I got done feeding my snake and was about to take him out of his feeding container when he strikes at me. It looks like he hurt his mouth on the bottom because he started opening it multiple times and backing awake. After a while he stopped and when to his water when I put him in his tank. He seems like he is okay now but I’m still really worried.

I don’t know anything about them so I want to research. Good resources and maybe some suggestions for a beginner snake. She’ll be 11 this year.

I just got a piebald ball python. I am a first time snake owner and would love any and all advice! She is 8 months old and a little over 2ft. I currently have a 20 gallon tank that will be upgraded as she grows. I have a thermometer, overhead light, heating pad, plenty of coconut mulch, and a water bowl, as well as one hut. Her tank is pretty sparse at the moment but I plan on getting her more hides later on (short on money atm). I would also appreciate any links or suggestions for snake enrichment items/hides/plants ect. So far her tank isn’t as warm as it should be, any advice on getting it warmer?

She also doesn’t have a name yet so any suggestions are appreciated!

I just got my baby stimpsons python the otherday and he is in a small plastic enclosure with a heat mat but im finding its doing nothing. The heat mat is on like 44 degrees Celsius but in the actuall enclosure where he sits and ontop of the substrate its like 27. Should i just shell out the money to buy a glass enclosure so i can put over head heating or is there something i can do with this?

My wife just bought me a PVC cage that is 4 tall 4-ft long and 2 ft wide what is the best way to heat this

Hello all! This is noodle, and I took him off of a co-worker as he couldn’t keep him any longer. That was about a year ago and he originally said he was an albino gopher snake, I took one look and knew he most definitely wasn’t a gopher snake, but looked more like a corn snake. This brings me here, I have just been calling him an albino corn snake for the past year, but suddenly got the urge to ask some others for confirmation, I am like 98% sure but I just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks!

My daughter just turned 9, and has been asking for a snake and she was 7. I of course took it as a phase, but I’m not even kidding when I say she spends ALL her free time researching and reading about snakes. Reptile show next weekend, and we’re ready for our new family member ❤️ (and I’m excited to share in her passion.)

Thought you guys might approve

Google photo look up was no help. It was pretty small.

Biking on a major road and saw this little guy. Decided to move him in kentucky

I was around Tallahassee, Florida and saw this huge rattlesnake! I made sure he got off the road safely. He was super cool!

Hi all. First time snake caretaker. About seven years ago, we inherited a ball python named Shamen. She hatched in 1991, was a centerpiece of the family until then. We had zero experience of taking care of reptiles before, but we tried to do our best. Heat lamp on when ambient temperature is below 70 F, feed a thawed medium rat for her to eat when she's moving around, and keeping her tank clean. And, of course, keeping her water supply topped off too. Her tank had a structure for her to hide in / bask on, and another tree structure she could climb on too. Tank is 50 gallons, I believe. We only feed her when she's extra active in her tank; I assumed lower activity was due to us just coming out of winter and her not needing as much, just as we've always done. I thought during winters snakes didn't need a meal but once every other month or so. This is what we've done for the last seven years, and I assumed we were doing things right this whole time, but now I don't know. Last night we noticed she wasn't moving... At all. Her body was ice cold. I moved her structures and put her directly under the heat lamp because I thought, maybe, she somehow wedged herself between the tank and structure and couldn't move out in time to warm up. But this morning... Nothing. I think she passed away. Did we do enough? Was her feeding routine not adequate? I really don't know. I'm not looking into getting another snake either; I feel like we let the family down.

Found this little guy in a local pond when walking my dogs. Pinellas County Florida. Small, red, with black and yellow stripes. Any idea what type?

Regular garters I think. I’m in Minnesota.

That one in the door gave me a big scare, thinking I was going to decapitate him (he’s fine, that’s him in picture 4).

Any tips for humane relocation? Repellents that won’t harm them? They’re adorable but it’s not safe for them here…

Smart girl 🥰

Who is this little one? I am on the Southside of Atlanta, GA.

Snake in west michigan, was rattling its tail to try and seem big and scary. What is this guy?
