Help please !!

I have a 10 year old CCP and always sheds full skins no dramas, but today, which in itself is unusual as he normally sheds over night, he has had a shocker With the aid of a warm bath we hve managed to get the retained skin off his body and tail but he still has an eye cap and some patchy skin...

Hi, Well, I found a great cabinet that I intend to convert into a home for one or more reptiles later. For now, I'll simply put my stimmie's enclosure on the top of it. I bought some castors to screw into the bottom of the cabinet. The thing is heavy even without reptiles so I thought it...

Right, so basically I have been given the task to calm down a scrub python. He's sitting at around 1.5m at the moment (I've never taken him out for a good look) which is small on the scrub scale, but sizable enough to give a decent bite. I usually wouldn't ask about handling, but for such a...

Hi, in the past me and my family have had lots of pets, two of them being snakes (stimpsons python and black headed python). I am looking for a snake for myself, and saw the green tree snake. This snake is quite inpressive with its appearence, but I have seen that you cant hold it alot. I am...

I was having this discussion with my partner the other night. I have a lot of experience training other animals like dogs, cats and birds using positive reinforcement, but I was wondering if there was such a thing for snakes? Generally I use treats and physical praise for other animals, however...

I've seen a few advertisements over time from people selling reptiles in their collection they believe to be a morph or rare varient and wish to sell for big $$$$$. Often when opening the link to a pic up comes a photo of a very ordinary looking specimen of the type or just a pretty coloured...

For the past 6 months a cat from somewhere around the neighbourhood has been coming under my house, peeing and pooing everywhere and annoying my pets. I tried to catch it, find out where it lived etc, had no luck, so just had to keep chasing it away when I saw it. 5 days ago it broke into my...

Recently I have been seeing quite a few monitors for sale. They look amazing, something different to snakes and I am enjoying looking at pictures of them. Anyways I know that in Australia one of the largest pythons (is there any larger ones) that you can own (legally) is the scrub python (some...

There has been discussion on other posts about this issue. I would love to hear stories about peoples experiences on different species. I is a common perception that any snakes should not be housed together as they can & will eat each other. I have not experienced this myself, but i have seen...
