I wanted my fiancé to have a little piece of Lenny with him on our wedding day, so I surprised him with custom cufflinks engraved with Lenny’s face.
Since Lenny can’t exactly attend the wedding, this felt like the perfect way to include our snake baby. They came out so cute! 🐍

She ate two days ago but insists that never happened and is waiting patiently for her rat

My first post on here.

I’ve had him a couple weeks. This is Midas, he is a banana mochi. I’m told he’s about 1-2 years old but I’m not sure.

This bitch rubbed her body all along her fresh shit and so when I entered my room after dinner and saw a long brown streak on her back, I panicked thinking she somehow got burned or something (even tho there is no way for her to)

Fast forward to me yanking her tank lid off, picked her up to inspect, just to get hit with the most foul poopy butt smell to ever grace this nose.

She did not get play time tonight.

My boyfriend found our ball python out of his enclosure last night. After hearing little things fall to the floor he was found checking out my miniature displays. He said it took him and his brother 10 minutes to get him out of my miniatures. This is his first time ever escaping. Silly snake.

Pickles got an upgrade. She is loving all of the extra space and activities! I foraged most of this, but and made some of it, including the ropes and rings and the pink castle tower ruin. I also made that dragon hide and I am damn proud of it 👏🙌

He isnt even a yr old😭

I made a post about this before, the difference now is I've realized it wasn't always so long. It used to long normal. Now I'm wondering if any of you would know why or how? He did pass from cancer and liver failure and loss alot of weight and got really flat in his fnal moments.

I'll be getting this beautiful girl at the end of the week and she'll be my first ever snake, im so excited! I have a 40gallon tank with mesh locking lid im getting for her, the breeders keep her in a tote. They mentioned the heating lamp/light might un nerve her since she's used to a heating mat. I have a ton of hides/driftwood/foliage etc on the way and I plan on giving her plenty of places to hide to help her feel more comfortable. My biggest question(s) are -

Will switching her over to overhead lights cause any negative effects?

What's the best way to help her transition to being in a tank and not overwhelm her?

What are some great tips you wish you knew sooner about owning one? I love to learn and im excited to see how i can take the best care of her!

Hey Everyone, so I recently adopted this ball python from a rescue based here in Maryland that has been rehomed twice. Upon receiving the snake, I have noticed a slight wheeze only when he is active and moving on me while also these spots being present under his chin area, they are brown almost black colored. Would you all recommend an immediate vet visit or is this something im just not used to with ball pythons as all my other snakes are colubrids.

Mr. Clam Chowder had his first shed with us!! He has one small patch retained near the bottom half of his body, but I was able to confirm his eye caps and tail tip did come off cleanly. His humidity has been around 70-74%, so I think I’m gonna aim more towards 80% and hopefully his next shed will be perfect. Gonna keep this piece and maybe put it into a small frame as a memento <33

Hi there, I have had my baby Delphi for about 3 weeks now and I'm extremely nervous. I got her from a reptile convention, and her age wasn't disclosed, but I would put her between 8 months and a year old.

I currently have her in a bioactive enclosure, and her temps sit around 85 on her warm side and 78 on her cool side, and humidity is between 60 and 80, with fluctuations throughout the day. She's been fed twice since I got her, and went blue right after her first feed. (am currently feeding her weekly, but skipped when she went blue) She's been taking food great, but over the last 3 or 4 days she's been getting extremely aggressive, and hasn't been exploring much or leaving her hide. We have also had two bite instances. One was the day before feed day, so we assumed it was a hunger bite, but she bit defensively today when we took her out for some socialization.

When we first got her she was exceptionally cuddly, was happy to snuggle up on my lap and just lay there for an hour, but now I'm worried about even opening her tank. I also haven't been able to find any poops and I'm starting to be worried about constipation or impaction, though I'm unsure what would cause that. She has a large bowl of water that gets changed out regularly, but I've never seen her drink. She's also been yawning a LOT the last couple days, I assumed it was just her resetting her jaw, but it's been once every two hours for the last 36 hours. I'm just concerned and worried.

Is there something I'm missing? A health concern or maybe her hormones as she moves more into her teenage years? Is she maybe just bite-y from a lack of socialization over the last three weeks? Please help!!!

This little one is in Petsmart near Albany. Poor guy needs help. Bad shed, possible scale rot on his nose, his skin is slack. His holding cell had no hygrometer/thermometer.

I would take him in, but I don’t have the quarantine space and my wife would divorce .

Darker marks, is it scale rot?.

My partner’s bioactive enclosure is going phenomenally with humidity and in every regard. It’s more work with BPs than other reptiles to ensure they stay well, but still very worth it to me in making a switch. So I’m finally making another enclosure (awesome priced enclosure from Cryptic Creations) that is bioactive.

I breed my springtails and isopods, have a couple more plants to add and a large driftwood branch. Does anyone have critique/ideas on placement and decorations as this tank settles for a few months? Temps and humidity will be locked in far before the snake moves obviously, and an x-large water dish is about to be added as well.

Just got this GHI Butter Mojave what do you think about this morph?? it is my first BEL

any criticism is WELCOMED!! i have been researching non stop since i got her and i have wanted some experienced snake keepers to comment on my tank of what i should add or remove

Finally starting to see the benefits of automation and bioactive around a year after setting up my first bioactive. My BP seems to enjoy it alot more especially the changing scenery with the plants (just got rid of a vine and added a new vine species and fern in pics). Im still learning alot when it comes to reptile keeping even after having my BP for almost 2 years, but its been a fun process. Feel free to ask me anything! (Also yes ik my snake is chubby, just adjusted feeding periods)

Sorry, you’ll have to zoom in a bit to see. The little cave is back to its proper side and not in the water lol this was a photo the previous owner had sent us when we were inquiring about him.
Anyway, this is all he has, a big water bowl and a single little cave. We do plan on getting a way bigger enclosure so he can climb and have plants, but for now we just want to make it more enjoyable as we have to save up some money for that.
Any suggestions?
