me lol
I've heard they were hard to take care of b/c people didn't know you had to brumate the young before you feed them or something. I really want to get a pair, they sound like they're about the most docile snake there is.
What kind of Boa constrictor is that specifically? I don't know anything about them. I know red tail boas can be tame, but they also have nasty bites so they kind of intimidate me lol
Well I told myself if I made it through school I'd get myself a really nice snake, so although I can't say I'll ever have much money, in this one instance the cost isn't a concern ;)
I would like something exotic, but at the same time ease of care, and a mild temperament are important. I...
Hey guys, thanks for the responses! Looks like some interesting stuff has been happening. I like those olive baboons a lot!
I guess to be clear, I'm personally not super excited about blue T's in particular, but that's just a frame of reference for what was popular when I had to give up...
I had lost my place and had to give away all my T's, and my two snakes, about six years ago, but I went back to school and just got my nursing license. I'm thinking of getting back into T's maybe toward the end of the year.
I'd stayed away from the forum this whole time, mostly b/c I was...
I'm looking to get back into snakes toward the end of the year maybe, and I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions? Right now I'm considering a woma, ball python, or pair of children's pythons b/c they seem interesting, and have reputations as being docile.
But I'm looking for a...
"My girl is awesome, I must have lucked out. She loves pets and being picked up. Litter trained herself to her cage, doesn't do any dropping on the floor and I let her free roam the house all day, even when I am not home.."
you are either very lucky or maybe just got a better breed lol
my...
i used to just take my old rabbit outside and let him run, no leash or anything. it was basically the only time he seemed happy, usually he seemed pretty miserable.
after i lost him to diarrhea i got a couple dwarfs. the damn things refuse to potty train, and the one sits in her own poop...
