I had a dog once....when I was younger. He and I were best freinds for a long time. He was hit by a car when I was 14 years old. I never got over it, never had a dog since.

[Lori P]

Oh James! That's very rough indeed... but it's my personal opinion that you should certainly try again. The losses are more painful than words can say, but the joy and the love and the fun and adventures make the inevitable worth it. The smiles they give you everyday are such a gift. (Oh, and occasionally there are other gifts they give you too, but we'll skip that part for now... LOL!!!!!)

[adamanteus]

Thankyou Lori. I still think about him (his name was Bilko), 33 years later. But if I ever had another one I would be comparing it to him all the time, and that wouldn't be fair. I've never seen such unquestioning loyalty, not even in my wives! He was a one-off! Bless him.

[drache]

James you can't expect a wife to live up to a dog - or vice versa
it's like apples and oranges
and you'd never compare dogs as you would wives
each and every dog is perfect - except for the shed
it doesn't come off in one piece and gets all over your stuff

Lori
that horse was truly special
I am sad with you

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

I have a cockapoo that has hair and doesnt shed :)

I dunno Rhea... I compare the dogs to the hubby all the time. LOL And he usually comes up lacking... :D And what's more, he knows it...

Just kidding. I love my hubby, he puts up with a LOT of crap from me!!!!!!!:D

[drache]

my soon to be hubby was born in the year of the dog, so I get the two-in-one deal - except it's not necessarily the best of both (case in point - shedding)

[Lori P]

Er... your hubby to be sheds?? :p

[drache]

yup
he sheds as bad as any dog
but unlike a dog, he does clean up after himself

[enigma200316]

I haven't yet compared the Dog and the wife, notice I said yet...lol
but I have with the Dog and the kids........:D

[adamanteus]

James you can't expect a wife to live up to a dog -

I was only kidding! Just trying to lighten the mood!:D

Yeah,sure........you probably just said this because she read the post and yelled at you!!!;);)

Thought you have a reptile collection, James.
Do you have a wife collection too or did I miss the meaning?

[drache]

good call, Udo
yeah, James - what's up with that
for the record - I thought they were consecutive, rather than concurrant, but the wording does leave room for speculation

Feel free to speculate.:D

Your life would be tedious indeed if you looked to me for experiences...... I get up, I go to work, I go to bed, I get up, I........

[drache]

just like me
but everyday experiences are a little different for everyone
we all live from a slightly (or vastly) different point of view
while your external life may seem pedestrian, your interests are not and you've got a different set of experience and a viewpoint of your own
I do admit that I find members of this forum generally interesting
I live vicarously through Lulu and Don and KitKat and everybody as well
but since I don't know you all in the flesh, I must admit that a good deal is made up

[adamanteus]

Make up a really exciting and glamourous life for me, Rhea. One where work isn't mandatory and bills are never a problem. Make me taller and younger. Sometimes I could rescue young women from dangerous situations. I could give profound and moving speeches, addressing all the major world issues. Maybe I could be a super-hero......

Say 'hello' to our newest family member.....

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//538/medium/Snowflake.jpg

This is 'Snowflake', Mollys' new kitten!

[anji1971]

Awwww, what a cutie!!
Decidedly un-snowflakey in appearance, but cute!:D

[Sputnik]

Oh, James, she is sooooo beautiful! What a great name, too!

Look at our little Janosch, he's 6 weeks old now and still with his siblings. He's my cat, Milka's grandson and Rosina's nephew. :D Oops, I've just realised I have already told you about him. Sorry, just so excited!

Good boy is growing beautiful longish fur, making him look like a little fluffy fox.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/MrsSputnik/DSC01334.jpg

[adamanteus]

He looks like a little Gremlin! Lovely!
By the way, Snowflake isn't a she... he's a tom.

[Sputnik]

Sorry, Snowflake. How old is HE? :D

Janosch's sister is called Gizmo, so the Gremlin connection is definately there.

[Lori P]

Very cute kitty James! Snowflake, huh... boy, he's going to get teased a lot about that at school... :-)

[Rook]

ok, I am down one dog(Blair, he went to a new heavily dog experinced home in Alberta) and I am up 5 Gerbils lol, soonm to be more, as SC is due at the end of the month.

Awesome pics everyone!

For Christmas my boyfriend and got 2 kittens. The first one's Caspian, he's only a lil over 2 months old.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/brockley2/IMG_3673.jpg

The other's one's name is Meekay, she's about 3 months old. That's Caspian peeking out behind her. :)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/brockley2/IMG_3742.jpg

Also I have hermit crabs, although sadly they've been buried for most of the winter. 2 of them just molted, the other day I got some good pics of Leela:

[Charlet_2007]

i had one of those sadly it died because i didn't know how to take care of it:(:(... but it was cool while it was here...

[tikichick]

Great pics :) I think I just fell in love at first sight with Caspian :D I like your crabs, very pretty!

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

i heard that sometimes if you wink to a gerbil they wink back, is this truee?

[drache]

how do you keep those crabs alive
they're the only critter I've tried keeping that I've had absolutely no success with

[mycolorfulheart]

the crabs are pretty finicky actually. i got them because they were supposed to be this really easy pet, but it's just the opposite! They need lots of humidity, high temps, exercise...I love the ones I have but I don't see myself getting more, just because I think they're one animal that doesn't take well to domestication. Just the stress of being in captivity is enough to stop them from breeding, and it's that same stress that usually kills them.

[mycolorfulheart]

I have a question for all the people with pics of their snakes interacting with other animals/snakes outside/etc. - my garter is so flighty, i would never trust her not to run away! Do you just have much more mellow snakes?

[tikichick]

I totally agree. I have no idea why they say they're an easy pet. My roommate had four- 2 died after about a year, another one died a week after she got it, and there's one left (that she didn't take when she moved, so I'm stuck with it, lol).

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

you guys are having trouble with hermit crabs? i had 4 when i was like 6 and they all lasted like 3 years and at that time i had absolutely no idea how to do anything else besides feeding them and cleaning the cage, they were really fun because you could get a larger shell and paint it and theyd move into it

[drache]

I have a question for all the people with pics of their snakes interacting with other animals/snakes outside/etc. - my garter is so flighty, i would never trust her not to run away! Do you just have much more mellow snakes?
I'd say it's the exception rather than a common occurrence
we had a couple very old and sedate cats who were fine with the herps
I have some garters that are mellow enough to be taken to the outdoors, but I've only done it once to photograph them
when I see people with snakes out and about, they're boids

[Rook]

i heard that sometimes if you wink to a gerbil they wink back, is this truee?

lol cant say I have ever winked at a Gerbil in the first place, so I havent a clue :p

[adamanteus]

I exchanged an 'eyebrow flash' with a monkey once.... that was weird!

[Lori P]

Cats do the "eye kiss"... blink very slowly at them and they blink very slowly back.. but gerbils, I have no clue. I've been in there winking at my mice and they just glare at me... LOL :-)

Phoebe vs Slithers :o

[Stefan-A]

There's absolutely no doubt about what that cat has in mind. :D

Maybe this smilie was a bit unnecessary..

[drache]

I've come to understand that our old cats were just too old and lazy
our new cats are young and energetic
and as far as they're concerned, it's a cat-eat-herp world
for Sienna it may be "play with and kill", but I have no doubt, that Rascal would eat whatever he killed - he ate a super worm a few days ago
so now I have to make my cages cat-proof too
Jeff's mom thinks Rascal will figure out how to open the sliding glass doors on the lizard cages

Whats a super worm?
Great pic

[tikichick]

Zophobas morio, it's a darkling beetle larvae. Zophobas morio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superworm)

They've got big pointy teeth :eek: lol

I feed them to my bearded dragon, uromastyx, savannah monitors, and emperor scorpion.

[garterchick]

that does not sound like something i'd want to keep.

[salzar]

wow a super worm sounds like my sal would run to parts unknown ... to funny. cool cat too , to bad my husband is alergic to them.

[drache]

yeah
superworms look a bit like giant mealworms
and they do bite
today Rascal ate a big beetle - weird

Hi Lori, That individual ground snake was the first one documented in Lassen county ca., and the first one I ever found period.

Here's some info on ground snakes. Sonora semiannulata semiannulata - Variable Groundsnake (http://www.californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/s.semiannulata.html)See that little red dot on the northern part of the range map? Thats from this little guy- last year. See if any of those pics look familiar.

Rubber boas are awesome snakes also. Super laid back.

[anji1971]

Nice little collection, Loren!! I also think the rubber boa is pretty cool-- how big do they get?

[Lori P]

Oh cool!! I spotted your pic right off. :-) That one tiny little dot on the map is hilarious. I like these little snakes. Thanks for the info on them!!!


Nice little collection, Loren!! I also think the rubber boa is pretty cool-- how big do they get?

... and are they, well, rubbery??:D

[Loren]

Nice little collection, Loren!! I also think the rubber boa is pretty cool-- how big do they get?

Rubber boas max out at 33 inches long but typically are more like 15-25 inches (35-84 cm), with males tending to be at the bottom of that size range, and females more toward the larger end. My female is about 21 inches, and 135 grams. The like it cooler than other snakes- I keep them in sterilite tubs on the bottom shelf (cooler location) without any extra heat. They can be active in the wild down to 50 degrees farenhite.
They are constrictors, mainly rodent eaters. In the wild, they seem to like to raid rodent nests, and if they are attacked by the mother mouse, they hide their head, and take the very blunt tail (which looks like their head) and strike with it. When I caught my female, she actually had scars on her tail that seemed to confirm this.
They live in moist habitats moistly, and can be found under bark and other surface cover, or occasionally crawling around at night.
They are very docile. I have never heard of one biting anyone.
Charina bottae - Coastal Rubber Boa (http://www.californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/c.bottae.html)

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

I found this on the internet they do wink if you wink at them

Body language Body language is the most important way of communication by Mongolian gerbils. Below here you will find a short summary of different kind of body language by Mongolian gerbils.

Greeting
Mongolian gerbils greet one another by licking each other's mouth; they recognise each other through the taste of their saliva. Another way of greeting is touching each other's noses.
You can see at the right-hand picture how it looks like. The picture is taken by Petra van der Meiren.

http://www.petermaas.nl/gerbils/images/gerby-wodan.JPG
Peaceful
When Mongolian gerbils are on its ease they will wash themselves. They wash their face, belly, back, and also their tail by holding it with their front feet.
Excitemen
An excited Mongolian gerbil jumps with all four feet in the air. Sometimes two gerbils are boxing with their front feet. Mostly this boxing is a game, but can also be very serious.
Fear
When a Mongolian gerbil is afraid it sits straight up, as frozen, with it front paws together like praying.
Curious
Mongolian gerbils are curious animals. When he is curious he will sit straight up as in fear, but the gerbil looks relaxed. It snuffles in the air, with trembling whiskers, and moves his head back and forth.


http://www.petermaas.nl/gerbils/images/nieuwsgierigegerbil.jpg
Asking to be groomed
When a Mongolian gerbil wants to be groomed, it will roll on its back in front of another gerbil, offering his throat. The other gerbil can rarely resist such a gesture, and will groom its partner. This isn't just a way to be cleaned, but also to keep good social relations. When your gerbils groom each other very often it means that everything is going well in the group.
I want to be left alone
An irritated gerbil will push another gerbil (or your hand away with its head.
Ready to fight
When Mongolian gerbils are ready to fight, they will push each other with their heads, and then start a real box and wrestling match.
Eye winking
At last I want to have it about the eye winking with one eye that Mongolian gerbils often do. It seems to be a sign of pleasure and gratitude, and they do this often when they get some tasty tidbits. In other timid situations, it seems to be a submissive sign. You can try it yourself. When you wink to a gerbil, the gerbil will often wink back.

[ssssnakeluvr]

rubber boas will actually fend off mother mice with their tail while eating the litter of pinkies. got a friend here in utah that knows tons about them and his dad is probably the top expert on them. havea cool website...tons of info on them, very nice snakes! just looked for his page.. The Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) Information Portal (http://www.rubberboas.com) nothing came up....:confused: not sure what happened with the site.

Just a guess- Richard and Ryan? Hoyer ?

[ssssnakeluvr]

Yep!!! Haven't met Richard yet, but have met Ryan a number of times. Nice guy! He can walk up into the foothills here and pick up rubber boas left and right...I have only been able to find one...and unfortunately it was road killed.....

[Loren]

I have never met the Hoyers, but am very familiar with their research.
It took me about 3 years of trips to the sierras to find my first. I flipped over this little piece of bark in this beautiful meadow, and there she was.
http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/Mountain_meadow.JPG
For some reason, I have pics of the meadow, but not of the snake that day. I think I was too exited to care about taking pictures.
Probably one of my most memorable finds, since it was such a nice area, nice day, and awesome snake, that I had wanted to find for so long.
I found a male while night driving the next year. Thats it for me so far.

What a beautiful looking meadow... good enough for the Nature Photography Thread!:)

I finally have some pics of the dog of my parents :).

Taking a picture is very disturbin though for her, looks almost that we want to mistreat her. Always the ears down and she's 10x more beautiful with her ears up...

[drache]

she's beautiful dog
and you're right - more beautiful with her ears up
I can tell

[Snaky]

Thanks rhea :)

[Lori P]

Awww, Hans, she is just beautiful. And such a kind eye. :-)

[Snaky]

She comes from the animal shelter. She probably had a hard time, because the first months that we had her, she was very quit and very easily scared ( just raising your voice was enough for her to crawl into a corner). But she's a real sweety towards everyone.

Only 1 little disadvantage, she never learned to play. So if you trow a stick, she's like "What the hell are you doing??? Go get it yourself, that's no fun". On the other hand, she loves to go for a run with you :)

[Lori P]

Aw. So many of the rescue dogs don't know how to play. Or maybe it's that she's decided fetching is below her... you may need to get her a dog of her own to fetch for her. :-)

[SerpentGirl]

She is very pretty. :)

[enigma200316]

here's my doggy........:)

Very handsome Justin! Boston Dane?

[enigma200316]

Very handsome Justin! Boston Dane?

Great Dane....................

[Lori P]

Right, I mean, her coloring is a boston... we had one, Dezi, for several years. Such a big goofy snuggle bug!! Lost her to bloat, even tho we did all the things you're supposed to do... she was a doll.

[enigma200316]

well I'm not sure, all I know is her mother was black and her father was harlequin, she's a pure breed, and the family line has never had any problems what so ever....................:)

[enigma200316]

oh yeah, and she is 5yrs and we've had her since 7wks, and her birthday is the same as my sons...........:)

[Snaky]

A fantastic dog, Justin. I love those great Dane's!

[tikichick]

Nice pics, yall :)

[enigma200316]

here's another cute pic of my big baby.......:)

nice dog there, i always loved Danes, but i dont think im gettin one anytime soon, a wound up Golden retreiver and a restless 5 year old are all the family pets we need.

I hear that, she can be a pain sometimes, but hey so can I.......lol:D

[reptileparadise]

two months and 4 days old...
and the reason for my absence lately :)

[Rook]

I gather by Bosten you are refering to Mantel? in any case that Dane is just plain old Black. the white bits on the chest and toes are just a normal pigment thing that often happens in Black animals :p Mantel or Bosten is a very specific pattern that looks very much like the colouring on a Bosten Terrier. Black is well, Black with possable white markings on the chest and toes, which is acceptable but not prefered.

your pup is adorable Reptileparadice!

[GarterGirl]

This is my cutie Rascal, our 6 month old kitty.
How big do you think he'll grow?
He's 10 pounds now.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2217/2270643371_0b81a706f9_b.jpg

[Lori P]

Oh heavens! Are you sure he's only 6 months? He's a monster!!

[GarterGirl]

Yes, 6 months old!

[Lori P]

That's going to be an 18 pound cat-- that's my prediction!!!!

Ok, off to go feed the critters outside. Whish me luck that no goat butts me and no piggy knocks me down. Last week was one of those weeks around here!!!

[GarterGirl]

I think more. Well, we'll see.

Ok, I'll wish you luck! *crosses fingers* :D

And our newest edition, Simon the corn snake.:)

[adamanteus]

I like the look of Bruno... in the UK ear cropping is illegal, so we can't achieve that look.

[GarterGirl]

Nice pics!

[Pinky]

Thanks James, we love him to death!!!I've seen both cropped and uncropped Dobes and we opted for the cropping.They just aren't dobes without it!:)

[adamanteus]

Thanks James, we love him to death!!!I've seen both cropped and uncropped Dobes and we opted for the cropping.They just aren't dobes without it!:)

I agree, I think they look great cropped. If we could crop, I might be tempted!:)

[Pinky]

Is it legal to import a cropped dobe?

[adamanteus]

Is it legal to import a cropped dobe?

I don't know.... they are very rarely seen in the UK.

[Lori P]

I loooove dobies.... two of my most precious friends were dobies. Bruno sure is a handsome fella!!!!

I think cropping is going pretty out of style here too... at least around here, you can't find vets to do it anymore. I love the look of cropped dobies, tho... wonder why they couldn't have ever been bred with stand up ears?? I like boxers and danes natural, but dobies kind of look like hound dogs with long floppy ears... awesome awesome dogs tho!!!!

[Lori P]

Oh, forgot-- Simon is really, really pretty!!

[GarterGirl]

That Bruno sure is cute!

[Pinky]

Oh, forgot-- Simon is really, really pretty!!

Thanks, that was a "freshly shed" picture of Simon.As far as Dobes go, I absolutly love them, but one must be sure to find a reputable breeder!They are AMAZING animals if bred for temper as well as looks, not just for the looks alone!:)

[GarterGirl]

Simon is really pretty!

[Pinky]

Simon is really pretty!

Thank you very much!He is such a calm and relaxed snake too!:)

[GarterGirl]

Thank you very much!He is such a calm and relaxed snake too!:)

[Stefan-A]

My first exotic pet, a Chinese skink (Eumeces chinensis), late 1980's. Bad camera and no macro function. And no scanner. But the photos were that bad to begin with.

I wish I could find more of that species.

[Snake lover 3-25]

cool i thought they were poisonous???

[Stefan-A]

They're not. :)

[Snake lover 3-25]

ooo:D

are they more like lizards or salamanders???:D

[Stefan-A]

They are lizards. :)
Skink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skink)

[Snake lover 3-25]

weird!!!!!! are they smooth??

[Stefan-A]

Pretty smooth, yes. Not like an amphibian would be, skinks do have scales. They almost feel like they look, smooth but you can feel that they're covered with tiny scales.

[Snake lover 3-25]

that's cool..... i want a lizard....... but i think i want an iguana....:D

[Stefan-A]

If I ever start keeping lizards again, I think it'll be skinks and lacertids ("true lizards").

[adamanteus]

Lacertids are nice, Stefan. I'd like to keep Eyed Lizards if I ever go down that road again.

[Snake lover 3-25]

i like lizards bc you can take them for a walk!!!!:eek:

My friend Gigi's guinea piggy, bear, spending the next few night with us while she's on vacation.
((He knows what he just did! D<))

[Lori P]

Ooooh Bear is cute-- I looooove their little whoop whoop noises and squeals!!!!! OH, you just reminded me-- a while ago I bought a t shirt just because I found it hilarious-- it reads:

Guinea Pigs
They're not just for breakfast anymore

Well, I made the mistake of wearing it into PetSmart the other day without thinking-- holy hell, I thought one of the customers there was going to have a coronary; her face got all red when she read it and she started telling me, in strangled tones, about what wonderful creatures cavies are... I had to cut her off and tell her over and over, it's a joke, it's a joke... I love cavies, but sometimes you just have to laugh...

Note to self, never wear it into a pet store again!!!

[Stefan-A]

Come on, Lori. :D It's fun to upset over-sensitive people. :D

[Lori P]

It really is, isn't it?? I am ashamed that I giggle over doing it... my best reaction ever came from my t shirt that reads:

What Would Jesus Do
For a Klondike Bar?

The church ladies get flustered over that. LOL

[Stefan-A]

Jesus jokes wouldn't upset anyone here. But you could get to them with something like that guinea pig shirt. :)

[anji1971]

Note to self:
Must find out where Lori buys her T-shirts. Too funny!!!

[Garter_Gertie]

Lori, you little **** disturber! Too funny!

The guy that found the St. Paul Pioneer Press Winter Carnival Medallion last year, his initial is "J." He set a record and found it w/in three Clues. Prior to that the quickest it had been found was in five Clues. (The paper was kind enuff to do a second hunt; like only the second time that's ever happened in the approximate 55 years of the Medallion Hunt.)

So,anyway, a lot of us got shirts that said on the front "WWJD?"

The back said"

"Where Would Jxxx Dig?"

:D

[ssssnakeluvr]

LOL!!! I love attitude shirts!!! I used to have a smiley face shirt with a bullet hole in the forehead and blood running down between the eyes. ticked off a lady in a store back in Idaho, she was walking with her little boy or 4 or 5 with a blue smiley face shirt on...she saw mine and got mad at me!!!! I loved it!!!

no, PJ isn't mad...he's just looking to the side...I was trying to get him to look at me, but he looked away as soon as I pushed the button....he's nice to th e point of being obnoxious about it...if youi don't pet him, he will rub all over you and do the work himself! :cool:

[anji1971]

A self-petting cat?
Hmmmm, a great pet for really busy people!:D

[GartersRock]

Cute!! And chunky! ;)

[Garter_Gertie]

He IS cute! I'm surprised I think so. What is he? Does he bite? Does it hurt?

Know what the pics reminded me of? Do you guys remember the show - gosh, I LOVED it! - "Dinosaurs"? NOT THE MAMMA! NOT THE MAMMA! The way they moved is much like the way Chomper is moving in the pics.

[jitami]

OMG, I love that show Gertie! Great pics of Chomper Wayne!

[infernalis]

Chomper is a Savannah monitor Gertie. He bites, tail whips and uses those talons to draw blood.

That's Dorothy's little boy, aha yep he gets 5-6 feet long, and eats meat, lots of meat.

She wept with joy the day I handed Chomper to her:D better than flowers or candy.

A carnivorous beast that is engineered for tearing flesh for food, every woman should want one.

She said it was her best birthday present ever:cool:

My goodness Steve, what a little cutie :) You have a plan in place to keep the boys away? I've already promised to keep my teenage boys away from Don's Nikki, guess I'll add your daughter to the list, too :rolleyes: Hey, wait, how am I going to get a cool, snake loving, daughter in-law if I keep my boys away from them all? :confused::D

Oh, yeah, the snakes are nice, too ;)

[GartersRock]

She is very cute!!

[Lori P]

Steve, love them all but especially like the corn. Very nice!!! :-)

[anji1971]

Nice pictures, Wayne and Steve!
Thanks for sharing. :)

[Steve C]

Thanks all. Wayne, you have some outstanding animals yourself. Just for clarification, the girl holding the large axanthic florida king is my daughter. The girl holding the huge okeetee corn is my niece. I'm sure with both girls having an interest in snakes, that will down on the number of boys. Maybe... I hope..:rolleyes:
Lori P. thanks for the compliment. I've used that okeetee corn that my niece is holding at York River State park for native species presentations. Funny how there's two of us from New Kent, LOL. Steve

[jitami]

Ah, I missed the first set of pics. Both girls are adorable! Yeah, good luck with that boy thing :)

[infernalis]

Wayne, you have some outstanding animals yourself.

Thanks Steve. The real fetish is in the small striped ones:D

But your Colubrids are handsome... I'm still holding out for a Tangerine Hondo, probably get one from Shanon Brown one day.

here's our new household member, Jenna
she is Henner's intended future mate
we'd been thinking about it for a while, but beardies are so pricey and we wanted a nice looking one with some orange, so it didn't seem we would find one within our range
so perhaps it was good that we got to the show late and she was reduced ($85)
also - I wasn't shopping for animals and I might not have seen her when it was more crowded
the cool thing is that my old vet was there and I took her to him right away and he said she's in fine condition
so here she is

Here's the little dude that we placed with my mom until she could no longer care for him... should have kept him here all along, but thought we were doing the right thing at the time... anyway, he is the sweetest, easiest dog that I've ever had. I'm used to wrangling the danes and even though they were well trained it's just so different with this guy... there is no work involved, only the good stuff :) Anyway, here's Chance :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/jitami/Dogs/Chance2008.jpg

He's a little scruffy here. We had just left the dog park and were hanging out waiting for my son to get done with practice :) I just wuv him :)

[reptile3]

Christa, I never thought I would have one or two of them.
A friend I worked with at the Daycare, had rescued 2 from a guy who neglected them.

She had them for about 3 months, till I got them in June. I wasn't going to keep them. But only after they got here, I wanted them.
Both of mine are girls, so sweet. They eat mealworms, waxworms, & crickets.

Bella is special, her front 2 legs/feet, well the person who had them, never realized she had stuck shed on her feet for a few months. So not helping her with the shed, & then no calcium. She still walks on them fine. It doesn't stop her. I got the shed off, with soaking & using the zoo med repti shed. After a few sheds, seems her feet are doing good.

I believe to be easy to care for, they are so soft, cute & sometimes they make little noises(like a chirp)

[Hornets23]

Sweet. I will probably be adding a few of those to the list soon. :)

[infernalis]

As some of you may know my EX Angela and her man Craig have been hanging out here a lot over the past few months.

They have a cool little dog named Rodie, He and Ace have become friends and these two are a blast when we take them outside.

They are so cute together>? what kind of dog is Rodie


Ace is so amazing... Wayne all your pets, reptiles, snakes... are amazing, you have a gift of taking care of them.

[jitami]

How fun! Gizmo would love your property... as would I! I'd like to say he'd play with Ace & Rodie, but most likely he'd just be trotting around smelling everything :)

My freshly set up tank. $750 worth of stuff, everything you could need for a fish tank for $80. What a steal. 55 gallon tank.

The guy who had it before me didn't do a good job of cleaning the gravel so it is a bit cloudy while I let it settle.

Currently there are 7 bluegill in there. Ranging from 5"-9", I will be lowering it, I just want to see which ones do better and whatnot, probably will take it down between 4-6 but we'll see. They seem to have plenty of room to swim even though they all like the right corner far away from me... LOL

I hope you don't mind, but I merged your thread with this one. We're trying to keep this a Thamnophis forum, so other snakes should be posted in the Lounge, preferably in the thread set aside for "other reptiles and amphibians" and other pets should be posted here. :)

Couldn't find this thread, so I was hoping you'd do it. Didn't have a lot of time to search either though.. getting everything set up and squared away..

[drache]

[Millinex]

Yes, didn't manage to catch the big bass the other day.. he snapped my line :P

[quote=Bay_area;28692]This is a small portion of what I have. When I was young I had a snake get away. My mother found it in her shoe. She told me I could not have any more pets after that & when I have my own place, then I can have what ever I want...It is all her fault...LOL!

do they have venom

[charles parenteau]

MY friend did an experience with false water cobra ,with his friend .Nothing you should care about!!! I cant be more specific,Both knows what they doing,and they are pro in the reptiles world they know what they talk about.Test was made with i think few specimen over 6 feet with the girth of a boa ,so the size don't seems to matter at all!!

ON you tube you can see People getting bitten and bitten and nothing happen.

I took care of few of them and they really impressive!they were no aggrssive a all.They are probably more impressive than indigo of the same size!They over power prey more like indigo ,from what I saw...powerful jaw.

I forgot very nice picture by the way!

Great looking snake.

A friend offered me some luna moth caterpillars so I could give a shot at breeding them. Well, nonetheless, the branches and branches of food they ate has been compensated with the sheer beauty of watching them emerge and mate. :)

That is very cool.

[count dewclaw]

Those are such awesome moths! We get them around here occassionally. How many did you end up with?

[Zephyr]

Those are such awesome moths! We get them around here occassionally. How many did you end up with?4 'pillars + one accident = 2 adult males and 1 adult female.
I've got a lot of eggs in my future, though.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

that is wonderful!!!! Luna moths need all the help they can get!!! They are becoming more and more rare :(

[Zephyr]

And, next on my list of acquisitions...
The hickory horned devil caterpillar. ;D
