Re: I feel cheated.

East Bay Vivarium in Berkeley lists their price for hatchling normals at $90. You may get a better deal at the show (where EBV may be anyways). I know they breed theirs in house and are generally...

Re: Heaters Just Won't Stop Turning Off?

If none of the breakers are being tripped, then one of two things is happening. Either you are losing power to the heater momentarily and it has a soft power switch (as in it is not always on while...

Re: Heaters Just Won't Stop Turning Off?

Sounds like you are overloading your power strip. I rarely plug a heater into a power strip as they're usually not rated for how much electricity the heater will draw. Most space heaters use around...

Re: Adult snakes and heat pads?

That may be true, but conduction is their most efficient way to gain heat (and probably accounts for more of it than radiation from the sun). Sitting on hot pavement either in the sun or after dark,...

Re: DIY Incubator ideas.

The easiest way I've seen is to just buy a cooler and modify it to be an incubator. Heat tape on the floor, some water bottles and a rack to put the tubs on. There are lots of tutorials on Youtube...

Re: Feigning Death

I do that sometimes when they try to keep me late at work.

Re: Boa...wiggling at me

I don't know if this is fully the case, but I've seen in some shows when they discuss snakes "triangulating" on their prey. With the position of their eyes, their forward depth perception can't be...

Re: Adult snakes and heat pads?

I'd like to see some actual evidence to this. I know tons of people who use heat tape and have been caring for and breeding snakes small and large for many years. It's true that heat tape/pads...

Re: BRB Experience & Enclosure

Honestly, baby BRBs are easiest to keep in a tub as they need high humidity (I keep mine at 100%). Mine lives in a 15 quart tub and spends most of his time burrowed under the substrate. I take him...

Re: SD Retic Pics

I find myself really wanting a retic due to this thread! I've been torn between a SD retic, a RTB, or a carpet python. I'm really interested in personality so it's hard to choose without getting...

Re: Keeping a couple of feeder mice

If FT is the best method for you, don't give up on it. My BRBs will eat just about anything, but there is a lot in the timing and mode they are in when feeding. Usually if I handle them at all...

Re: An Unfortunate Loss

Interesting to think it was the food size. Makes me nervous about switching my little Marco to hoppers eventually (though that won't be for a while...).

Re: O.P. Coxi

Congrats! I was just looking at them online and almost pulled the trigger myself.

It seems like due to their humidity requirements a tub would be the easiest method.

Where did you get yours?

Re: winter

I don't have central heating, so the oil-filled radiator heaters come out and get placed near cages/racks and have their thermostats set to 70.

Re: My babies

Nice looking snakes! For all the fancy BPs out there, I find the normal variations to still be quite beautiful and a worthy investment. Got one little normal guy in my household of snakes as well.

Re: An Unfortunate Loss

Sorry to hear. Your thread about her on the bp forums was part of what inspired me to get one. They do seem so small and delicate when they are young.

The worms do seem pretty concerning.

RIP...

Re: Lost and Found

Hoggies are so cute. Made the mistake of holding one recently and I fear I may end up with one. Seems like they are good escape artists though.

Re: BP Growth/Weight Question

Your snake looks beautiful! Just wanted to say that.

I just got a pair of female lessers that are almost a year and a half old and only weigh 179g and 223g respectively. They don't seem thin or...

Re: What to do in case of power outage

Wow. That's a long outage. Glad you're getting by.

I guess that's one benefit to having a wood burning stove to heat my living room/den.

Re: Handling after feeding

To the OP, I've vote for waiting 48 hours at this point. That's because I just learned the hard way with my BP Munch. He's always been a bit more fearful and skittish and he had just had a good...
