this is my two garters snuggleing for some odd reason



hmmmm snuggling or mating?;)

[brandon0133]

i dont know,,they have never done that before and the tanks been sat up this way for awhile,,but they have been doing this alot in the last 3 days

[brandon0133]

i dont know if the garters are male and female but they seem to be growing great and one has a smaller head then the other,,,more narrow and the other has a more manly looking head as in beefyer however u spell that,,,and ones bigger then the other also,,and the big one seems to be really getting bigger,,,fast...if one is getting pregnant is there anything special i would need to do? heres a few more pics and i just took some of the python also,,,

i love taking pics of them,,,,ive got videos of them eating to,,lol,, cant post it can i?

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

moniter the weights to see if ones pregnant also the weight would be in the lower/tail section of the body

[brandon0133]

ok thanks ill make sure to check that out tonight,,oh and by the way i just talked to another guy,,,,im getting 3 more corn snakes for 40$ picked up,,,there a few months old and eating good,,have pics of them and will put some up when i get them,,there silver and black and some red and orange

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

are u planning on breeding the corns? and you might want to pace yourself on the buying thing especially if your a beginner it can be very hard to maintain that many snakes

[zooplan]

That looks not like mating to me.
While mating the male would always try to rubb his chin on the females back.

i agree im afraid. my marcys have been like that for a few days now but i haven't seen any connection of the lower body although sissle is trying hard lol

[brandon0133]

they have been fully ontop of each other alot,,and even when there not in that spot in the tank there wrapped around each other,,like under the leaves in the tank there still wraped around each other like a candy cane,,and all the corns i have are just babies so it will be awhile before they can breed,,,but yes i would like to when the time comes,,everyone has to start somewhere,,,and ive had snakes before but never bread them,,this is the first time ive had the real money and time to take care of them like they should,,ive bought everything they could need,,have the time and money to support them and i love snakes,,,and everyday im online reading and writing about snakes to learn more,,,so now im addicted to snakes,,lol,,ive had red tails and albino bermiese pythons and i did have a corn once,,..the 3 different types of snakes i have now are all different as in how they act and temper,,thats why im asking so many questions,,thanks

[reganngo]

:Dwow!!!!!! nice green turtle

[brandon0133]

well im going to get rid of all the snakes i have and focus one 3 main ones for now,,,i have a 8ft albino bermese python and a 4 1/2 ft ball python and a 1 1/2 ft ball python that takes alot of time and attention to care for,,so the little ones got to go,,if anyones interested let me know,,just want them to go to good homes,,,i have 3 garters,6 corn snakes and one green snake i got to get rid of,,i really want to keep the garters so i might end up doing that

[anji1971]

Brandon, in the last few weeks you seem to have bought one snake after another, and I was worrying that it would come to this. You're already trying to get rid of them????
I think you need to slow down and be a lot less impulsive on the buying, especially when you're dealing with snakes like Burmese Pythons. They are something many people have bought, and then regretted because they become so enormous that the average home cannot possibly be equipped to handle them. Most usually end up being given to zoos and animal exhibits, at least that's what's happened to the ones in my area. And I worry about your young children -- those snakes can kill!!! You wouldn't be able to stop it if it tried to constrict your child. :eek:
It's not my intention to make you feel bad here, just that I see areas of great concern, not only for your family, but for the poor snakes. Please think about it, Brandon.

[adamanteus]

Ditto to everything Anji just said. Sorry, Brandon, I think she's right.:o

[brandon0133]

understood,,,i read what everyone said on my other post and u are all right,,now how about helping me figure out what to do,,i relize the problem now and am willing to fix it,,the albino needs to go,,i got him thinking i could help out,,which im going to get him to the vet next week and then i can figure out what to do with him. any ideas how to get this snake the care it needs? i cant just carry him to zoos,,and if i gave him to a pet store u know what they would do with him

[Cazador]

Good for you, Brandon. Your heart's definitely in the right place. I posted some advise on the other thread (http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/garter-snake-lounge/2099-my-new-giant-albino-burmese-python-5.html#post34365), but they're just ideas... nothing guaranteed. Hopefully, you'll get some more input. Kind regards,

Rick

[brandon0133]

thanks guys

[anji1971]

Brandon, I think it's wonderful that you wanted to help this snake out, and I'm glad to see you realize what you may have gotten yourself into. Like Rick says, your heart is in the right place. I don't have any advice for you now, unfortunately, but best of luck finding the python a good home where it will be well taken care of, and I'm sure it's grateful for the care you've given it so far!

[brandon0133]

ive had atleast 10 people write me about taking him in the last 12 hrs,,,but most seem to be just like me and just want a free snake,,,so i will keep on trying and weeding out the bad ones,,,one guy has a 13 ft rectic and wants to put the python in the same houseing with it,,i dont think thats a good idea?

[Cazador]

Hey Brandon,

I really don't know much about large snake husbandry, so I don't know if that's a common practice or not. However, I'd be surprised if each large snake gets its own 10' x 5' enclosure inside somebody's house. Just some food for thought.

Rick

[CrazyHedgehog]

,but most seem to be just like me and just want a free snake,,,

Sometimes this is why people put a price on it, not so much for the money, but to ensure that it goes to a good home, someone who is willing to pay for it, is not likely to let it get sick etc..

[brandon0133]

yeah i think so,,i did put a small enough number that most people can afford but is enough to detour the un wanted people
