first time owner

Hi Everyone, I'm new here so apologies if anything isn't in the right place! I'm very interested in caring for a lizard or snake. I haven't owned any, though I'm more than willing to learn and commit which is why I'm wanting some input on some species here. I'm more interested in having a...

Hello all! First post here, so apologies if this is not the correct area, if I ramble on for too long, or if I’m lacking certain forum etiquette, but regardless - I’m very happy to be a part of what seems to be an awesome like-minded community. Late September this year, I became the proud owner...

Hey Guys, first time poster, long time reader. I got an Albino Darwin, beautiful little fella. I'll list out the enclosure and temps and stuff first to stop anyone "not enough information, don't know blah blah" Enclosure: 80hX90wX60d (it came with him, I know I need a new one as he's almost 8ft...

Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I’ve been interested in getting reptiles for a long time and I’m finally in a position to get one. At this point I’m in the research stage and I’m looking into shinglebacks. My hope is to get a pair of “hatchies” (I know they give birth to live...

Hi there, I’m a first time snake owner with a 7 month old Stimsons Python. He was feeding relatively well for the first 3-4 months. He’s shed twice (both clean full sheds) and the last shed was just before winter. Now I haven’t been able to get him to eat for almost 3 months. He shows interest...

Hi all, first time snake owner here. I have a roughly 8 month old Children’s Python, I have had it for around 5 months. It always handled well and only tagged me once when I scared it. A few weeks ago I went to pick it up to handled it, but it was around feeding day and it mistook my finger...

Would a 5L plastic container be a good first enclosure for a hatchy/juvie Children's python? It's 33cm x 24cm x 11cm

Hi there :) I've very recently bought a pygmy bearded dragon (around four days ago) and I'm not sure what to do with a few things and i have a few questions... I'm not sure how old she is? the people I got her from said that she was born late December to early January maybe, but she is quite...

Hey All! hope you're having a wonderful day. I'm a first time snake mama, and i was initially advised to get a Spotted Mac as they are a great first time snake... but then was advised to get a Bredli as they are very docile... I've been doing research and i just kind of seem to get mixed...

hi all, I'm planning on getting an eastern blue tongue (my first reptile) and I have been doing some research but I really wanted to ask people with experience rather than just trust Google. What is the best setup/how do I correctly set up an enclosure such as heating and all of that kind of...

Hi guys! this is my first time on this forum and also my first time getting a snake. I've been looking into the Murray Darling Carpet Pythons, Centralian Carpet Python or Children's python which are the ones they sell near where I live. I also have a few questions: 1. Which one of these snakes...

Hello all! I've been considering getting a lizard before I could even legally get a license for myself, and now it's 7 years later. I'm seriously contemplating owning one soon, and have been doing a lot of research into what species I should get. However, I'm still not 100% sure and would love...
