    @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.

    Thanks for the reptile feeding tips, @FitGirl0123 and @WYMANT0004

    Lmao good luck with that. Only way I can manage is by leaving money at home and I just won't do it lol

    Well, I managed to do it. Bought a ton of supplies and tank decor but no animals... Not that my kid did not try her damnedest to acquire another hognose and a new species of gecko but I convinced her that with all the eggs on the ground and on the way that we had our hands more than full enough

    I don't have a snake currently but I really, really want a ball python. If I ever get one, it's name with either be Muffin or Nagini. I see no other options.

    Snakes are cool. I like those limbless reptiles but birds on the other hand. Hell to the no

    Well, when you decide to bite the bullet drop me a line and I will try to point you to a reputable breeder in your area

    I have a couple more clutch pics I can put up, need to upload them though so it will have to wait until tonight

    And in another 30 days or so I should be able to start posting pics of hatchlings

    This thread makes me so happy.
    I don't have any now, but used to have a pueblan milk, named Louise (first to get the reference wins a prize), and a California King named Ophelia. Our resident has a ball python named Israel, but we don't have room for one that big so he lives with her mom. Got to meet our yard snake just last weekend - a lovely black rat. I named him Sam. Hope he eats all the moles.

    I have an apricot pueblan milk named Lexie. Love her to pieces!

    I can dig em. They're super cool, I'd love to eventually get one as a pet. My fiancé's sister has a red tailed boa, he's gorgeous!

    @jader8993 If you do go for a boa I advocate doing a bit of research on the species/subspecies before picking one up, some of them can get pretty large and it is best to know what you are getting into before hand rather than being unpleasantly surprised a couple years down the road

    LOL I love that defensive position, all attitude but nothing more than bluster (hogs are great for that too)

    There's some excellent photography in this thread. I like snakes. The husband decidedly does not, so no snakes for me (and I'm really bad at taking care of pets anyway), but I'm fascinated by them. Had no idea about all the possible breeding combos before reading this thread, I find that really interesting. In for more pics!

    Got to hold a sunbeam snake today. First time seeing one in person. It was awesome!
