eBay scam help! Urgent

[J-A-X]

. really getting on my nerves as I was gunna pick it up tomorrow then go grab my new bredli hatchling

Make sure you have the tank disinfected, set up and run it for a week or two before putting an animal in it, you never know if the wiring is dodgy and could overheat -possibly injuring your snake or burning the house down.....

Yer mate got that bit sorted and already got a temporary click clak set up its just I'd rather have it all ready before I buy the snake

That enclosures a bit big for a 10 month old....I had my 10 month in a 40cm high 20cm width and length enclosure. He was happy in there He should be happy in the click clack until you get the enclosure set up with heat, hides, climbing branches, etc. If you put in heaps of decorations (vines/fake plants) and hides he should be set to go in that enclosure

^^^The big one your buying...just in case you were unsure I mentioned 3, should have clarified

 

[Danieljohn96]

Ok thank you how long can he stay in the enclosure I'm getting?

 

[sharky]

It depends how fast he/she grows. If it is a female (they get larger) then the move will be sooner. I haven't got experience with large bredlis I only have a yearling myself I am going to house my 2yr old in a 6ftx2ftx2ft (HxLxW). So he could probably stay in that for another year or so? Please correct me if I am wrong guys.

Oh, and bredlis are arboreal. They prefer height over length. They will appreciate the height and climbing spaces/perches. etc.

 

[Danieljohn96]

If I feed it say 1 every ten days will that determine the size or alter it and make it not gow as large

 

[J-A-X]

You should feed sufficient food on a regular basis to maintain a heathy animal. Altering feed patterns to either increase or slow growth rate is not in the animals best interest !

 

[Danieljohn96]

Ok well most care sheets and from various people I've spoken to there answer has been to feed them once every 7-10 days is that correct?

 

[sharky]

You can but alter the snakes growth by less feeding but I wouldn't reccommend it. Although 10 days is the average ammount of days for a bredli of that age. I still feed mine every 7 days and he sheds once a month or evry month and 1 week. Bredlis are a medium snake though growing up to 2.4m on average and you wouldn't get them much smaller than 2.2m. Even at this size they still require a large enclosure. A 4ftx2ftx2ft (HxLxW) are the minimal requirements for an adult bredli. I just like to give my snakes extra space to roam
Feeding should be as:
Juveniles(3-11months): Every 7-10 days
Yearlings: Every 7-10days (depending on prey size)
Adults: Every 2 weeks (Or more depending on prey size)

Correct me if I am wrong...

Ok thanks for the help

 

[sharky]

Welcome! Good luck with your new little friend

I'm the one that swoops in the last 10-5 seconds and steals your items = D haha. Welcome to eBay..... Got a pic of the enclosure ?

 

[KaotikJezta]

That is called shill bidding and is grounds for suspension on ebay. People that do that suck and sorry, but I hope your mates get busted. If your worried you wont get the price you want then start the item at a higher price. Ebay has made it very hard to catch shill bidders by making the buyers name anonymous but I have caught and reported a few shill bidding scams over the years.

 

[Tsubakai]

What is??? Bidding in the last few seconds???

She was referring to a post that has now been deleted.

 

[Zanks]

Ok, makes more sense now, only a bit though.
Its gettin hard to comment properly when there are so many posts being deleted.
The new mods are certainly earning their keep (no Im not bagging you....... or am I ....)

Depends, are you?

While not really my normal self to justify my actions, I can see how my edit & deletion they may have caused confusion and prompted you to write that post so I apologise for that. My justification for deleting your post above however was that the post could have been avoided by reading the edits and posts

Anywhoo, carry on kind folks...
