Re: Info on Black Tailed Cribo

No BTC experience, but 1.1 Eastern indigo and 1.1 Texas indigo experience. I'm assuming the black tails are like other Drymarchon, so be ready for: crazy feeding response, very active/alert, pretty...

Deering Estate boas.... info?

Can anyone provide some info on the Deering Estate boas? Any info on founding stock, or thoughts of their origin? Tried a little Google, but not much out there.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Please Identify Carpet Python

I would agree w Ziggy...and you are correct about the seller mis-labeling them.

Pic 1 labeled as "zebra-jag" looks like a normal carpet python (unless you have documentation of "pure" JCP blood)...

Re: I'm new here Please be gentle.

I would second Craig's comments. Retics and balls are nothing alike. If you don't have the experience, financial resources, and space (lots of it), you might want to consider sticking w ball...

Re: Why is there no Coral snake antivenom

R&D on an elapid venom that they are not set up for or has not been tested/approved would be a financial nightmare.

Re: Why is there no Coral snake antivenom

There are so few coral snake bites annually, that it doesn't make a lot of economic sense. CS envenomation would be considered an "orphan disease", meaning that there just aren't enough people...

Re: Help please! Thinking of purchasing a Mexican Black King that might have mites?

Kateri7, sounds like you're trying to talk yourself into getting the snake. Ziggy and Craig are right. Do yourself a huge favor and pass on this one. No matter how upfront the owner is. Way too...

Re: Got my boa, now for some care questions

I think you are missing the point. Thermometers and hygrometers won't regulate, they simply measure. You are having to mist 2x day because of the cage and the use of a bulb. Think ahead to 6 or 12...

Re: Got my boa, now for some care questions

Your temp and humidity control will be difficult. Glass is not a great insulator. And you will need to use plexiglass or something to block off most of the screen top to retain humidity.

You may...

Re: Got my boa, now for some care questions

Here is my two cents... less is more.

You can drive yourself crazy trying to adjust every parameter of their environment. That increases the possibility of over-shooting and under-shooting what...

Re: Jungle Carpet Python: Transitioning From Live To Frozen/Thawed

Overnight is fine, it won't harm your snake. But, I wouldn't leave in there past 24ish hours. As far as the scale goes, do not fixate on this. Just weight your snake every week and look at trends...

Use a cage hook to hook train the snake...
