Curious to see how everyone ended up with scalies in their house and at what age. :) For me it is how ancient and different they are, and how successful they have been over millions of years.

My olive python recently shed, and it was a bit problematic (shed belly and sides, but not back) so I soaked her and got the rest off no problem. I've only just notices, but she has white patches on her belly scales, near the edges. In close proximity to the white is a light pink shade, which is...

Hi,
I've had my new 4/5 month old beardie for a week now and yesterday and today he has been off his food and sleeping seemingly 24/7. Sometimes if I disturb him he goes into a sporadic state of looking around really fast (sometimes tripping himself over) and being generally agitated. He was...

Hi, I've been browsing here for a while but only joined up yesterday.

there really are some great looking snakes around.this would be 1 of many on my wish list. So dont be shy and show us what would be some of the stuff on ur wish list
Just wondering for those who keep feed records.
Say you've gone to one pet shop/breeder but for whatever reason had to switch to another.
When you make a purchase/keep a feed record... Do you go by the label on the Rat or the weight?
I'm asking this because I've recently done a switch from one...
Evolution Of Aversion: Why Even Children Are Fearful Of Snakes
Hey guys,
was browsing around today and found this, it's an article about how the fear of snakes, spiders etc, may have evolved over time. The fear arose as a way for early humans to detect snakes easier.
I think I read somewhere...

Hey all, well, i've decided to start constructing my hatchies full enclosure now so it'll be ready by the time he's big enough to move in.
I'm thinking of going for a 1200mm(L)x 1200mm(H)x 900mm(D) enclosure. Is that too big? Would 600mm (D) be fine?
I'm trying to work out heating arrangements...
Was just looking through the current species list for Nsw reptile keepers licences and saw the Olive pythons are on R1 companion, now i dont know about you but i thought that a python that can grow upto 13-foot would have to be altleast on R2 or R3, so that it being on R1 would mean that a...
