Re: What snake between these two do you guys recommend?

Your first step should probably be to check to make sure that neither of these snakes are native to your state and then check to see if you can legally keep them if they are. Just a thought...

Re: Need some adive please.

Please understand that snakes are not mammals and they do not possess the same emotions as some mammals do. The fact that you change his water and care for him doesn't register as kindness that...

Re: Carpet python tank upgrade

I was not able to see any bedding material in the enclosure. If there is none, then I would recommend that you add some for her comfort. Eco-Earth is good stuff and lasts a long time with just spot...

Re: kingsnake escaped

Re: Can someone identify this snake?

It looks like a harmless Rat Snake. It's best to just leave it alone and let it do it's job controlling rodents in the area.

Re: Using Predatory Snake Mites

They are VERY small and light brown colored. Just sprinkle some of their bedding material in a dish and set it in your enclosure. The only time I saw the predatory mites was when they went on the...

Re: Using Predatory Snake Mites

They should eat them all. They did on the three enclosures I used them on and I've never had any more problems with mites.

Re: Using Predatory Snake Mites

You didn't have to remove anything. You can add the bedding back in and just put a bit of the predatory mite material on a small plate in the enclosure and say good bye to the snake mites. As I...

Re: Hide suggestions and where to buy them for an adult CornSnake?

Re: Wondering About Proper Cage Sizing

You could possibly house a Brown's Dekay snake in the 20 gallon tank, but fisrt you should check with your state regulations to see if there are any restrictions for keeping native animals as pets.

Re: Hide suggestions and where to buy them for an adult CornSnake?

Living on a lake, I found a couple of turtle shells that work great, and you can't get much more "natural" than that. It's the favorite hide for one of my young adult BRBs. If you don't live on a...

Re: Shedding w/o going into blue?

Re: Shedding w/o going into blue?

Re: Total newbie - lots of questions

If you want a more active snake, then I recommend that you consider one of the Colubrids rather than a Ball Python. Depending on the laws of your state, you might also want to consider a Garter...

Re: Please Help! Mysterious wound on Ball Python's back

Is there any chance that it was injured from a live prey item which then got infected? Just checking since you did not mention if you fed live or FT prey items.
