[Lulu Bennett]

chloe, they are bootiful!!! im not sure if a want a male or female. i better start building a tank really hadn't i!! how big are they when they are born??

[adamanteus]

Lulu, you can kind of tell from the newpaper substrate how big the babies are, I guess about 24"? Don't forget though, when you're building your tank, these little babies grow real quick!

They are nice looking aren't they? I'm a little bit tempted myself!:rolleyes:

[Josh]

I mean you can tell there gonna get big. The one baby on the far right looks like he is on steroids ( no clue on spelling)

Just read another thread, where there were baby ribbons born. Then I read this thread.

And it occurred to me that here we have "Ribbons and Boas"

:D :D

And it occurred to me that here we have "Ribbons and Boas":D :D

Haha! Brilliant!:)

All babies are doing well and hissing at me already. They are big babies they were very over due, I think they are between 20 and 24 inches.

my son said that's cool!

All babies are doing well and hissing at me already.

Just this morning I was thinking about all these silent snakes and how I have not heard any of mine hiss. I was beginning to think hissing snakes were a myth (only kidding). But can be a bit of a disadvantage that you usually can't hear so many kinds, you'd have no idea if you stepped on one and hurt it for example.

So, stupid question... do garters and corns hiss?

[adamanteus]

I don't remember hearing my Garters hiss, others may know different. The biggest (loudest) hissers I've known are Cobras, very, very loud! Grass snakes hiss quite a lot when you first catch them too.

[Sputnik]

I bet it sounds impressive. Will have to find out someday. Corns are amazing rattlers when they're unhappy but I don't remember having heard them hiss.

[adamanteus]

The problem for we Brits is that we never see a Garter (or a Corn) in the wild. So we can't really know if they hiss when they're first captured.

[Sputnik]

I feel deprived. Why do we have so few kinds of snakes here? The climate? Though I guess many of the snakes that we only keep in captivity could possibly survive in this weather. Not that I'd like to test this theory.

[adamanteus]

Guess so. The "climate" has been so grim lately, it's a wonder we have anything other than ducks!!

[Sputnik]

I have plenty of frogs in the garden. Even in my washing up bowl of a pond! It really is just an old washing up bowl. Better than nothing I guess.


Sorry, Chloe, we seem to have derailed your thread.:o

[Lulu Bennett]

do garters and corns hiss?

i am pretty sure i have heard both of mine hiss...or could be a sigh lol not too sure but it made a noise when it was sat my shoulder

[ScimitarX]

Our northern pine snakes can hiss very loudly,usually while they are eating or in shed and wego near them. My Albino Checkered also hisses at me, shes quite feisty, dunno if shes not been handled much before i got her, but she had babies with her previous owner end of 06 beginning 07 and has a big appetite so i think she expects me to feed her all the time even though you couldnt tell shes hd babies by looking at her.

[GarterGuy]

Congrats on the new little boas! I know I say this every time, but there is just something really cute about baby snakes!:D
