Re: Is a supertank possible?

Typically co-habitation is frowned upon however some do it (including zoos). Like others have stated, you need species that won't eat each other and need identical environmental conditions.

Re: Is a GTP beginner friendly?

I agree with all above however I have a suggestion that may or may not work for you. I had to.get rid of most of my snakes when I went off to college. I really missed them so I found a way to get...

Re: Potential first-time snake owner questioning morality

Re: Snappy Woma

Re: Green tree python vs. Emerald tree boa

It is not necessarily an age but a size thing. When they are little their spine and tail is very small and fragie. That coupled with the way they attatch to their perches can cause injury if...

Re: Green tree python vs. Emerald tree boa

I have never had an emerald tree boa. I did however have a few Chondros years ago. I had an Aru female that was puppy dog tame. She was easily removed from her enclosure and would just hang out on...

Re: hide box = socialization vs safety

I will agree that snakes can differe to a degree on an individual basis however basic survival instincts most likely are still in tact. If not the individual would be culled by nature. Now is there...

Re: My female Woma python is one of the most beautiful i ever saw :D

There are inexpensive womas available however Womas are kind of like Jungle carpets in the sense that there is a huge difference in quality form one to another. Also like JCP's who have drastic...

Re: Any experience with breeding trades?

1) With viruses like NIDO going around and the fact that snakes who seem completely healthy can have them I would be very leery about bringing a snake...

Re: My female Woma python is one of the most beautiful i ever saw :D

Very nice contrast, I really like the contrast on some of the darker womas. On the flipside however I also really enjoy the bright orange and yellows on some of the reduced pattern womas. You...

I second the woma python, another option from the same family but with a different look and a little more rare would be a black-headed python. If you want something other than aspedities try and...
