Just curious, I know this has probably been done before (so shoot me) but I'm curious as to what everyone uses and their reasons behind it. I haven't got my stimmie yet, but plan on just using paper for now while he's in his click clack, probably paper towel anyway, just for it's ease of...

Whats the pain like when getting bitten by a large Coastal or any large Python. Can it be compared to anything such as getting bitten by a Ferret now that hurts and leaves blood. Also is there anything in reptiles that certain snake have a stronger bite than other snakes. Such as dogs they say...

Hi, I'm looking to pick up a flanged ES ceramic fitting for my custom enclosure (for 100w spot lights). I've been reading dozens of threads in here on lighting supplies and the general advice is to order through Herp Shop for $8. Thing is, I've got everything else sorted and I'm keen to get the...

Feeding 1 or 2 blueys is easy but as my collection is growing i need to come up with alternative food items, currently i feed cat food, chopped veggies and snails but as the collection grows catfood will no longer be a viable option because of the amount they can go through so what do the people...

can you get a reptile with its setup and everything for 250$ or amphibian (in WA):D

I know there are other threads that talk about substrates but I couldn't easily find one that specifically asked what I want to know. So thought I'd try to get people's specific opinions on this for both rodents and snakes. I know there are other options but these two seem to get the most...

Hey guys, Was just wondering what can be kept with a bluey (full grown) in a 4x2x2ft enclosure. And The same for a beardie baby so ill get a hatchie of whatever i can get, same enclosure size. Thank You Ps. Sorry if its been posted.

Hi I am looking for a breeder in Maryborough/Hervey Bay area. Could you please contact us on 0437 080 924 Thanks:)

I've had my blue tongue for a little over a week now, and I'm a little bit concerned about him. Since I got him, he's had a tendency to rub up against everything, and his scales have become less glossy, which leads me to think that he is coming into a shed. During this time, he ate well, and...

My partner has fallen in love with shinglebacks and to be honest i dont mind them at all myself, they are a cool lookin skink. The only specimens i can find for sale are interstate, does anyone here know of any qld breeders or anyone in qld selling?

I didn't want to steal another thread (where do they came from) but the last few posts raised some questions and thoughts. What conservation value do captive reptiles have? They can never be released to the wild (not the ones we keep and breed anyway), so how are we contributing to...

Of interest what does keeping a snake as a pet mean to you. What I mean by this is do you keep reptiles for nostalgic reasons for aesthetic reasons or entertainment etc. There has been recent forum discussion on a proposed top five wish list for hopeful species additions to the W.A licensing...
