Guessing you live in Oz?? If so, you have some really awesome python species down there.FitGirl0123 wrote: »I had to look that one up. Hadn't even heard of candino morph lol
It is a heteroallelic combo of the Albino and Candy morphs. I like them because (so far) they seem to stay lighter and retain their purpleish hue instead of taking on the tan colour of the pure Candy. And I have always been into Albinos. So having both alleles present means I can fold them into my breeding projects and always end up with something cool0 -

Hey you kooky snakesters! You guys should sign up for the Python Challenge. Hunting pythons to remove them from Florida's Everglades. Apparently they don't belong there. They slithered over from Southeast Asia and are screwing up the ecosystem.
The Burms there were inadvertently released when hurricane Andrew hit an import warehouse. Sadly, this fact is ignored by the animal rights groups and politicians who, instead, have used the rhetoric of "evil" snake keepers setting them free as an excuse to instigate bans on them. Do not get me wrong, the Burms are an invasive species and do need to be dealt with. But they are strictly a south Florida problem and should be dealt with as such. They do not require a country wide ban against themsummerkissed wrote: »@WYMANT0004 yes I live in Australia but I live in the little island state way down south..no Pythons here only Tiger Snakes, Copperheads and Whip Snakes and we have lots of them mainly tigers the other 2 are very shy
@summerkissed Yes, I can see how that would be a bit more challenging for keeping.0 -

@moyer566 Go for both
Hognose for the days you want to deal with something spunky and a ball python for the days you want to deal with something that is pretty much a rock with scales 1 -

@moyer566 lol my beardie does not like my ball python at all0

I adore snakes and rescue them from being on the road whenever possible. I wouldn't keep one because I wouldn't like feeding it.0

So happy to hear of another who saves them off the road. So many people intentionally hit them. It's so sad! I don't keep any wild snakes either, only captive bred snakes. Feeding is actually not bad. I feed all mine frozen/thawed0 -
@FitGirl0123 You might want to submit that first picture with location data to your local DNR/FWS, that animal looks like it might have SFD. I know that disease has become a bit of a concern and if you are somewhere that it has not previously been reported it would likely help to have the report
@lithezebra As Fit mentioned, feeding frozen/thawed can make it easier but there is also a new product out called ReptiLink that are basically sausages designed for reptile diets and many species take them very well.0 -
I had a ball Python and loved her so much. I think my love of snakes came from my science teacher in Jr high he had so many animals he kept at the school one of them being a 12 ft long Boa constrictor0

what's the longest hunger strikes your snakes have ever been on? I'm curious who takes the crown on this one lol my stubborn BP is still refusing food. moved her into a spare bedroom and cranked the heat up last night to get her temps a little higher and humidity up to see if that helps. she's going on 5 months now

@FitGirl0123 neither did mine. she tried ot make a couple of strikes.0
-
@michaela_g09 I had a ball python go on hunger strike for 13 months. As long as the animal looks healthy and is not rapidly losing weight then I would not stress it overly much0
-
she looks fine and I'm not stressing it much but just wish she would get back to her routine lol0

It's actually just mud from him just coming out of hibernation.0 -

My hoggie is the only one of my snakes that ever gives me any trouble. She's gone a couple of months without eating before. She usually eats for a few weeks then goes off food for couple months then repeats. Seems to be no rhyme or reason for it, and she's very tiny at 2 years old because of it. The rest of my snakes are monsters and never miss a meal n0
