Re: HELP: Stuck shed

OK, you just believe whatever you want. I don't know why you want to be argumentative for the sake of it.

I don't know what you keep, but my snakes have never stayed motionless in ONE spot 24/7...

Re: HELP: Stuck shed

She was a tiny baby. She slithered under the newspaper, got flipped upside down and was stuck underneath it. There was a hot hide, a cool hide, a water bowl and a plastic plant in there. Somehow the...

Re: HELP: Stuck shed

Thanks. Yeah, I read about the dangers of pain relievers after seeing your post.

In my early post I was using "rheostat" as "thermostat" because I thought they were the same thing. I thought...

Re: HELP: Stuck shed

I read about snakes dying in wet pillowcases while researching how to remove this stuck shed. I'm not saying I have personal experience or scientific studies to back it up.

Please re-read my post....

Re: HELP: Stuck shed

Thank you for the great advice. I have been using a plastic box to soak her but it hasn’t helped remove the last bit st the tip.

Why the neosporin without pain reliever? Is the stuff with it bad?...

Re: HELP: Stuck shed

Thanks for the tips everyone, although I've read that a wet pillow case has killed some snakes in the past, so I don't think I'll use it.

No, it was not the result of an unregulated heat mat....

HELP: Stuck shed

My plains garter shed Saturday. Sunday I noticed the very end of her tail did not shed. Long story, but this became an issue when was young and got stuck under the newspaper against the heat mat.

Re: What happened to Little Foot and Sarah?

I'd prefer to visit a non-Facebook forum and come to this one nearly every day, but the lack of posts and responses to posts is really discouraging.

I think people would come here more if people...

Re: Help identifying this snake in Akron, OH

That looks like a female garter snake that is about to give birth to a bunch of babies! Don't worry about its size.

I keep two garters who are about two years old and they are three feet long, but...

Re: Can Anyone Identify This Large Water Snake?

This is a bullsnake, which is subspecies of the Gopher snake, according to the MN DNR. People use the two terms/names interchangeably. It is considered the longest snake we have in Minnesota (I live...

Re: Help a newbie out please???

Like others said, new and young snakes will be fearful for awhile.

That said, there are things you can do to minimize the fear and begin the taming process:

-Put your snake's tank in a busy-ish...

Hello, and welcome. I don't have direct experience with milk snakes at all, but I wouldn't worry too much about a new animal hiding for a week or more if it otherwise looks healthy and is a good...

Where do you live that there are that many roaches, and such big ones at that?!

Re: Any American Toad Keepers?

Thank you for the great input. I think keeping roaches might be too much for me. I'm not afraid of insects; I'm just not sure I'm ready for the added commitment. Thank you for the honest insights.

Re: Any American Toad Keepers?

Thank you for the information. The person giving them away didn't have good photos of the tadpoles so I can't tell myself.

I'd love to have some spring peepers or tree frogs.

Any American Toad Keepers?

Hi,

Does anyone here keep American toads? What are they like as pets? What is their care like? How many feeder insects do you go through for an adult in a week?

Re: Flakey Scales

What's your snake's set up like? Do you have a full picture?

I'd suggest giving it a humid hide with damp sphagnum moss 24/7 even when it's not in shed. I'm a huge advocate of bioactive tanks, and...

Re: New cage fixture... is a light fixture?

Personally I feel that the wire is too small/narrow to provide comfortable support for a snake’s weight. I’d prefer something with more heft/wider diameter.

Re: Using wild isopods... Just how risky is it?

There’s a Facebook group for bioactive reptile and amphibian setups (I think that’s almost the exact name) and many people there use field collected isopods and other clean up crews. Check it out.
