Re: King Snake find, eye issue

To me the eye looks more yellowish than blue, is that the case (pictures can be misleading). If so it looks like he might have some retained spectacles and a possible infection. :-/

Re: California kingsnakes as invasive species on Gran Canaria

Re: Microchipping?

Can you link the legislation for this? I purchased a carpet python at an expo and nobody mentioned anything about microchips or anything. I also have a rosy boa. I think this may only apply to giants...

Re: Microchipping?

FL requires it? For what- giants only?

I have my mammals microchipped, but especially living in FL (as i do now), i think if any of my animals got out not many people would even think to scan it,...

Re: anacondas is the topic

Re: Heat Lamp for Kingsnakes

I agree with mikoh. Inc you have a front opening tank I think you'll never keep a reptile in a glass tank again haha :-)

Re: cottonmouth problem- safe removal?

Thank you for this very helpful advice. I hadn't thought about a snake fence, but i think that may be very effective for the areas they are working in; dogs and humans could still cross it but snakes...

Re: cottonmouth problem- safe removal?

ok, but I'm wondering if rodenticides are a viable option. Will they just kill the mice etc in the area, or is it possible the snakes will eat some of the mice as well. Does anyone know how/if...

Re: cottonmouth problem- safe removal?

I thought about recommending rodenticides, but will this kill the snakes (who may eat poisoned rodents) and I was also worried about wildlife and the dogs (who may eat the rodents or the poison...

Re: cottonmouth problem- safe removal?

Antigenic is very expensive. These are not hunting dogs they are search and rescue animals trained to do a job of finding a person, and ignore environmental stimuli. I will ask about training them to...

Re: Recommendations for Hognose portability?

Not only would it be stressful, but you are removing all options for the snake to thermoregulate (choosing his own temp) or select humidity microclimates.

Honorees are great pets, but like ANY...

Re: Species progression?

Re: Here we go again

Remember that colubrids are more active snakes anyway, so itb isnt abnormal for them to be cruising aro umd between meals. I think once you up the prey size to something a little more substantial you...

Re: My retic is too fat...
