Re: Young Childrens Python Wont Eat

I breed the closely related Stimson's pythons, so I'll try to assist.
Since you are new to snakes, and didn't provide any background as to how you are currently feeding, I'll mention a few things...

Re: My reptile care site

I'm not particularly knowledgeable on driving traffic to facebook or you tube sites. I don't go to either for herp information. I suppose it takes time and self promotion.
However, I can tell you...

Re: Classroom Snake Options

My advice would be to make sure that the enclosure is locked and secured, so kids cannot remove the snake, damage the enclosure, pour liquids into it, etc. When I was 13, my biology teacher had...

Re: Species ID?

It's definitely a rat snake- appears to be an anerythristic corn snake. It's hard to know exactly why it isn't eating without knowing how exactly it is housed, and how food is offered. Quite often,...

Re: Help with heat tape

So the heat tape is on the back of the rack, 1/2" from the tubs? If so, that's not going to work.
I affix the heat tape to the shelves, directly under the tubs.
12" sounds a bit large. What is your...

Re: Radiant Heat Panel for BRB

For a cage that size, I would use the 80 watt. You won't make the enclosure too hot, as long as you're using a thermostat. Place the radiant heat panel on one end of the cage, and place a raised...

Re: Hognose Legality Question

Western Hognose aren't native to Tennessee, so they wouldn't be addressed as a native. Does Tennessee have a prohibited invasive or "exotics" list? I would look there next, but hognose probably...

Re: Caring for an Antaresia python

I don't use sand, so I may not be the right person to answer that question. I would be concerned about the snake ingesting it. However, with loose substrates, most keepers remove the droppings as...

Re: Caring for an Antaresia python

I work with Stimson's pythons myself, and find them to be quite easy to care for.
If you are only keeping a single snake, actual time spent per week will be very little. There are two main weekly...

Re: Baby boa didnt fully shed tip of tail

Soak the skin to soften it. Use a damp paper towel to grip it and peel it off.

Re: What kind of snake is this?

It's a copperhead, and they are venomous. Please don't kill them- simply give them a wide berth when they are active.

Re: Kind of a crappy question...about pooping lol

Boas don't usually defecate very often, unlike colubrids. Once or twice a month is quite normal.

Re: Speckled Kingsnake Potential?

I agree completely, chairman. There's nothing wrong with a small amount of responsible, sustainable collecting.
I think many new herpers seem to have forgotten how their captive bred herps...

Re: Best beginner snakes?

In most respects, I consider corns to be the best beginner snakes. However Cal Kings are a close second. The fact that you already like them should make the choice obvious. Just understand that they...

Re: RHP help!!!

If it's on constantly and isn't getting warm enough, offhand I'd say that you need a higher wattage panel.
What happens when you set the thermostat for 95?

Re: Heating concerns for Western Hognose snake enclosure

Sounds like your substrate is too thick, and isn't allowing enough heat through. If you are going to use a thick layer of substrate, you probably are going to need to switch to overhead heating.

Re: Spotted Python Won't Eat

I would try bumping up the heat a little bit. I would also ensure that the mouse is heated to around 90f. A heat lamp works great for this, but don't let the rodent overheat.
When you feed, take...

Re: Spotted Python Won't Eat

Although I don't work with spotted pythons, I do work with the closely related Stimson's pythons, so hopefully I can offer a few thoughts.

Re: Crestie Shed Issues Normal?

Stuck shed on the toes is a sign of insufficient humidity. Try not to overthink it. The easiest thing to do would be to reduce airflow, dampen part of the substrate, and/or add a humid hide.

Re: Crestie Shed Issues Normal?

It's common, but not normal. Shed stuck on toes is indicative of too dry an environment. I would suggest increasing the humidity in the enclosure, or providing a hide box with a damp substrate,

Re: feed BP with covid

If you find that you can't feed the snake for a while, it will be fine. You should try to make sure that it's cage stays clean, and that it always has clean water.
As far as is known, snakes don't...
