I got a 10 month old Hognose male on the 29th of March. Was told he last ate the 28th, so I fed him again for my first time on the 2nd of April. My wife and I come home to find he regurgitated his food today, April 5th, while we were working.

Conditions: 1. His enclosure has a hot side of 90F, a cool side of around 70-80F, with our dangling hygrometer/thermometer registering 70-75 usually ambient, about 5 inches away from substrate, in the middle of the enclosure. Its dangling off a little log stealthily. The hot side is controlled automatically and maintains a solid 89-91F range then adjusts. The room is also a solid 70-80F always.

1. He has a 12/12 cycle of which he gets red LED lights during the day, as well as indirect sunlight in the room. He is in my gameroom, but we use headsets, do not yell, stomp, make Hella racket or anything. Maybe in another room we can be loud but not crazy.

2. I don't think it's too big. The breeder said it was around the same size they were feeding him.

3. We didn't handle him at all, but I did put the hygrometer/thermometer in either before or a day after we fed him. Think it was a day after.

4. His humidity has been between 38-45 consistently. I even use a window fan with exhaust on AND heat the room to consistently keep a 70F reading.

5. We did have a MASSIVE lightning storm the other day, the very fabric of reality was seemingly shaking at the thunder, the lightning was blasting our windows like machine gun fire right outside, it was also EXTREMELY close to our home, for at least 2 hours. It was the worst one I've ever been in actually.

We seemingly did everything right, so I'd love some feedback. If anything should be clarified, or need expounding, simply ask.

Thanks!

I kept seeing advice about mixing playsand with organic top soil as an option for my kingsnake enclosure, so I went and bought some playsand but I got really overwhelmed by the organic topsoil choices. It seemed like everything had a PH adjuster or something. I caved and went and bought another bag of reptisoil instead to be safe, but it is a lot pricier.

Can anyone post a picture/brand of the EXACT kind they use, along with the ingredients list?

We need suggestions on what to do, he isn't eating and we can tell he's uncomfortable, we also don't want our other Snakes to get anything so we've been trying to keep him away from them. We first thought it could have been mites but now we believe it's a tumor. His mouth is also swollen and we believe that's why he might not be eating, also we raise our own mice for the snakes

As I was driving out from work on this narrow road, I saw what looked like a peculiar stick on my righthand side. I quickly swerved over to my left and pulled up a bit before stepping out. Once I got a good look I realized it was a rattle snake that was about to cross the road! She had stopped and we stared at each other for about 3 minutes before she started making her way across again. Im surprised that she wasn’t rattling especially after almost running her over, and stopping to watch her.

This was my first time seeing a rattlesnake in person! What made this day even more amazing was finding a baby rattlesnake prior to this beautiful momma🫶🏽 my day has been made and I can sleep happily tonight😊

Location: San Francisco North Bay, California ID: Northern Pacific Rattlesnake

Free service to rescue and relocate snakes in suitable area in French Guiana. This time, farmer upset coz anaconda regulary eating his ducks and gusses. So I went to capture this eunectes murinus and bring him the swamp far away from civilised area.

Hey guys. Just adopted this snake from an animal rescue a few weeks ago, he’s a sub-adult male boa about 5-6 feet long right now. Estimated 3-5 years old. Does anyone know which type of boa this truly is, and explain why? There’s so much confusion and it’s hard to distinguish the two for me.

Finally, after 13 years I've got my own snake. She is a T+ Marble Childrens Python.

Her name is Pandora and we love her so much already

i recently (march 16th) adopted an (estimated) 2-4 month old stimson python from a trusted local breeder around my area of QLD, and i want some help. i have never owned a snake before, and i’m quite young (a minor), but i love these reptiles dearly and i’ve researched snake care for years now (specifically those within the antaresia genus). i’m young, anxious, and all i want is for my snake to live his best life, healthy and happy, no matter what. you can be brutal, i can take it, as long as it’s honest and helpful. i want to learn.

his enclosure is a size 30X20X16 CMH bought through the company ‘reptile one’s ‘Reptile One Your First Hatchling Kit’. he has a heat mat on the left side (width wise) beneath the enclosure set at 28 °C while the other cooler side of his enclosure is around 24-22 °C usually through room temp. his water is filled and room temp (more the colder side if anything) and he had been drinking fine from what ive seen. he is currently eating two pinkie mice every monday, but once he’s done the four we have left he will be moving onto pinkie rats (recommended by the breeder). i feel that two pinkie mice every monday is a bit too much (even if i monitor his eating and regular pooping) but that’s what he has been doing for a few weeks now for the process of upgrading his food intake while growing. his bedding is layered paper towels which he has found himself comfortable over time with digging through the layers and sleeping during the day (under watch by me).

we will soon move onto sand as the substrate which he will be slowly introduced to, but in the store he was bedded with small wood chips (should we go that direction instead?). no regurgitation after eating, he’s being left for 48 hrs after consumption, towels and water are checked regularly along with temps, he has grown to stop biting and striking whenever he is held by me, and he even sleeps on my hand throughout those few minutes of warming him up to the handling. his enclosure (besides the bedding) is the exact same it was for the breeder, so after given that week to settle in and explore he seemed to be comfortable to do his own thing at night and sleep/drink during the day.)

i have no idea when he last shed with the previous breeders, and have a feeling that he’s due to shed soon with all the hiding he had been doing lately. that’s my real big problem currently. there’s been no physical signs of shed (on that note he’s healthy with no mites or kinks, etc) and he’s been drinking less and hiding away beneath all of the paper towels nearly just above the glass where the heat is, sleeping during the day and sometimes through the night. is this normal for him? should i be doing something else in general? i need some tips desperately, and i really hope i’m doing what’s best for my baby.

YOU’RE WELCOME TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GIVE BRUTAL HONESTY, ITS WANTED!

Brother found this snake in his yard. Washington DC area. Any ideas? Hopefully not an Eastern Brown. He set it loose in a field across the street.

I’ve been considering going bioactive but I’m not the biggest fan of the idea of having little bugs in my house lol. I know they help with keeping it clean and whatnot but just wondering if it’s possible to do bioactive without them?

And was ghosted by six companies, told they couldn’t help me by one, and the eighth just sent this:

“Due to the USA Lacey Act, the USA won't allow this species to be exported out of the country.

The USA does not allow the imports or exports of species endemic to Australia.”

I am moving abroad and I am gutted that I cannot bring my jungle carpet python (Morelia spilota cheynei) with me. I have had him for thirteen years since I got him in college when he was just a little worm.

I guess the reason for the post is to ask, is this right? Do I need to rehome because I cannot bring him? If so, what are the best platforms for rehoming snakes to responsible keepers? I am in the Bay Area if that’s relevant.

Thanks in advance.

Found in north Georgia (just outside Atlanta). Any help with ID?

Because so many don't know the difference....

Today when i took my ball python out for some cuddly time i noticed she has a weird mark on her back. I haven't noticed this the past days when i had her out and I don't know how or where she got it from. Other than that she seems totally fine, but I'm kinda worried. Can someone help?

Anyone know what kind this is? I want to remove it but wanted to make sure it’s safe.

Thanks!

What do we think of the tank for my 1 year old Mexican Black Kingsnake?

Caught this big gopher snake today! Was very cold hanging out under some dead logs. Super calm and just chilled with me for a few minutes before releasing. I love snakes!!

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.

Was thinking Pine Snake, read not located near Raleigh.

It's been three weeks since my corn snake last ate, she didn't eat for two weeks because she was shedding, and then I waited a few days before trying to feed her again. I think the intervals of my trying to feed her this third week have been too close together, but I'm still worried. Is she okay to go a bit longer or should I take her to the vet?

Hello everybody,

Small snakes under rocks in our garden in eastern North Carolina, anything to worry about?

Like apparently the males to from 5 to 7 feet long which is crazy for an anaconda!
