Do you recommend the book: KEEPING CHILDREN'S PYTHONS from Australian Reptile Keeper Publications? I just contacted the publisher and they will ship to the US for a additional $10 AUD. Is it a must have? I can not find any books on childreni in the US. This is the only book I could find. Do you...

I recently obtained a young pair of carpet pythons which were too young and too small to breed.So I began to power feed them in order to get them up to size for next season. They weighed 300grams 4 months ago.They were eating hopper rats at the time.They now weigh 1.2kg and are eating Large...

Been keeping pythons for 2 years now and got my first bite today. I handle them all the time ( at least once every two days or so) and the little jungle finally got me after hundreds, or possibly thousands of attempts. The other 3 haven't yet to even try but I bloody dread the day my big coastal...

Hey there, I am about to get my young Green Tree Python (Approximately 1 year old and 80 grams) home in the next week or two. The previous owner however is unsure of gender and is nervous to have the animal probed due to age and weight restrictions. Now I am not looking to have this done soon...

Hey guys sorry yes another one of these threads! I am sick to death of spending money on heat lamps when they either cook my snake or have to be turned on and off 20 times a day by a thermostat. I have heard of these heat cords and would love to hear some advice on them. I have a glass tank...

Hi guys, So i've decided I really want a pet snake, and seeming that I have mice they will always have food supply. So basically im after a Childrens Python from my research they seem the best for beginers. So I was wondering where should I buy it (e.g/ name of pet store, or seller), and how...

Hi, I have a 6 month old childrens python, which has been a fairly temperamental eater so far. It's been a month since she last fed, which I know is ok, she looks fine. My question is, when she takes food, should I try to give her a second mouse or just stick with one? I wasn't sure if I should...

Hey people, I have a Children's Python which is about 11 months old now. He has been a really good feeder (except when he was a hatchy), but recently he has not been eating. Every time I try to feed him (a fuzzy, in a different enclosure) he refuses to even look at it. It's like the mouse is a...

one issue my wife has with me keeping snakes is the issue of kids, we have 3 kids 6,3 and 9 months, and her problem is how do you teach your kids that the snakes daddy/mummy has in a cage at home are pets and its ok to touch when you are around but if you see a snake outside you are not to go...

Recently (as early as the very early am) a thread was presented about what you don't like about aussie snakes. Someone who shall remain nameless (sax) suggested antaresia were extremely ugly and boring. But the one thing that came extremely clear to me, when owning antaresia, was their...

My partner and I own a 10mo Antaresia Maculosa, Ramón. He's usually quite a good feeder, never delays too long (when he's hungry and decides to eat, anyway) and never takes more than half an hour to eat his food. Anyway so this time around he took 80 minutes to down a pinkie rat. We've fed him...
