Hey guys, Pyro again!
Got a really nice new picture of my new Boa Constrictor, Dante, and a couple questions!
I've done a lot of research on how to care for snakes and although most of it was based on Ball Pythons which was the snake I'd intended to get, I did broaden by horizons and...
Hey APS,
I have been chasing a female Pygmy Stimson Python for awhile now and had no luck finding one. I would prefer 2 years plus of age but will take younger considering how hard they are to find. Will pay more than fair price for the right animals. Thanks.

So, long story short, today I went to Pets and Aquatics in Manchester to take a look at the snakes and with intentions on purchasing a Royal Python or a Dwarf Boa like a Hog Island. Instead, I came home with a one year old Boa Constrictor. Don't get me wrong, I might have got her on a bit of a...

Once I establish that my new BD is doing well, I'm thinking of getting either a stimmi or a bredli. I just can't decide. For you lovers of these snakes out there, convince me. ;)
Hi, my name is Jade. I've just bought a 12 month old female stimsons python. I fed her for the first time tonight and after she ate I noticed the sides of her mouth were purple, is this normal? How often should I handle her and for how long?

My brother bought himself a hatchling stimsons pythons about 2 months ago! He is now just over 4 months old!
The problem is he can not hold him! We've tried everything that everyone suggests on every thread, we left him alone for the first 2 weeks after the move, we've made sure to feed him in...
So first of all I will apologize to all those who don't like attaching human emotions to animals, I am going to do it because it's easier for me! :)

After picking up my first little GTP (on to my second now thanks Bryce) I wanted an enclosure that would really make her stand out. I had spent a lot of time day dreaming about the design and sketched many different combinations. I came up with a three in one 2 foot cubes. They would act as an...

Hi all,
About to do my 3rd coat of render, and wondering if there is any reason why I can't paint directly on the render before the pondtite? Logically, it makes sense to seal it last, so none of the paint comes off, but having never done it before, just thought I would see if anyone has...

We have just bought first hatchling (spotted python), done a bit of research and set up a click clack for it. The seller said it hasn't been handled much but should be easy to tame it after a few weeks. It's feeding/shedding well... BUT just wondering if overly feisty/biting/jumpy...
