Just a couple pics of a 2ft+ little tiger that I took while releasing him. Tipped the bin over and he was kinda enough to take his time moving on so I grabbed a couple shots: The most beautiful tiger I've caught so far and by far the most docile.

After reading the recent discussion on feeding I thought I'd also offer chicken necks to some of my animals. It's the first time any of them have been offered anything other than rodents so I was curious to see what kind of response it got. I offered them to 10 snakes, 8 of which took them...

Does anyone else have a dumb snake ?? I have a 21 month old Stimmie and I swear he's as thick as a brick when it comes to feeding. He has adult mice and no matter how I present it to him, he'll always go for the bum first.....I can point the head in his direction, but no....he has to check out...

I've had people tell me so adamantly that carpet pythons are amazing, placid snakes and others say that they have a snappy, mean temperament. I know it usually depends on the snake, but generally, what's the carpet temperament usually like? Compared to smaller snakes like spotteds and childreni?

:)HI. Just wanting others opinions on elapid keepers getting bitten/envenomated? Is it exceptable or does anybody beleive that it just shouldn't happen with correct husbandry. also do you think that someone who has been bitten be able to "EDUCATE" others or even keep their licence? I've never...

Hey guys, thought I'd ask you knowledgeable folk for some ID assistance. Herps aren't my area of expertise, so I'm not entirely sure what this guy here is. It's probably an easy one, but if it helps, this was photographed near Renmark, S.A. Cheers Rich
