So I'm in the process of building a snake rack, I've watched quite a few videos about them and although they all tell me about heating and all of that, none say anything about lighting. What are your opinions on lighting for a snake? Do you think they need a UVB Light?

Hello, I'm looking for some advice on a good species of snake for a first time snake owner. I've been doing research and I have many questions, not only about species but also their care and requirements. I want to make sure I know as much as I can before I take on such a responsibility. What...

Few pics of some of the 2015 hypos.

Show off your uncommonly kept or rare herps, or rare/interesting things you have found. Pics are wanted, but if you can give me evidence of rare stuff you have seen without pics then that is OK too. One of mine (well, my brother found it): Masked rock skink (Liopholis margaretae margaretae)...

Why is it that we only see 'albino Darwin carpets' as the only albino carpet pythons around. Why aren't there albino jungles or diamonds etc.?? ..could anyone answer this for me please? I just don't get it..

I came across some people selling "mix carpets" and at first I thought they were dodgy small scale but I was wrong; they have a huge following, YouTube channel etc... Only a few years ago I remember reading a devastating article about how a bunch of crossbreeds were seized and euthanised. Have...

Hi all I was holding my SWCP when I heard a little wheezing sound coming from her mouth/nostrils when she breathes. It doesn't happen on every breath but I can hear it occasionally She has shed about 2 weeks ago and I have checked for any skin flaps and cant see anything around her nostrils...

Hey Peeps I have a bit of a question regarding ways to heat my carpet python enclosures. For the record, I have a murray-darling carpet and a coastal carpet. Both enclosures consist of a melamime box, roughly 1500mmW x 600mmH x 600mmD. Currently I have been using 40W blue incandescent globes...

I posted my boa constrictor in the "Exotics" section, but this girl is something you are all familiar with. My coastal x with something. She is coming up on 2 years old June 19, and she goes about 6 feet (1.8 meters) She is taking large rats and although not as heavy as my boa, she is a click...

I love my coastal carpet, but I also have another favorite. This guy is coming up on the 6 foot mark. He's a climber and today he was out for a spin. Not the most stunning photos from my I-Phone, but it was handy. Circles and squares. He's heavy and thick, but lean and healthy too. I...

Just a question. I'm thinking of getting a black headed python, but I'm not sure of: 1. Are they able to be kept with a class 1 licence? 2. Their temperament. I don't mind if it's food oriented amd gives out feeding bites, but is it aggressive? 3. General husbandry tips. Thanks in advance...

My carpet python is coming up for a shed, (dull skin, muggy eyes etc.) He only just started getting the symptoms, and today is his feeding day, do i feed him if he is coming up to a shed? Or wait till after whenever he sheds?

My carpet python has one little scale that has come off, and im pretty worried, i don't know what caused it wether it was mites, or just hurt himself on his stick or something, he is also coming up for a shed, any ideas or tips to what has happened?

I have a Coastal Carpet Python, i haven't had him for a winter yet, and i heard snakes dont eat throughout winter, is this the case for Coastal Carpet Pythons? Will he refuse food in winter?

I have a Coastal Carpet Python and i was wondering if i can take it out the back? could he pick up parasites out on the grass?

I have been told young Coastal's only need to be in a small tub with the heat source being a heatmat alone. My question is, is this true? And if so, is it the same for Adults? If it isnt true, why do they need a heat lamp as well as a heat mat, If both make heat for the coastal? Just trying to...

Mick Dundee, Kilmore, Victoria, new to the herp gig, I have a female (I'm told) coastal carpet python that is a bit small for her age from what I can gather but she eats well so the plan is feed and grow :) Still waiting on her to take her first dump (since she's been with me) then I'm happy...

Hi all. Im after a bit of advice on feeding please. Ive previously been advised I should be feeding my coastal carpet python 10-15% of his body weight. He's now 650grams. So by that I should be feeding him around 65grams of mice. Firstly, is this right? Secondly. Mice/rats of that...

Have a coastal carpet python (female I'm told) just trying to learn the tricks of the trade, she's had her first rat (with me) about 4 days ago or so so I guess when do I feed her next? Do I turn the thermostat down as we get closer to winter (or up even) etc, not even sure I can actually :)

Hey guys, long time no post. I've just bought another leg less friend, but a bit unsure on the species. It was advertised as a centrilian/Bredli but I have doubts. He said it's 7 y/o so fully grown but it's still pretty small, maybe 1.5m. He's a beautiful snake, very placid, healthy and happy...

I've been quite interested in the head shape "in general" amongst the carpet group. One thing I'm seeing is that the albino Darwin carpets seem to posses very large jaw muscles at the rear of the head. This may be accentuated by the albinism coloring and really not a physical trait, or is it? I...

I put my male JCP with my female proserpine coastal x high yellow diamond. Obviously the outcome isn't going to be a pure breed. I was just wondering what the outcome would turn out like? Does it have a name? or what would you call the hatchies? .. jungle x coastal x diamond? or what? :) Also...
