Hi all, I bought an enclosure recently, the sizing is 1850 long by 60cm wide by 45cm high, my question is what snake could I really put in there? or lizards if I choose to go that way? Thank you

Alright, fess up! :lol: Personally I'd lock myself in the laundry & let the snake finish me off. How embarrasing. I wonder what was said when they phoned 000 ....."gasp, gasp, gasp" ...not a good look for the hobby. Woman calls triple-0 after pet python wrapped itself around her neck -...

Ok guys and girls, I am in a bit of a dilemma. Some time ago I bought some tanks with the intention of putting frogs in them. When I bought them the bloke had a couple of snakes in them, he mentioned he wanted to eventually get a Albino Darwin. Back then I didn't even know what that was, so I...

Mine did this morning for the first time (and hopefully last) at about 4am. I was fast asleep and woke up out of instinct I guess, then heard a noise and went over to inspect to find Amity was 3/4 through a hole in the wall. I grabbed her tail and tried to slow her moving down while I tried to...

So I bought a snake today and she's now settling in for a few days. When I went to buy her, the owner told me she was slightly protective of her enclosure, and in particular a hide (Exactly like this one): It has the small holes in the other side for them to climb into. Anyway, he told me she...

My new BHP have been acting strangely these two days. I had him for 1.5 weeks and he seem settled in his enclosure , he would sleep in his favourite hideout (28- 30 degrees Celsius) and become really active around 7pm when it's darker but for the past three days he looks lethargic and remains in...

Hi all After knowing that i just bought a python one of my mate gave me some frozen day old Quails carcass , she told me that they died soon after they were born. (she breed and kept quails). I was wondering if they can be used as food for my BHP as according to her all the quail chicks were...

Hi All I am new to python keeping at the moment, just got my first snake this week. I was reading about feeding your snakes in a separate enclosure so that he will be less prone to biting and associate you with food whenever you open the cage. My question is once the snake has been fed, do i...

Hi everyone, I've tried doing a search for this particular topic but hard to narrow down the returned results. I've had my 10 week old jungle python since the Penrith expo (a bit over a week now). Seems settled in and relaxed during the night time and had a feed (smashed the fuzzy) last...
