I spent like two hours setting up this shot and then learning how to use CapCut (not sponsored) to put it together so I hope y'all appreciate it. And yes his name is Tibby Snoobie cause he got dem tibbies and snoobies (snake boobies). I am so mature.

He's doing great! He's eating and pooping consistently and clearly has no issues getting around. I'm having a herpetologist take a look at him on Friday to get his opinion on the scale mutation, but no x-rays yet. Hoping to find a vet who will do them for a reduced cost cause when I had to have a different snake x-rayed it was like $300 oof.

Fresh after shed, right before her meal LMAO. She is a reticulated python, super dwarf locality mix!

My baby Shoe! Various photos of her (?) exploring her new home. Morph is charcoal palmetto according to breeder. She seemed the most curious/social out of the bunch! 🤍🖤

Photo not mine. I recently visited Clint's Reptile room and didn't expect to, but absolutely fell in love with his super dwarf retics. They were the most amazing handling experience I've ever had. I have a corn snake (and some legged lizards) that I love now but am interested in expanding my collection and my eye is definitely on one of these beauties. It's easy to find people who love them, but are there any dissenters out there? Anyone find them to not be what you wanted? I will admit, I do wish they were a tiny bit heavier bodied. I suspect it may be a slightly more intelligent corn snake experience for a while as they grow slowly. Thoughts?

She was eating fine then all of a sudden her tail looked like this and doesn't want to eat. She's a western hognose snake, around 8 inches long. Please help!

Chat, why is she mad again💔

Guess who decided to show up from the abyss? Found her peeking out from under the baseboard. How do I get her out without losing a finger?

Now twice proven Kahl sunglow girl. This is 3 months post birth.

South Africa. One of the very rare times I have found a snake in the house, this is the biggest. Released near the woodpile.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice regarding my late father’s shovel-nosed snakes.

I’m currently visiting my family here in AZ and have been taking care of his snakes while I’m here. I’ve noticed that one of them in particular is extremely skinny and is currently in the middle of shedding.

I took him out briefly, gave him some water, and let him rest on me for a little while to warm up. He seemed to look a bit better afterward, but he still isn’t moving around much in his enclosure and hasn’t shown any interest in the crickets that are in there.

I know shovel-nosed snakes have a limited lifespan, and my dad has had these little guys since at least 2019, so I’m wondering if this could simply be old age. At the same time, I’m worried that there may be something else going on, especially because he’s so skinny and seems unusually lethargic.

I’m not very experienced with caring for these snakes, so I really don’t know what the best thing to do is. It’s honestly pretty gut-wrenching to see this little guy struggling because these snakes are one of the few things I have left that remind me of my dad.

Does anyone have experience with shovel-nosed snakes or have any suggestions for what I should do for him?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ❤️

I recently acquired a speckled kingsnake, she's 6 grams and she's so tiny that I can't even feed her whole pinkies, I cut the heads and back ends off and feed to her, the mid section is too big for her to swallow (I feed frozen thawed to all my snakes). She's eaten both I think twice now? Maybe three times? And one time she didn't eat the back half. The point of this is how often am I supposed to be feeding her (pic is from when I first got her)

Poor guy was caught up in my shop on packing tape on a box, luckily I found it and massaged some oil on and worked him loose. No clue how long it’s been but it looks kinked up in one spot and hasn’t straightened out over the last two hours. (LOOK AT THE 6TH RING) Small tear on the skin in one spot but it moves around and is working the tongue a bit. I have a cap full of water. Any advice? At first I was hoping it was just stiff but now I’m worried it broke its spine

There was only soap on it for around 20 seconds, besides some residual bubbles which was sprayed off, it's been sprayed and rinsed a ton and doesn't smell like soap. Can I use it or do I toss it? Its for a boa imperator terrarium

I have a roughly 9 month old mbk and i had issues with him glass surfing so i added new decor and tried to clutter it abit more his warm side is 32degrees and the cool side is 24 so i figured it was likely a lack of hiding spaces this is what im working with now I’ve brought more wood and plants

He's doing great! He ate his second meal yesterday, which is more than can be said for the rest of his siblings lol. No issues with movement or anything - he acts just like a regular lil hognose. I'm going to take him to the next herpetology society meeting to have an experienced herpetologist take a closer look at him.

My 11.5 year old sister has been obsessed with snakes FOREVER. She's autistic and this is her passion. She had snakes plastered all over her room, she asks for a snake for every birthday.

My mom almost got her one for her last birthday, but it wasn't very well planned. The snake was full grown and a little pricey, and we ultimately decided 11 was a little young to handle the care for a snake that large.

I told her that I love that she's so passionate about snakes, but that she's a bit young and I wanted her to do more research and improve on her reading so she could read about snake care and know what to do if it got sick.

She decided, on her own accord, to start saving for a snake and writing down all the expenses to calculate a cost. We talked about the price of different species and she discussed getting a milk snake for a while, but she really wants a ball python. She had me write down a list of morphs that she's interested in (her og is a pastel banana). She has around $150 saved from doing chores.

Money is pretty tight right now, but obviously this is super impressive for an 11 year old. Is there anything I can do to help her get started? I know enough about pythons to advise her to stay away from spider morphs, but I don't know where you would go for a cheap enclosure or anything like that.
