Appreciate the help, Wayne. That's what I've been doing the whole time. Don't know why it's not working. It used to. Sigh.


Looks like a lion tamer with a chair. :D

I know, and it's a freaking water snake. The baby release was equally pitiful. The way he set him down.

Yeah, and don't drive down the street with a sonoran gopher snake around your neck either. Mine got into the gap where the window comes up through the door and we were headed for a high of 102 degrees F. that day.:eek:

Sink drains and overflow holes are a real hazard too.

[ConcinusMan]

Started to drill a hole in my car. (it was an ugly POS anyway. A '72 toyota corona) I could tell where the snake was but couldn't get to him by hand. Well, the vibrations from the drill is all it took. He came flying out of there!

I know. Mine made it to almost a million miles (987,000) before it blew a head gasket and I sold it for parts. Those were the days. Gas was 98 cents a gallon.

[snakehill]

Bet you wish you still had it! Was it a stick?(gas was 75 cents when I started driving!) lol ;)

[RedSidedSPR]

Now begs the question, how old are you? :D

[snakehill]

Not today sonny!:rolleyes: PS Cigarettes were 50 cents!

[ConcinusMan]

Well I don't know about that. They were almost a dollar in the late 70's. The 98 cent gas was late 80's.

[ConcinusMan]

Hmm...

[RedSidedSPR]

The box shows, it just has a big X. Not sure why, I mean, you can view voids anywhere else, but not forum posts.

[ConcinusMan]

Probably a setting to reduce the amount of bandwidth it takes to load pages? I don't really know. I don't know much about mobile devices. Ask me anything about a desktop or laptop and I'll have an answer. I'm clueless when it comes to your phone though. Don't even know much about mine since I just got it. a Motorola Atrix 4G.

When I come to this thread on the phone, the boxes show up as links instead. If I "click" the links, a box pops up that lets me open it in a new window and the video plays.

[RedSidedSPR]

No link. I know a lot about macs, and pretty much any apple device.... Even though I don't have a Mac, only a crappy old PC, I know more about them than windows. I'm positive there's nothing in settings. If it's possible, Ill figure it out... I only recently started accessing this site with it (less access to a CPU now) so I haven't gone through it all yet.

If you hit the quote button(lower right corner of each post) in the post you want to quote it will open a reply field.
Click below the quote that you see and enter your response.
If you want to quote more than 1 person click the Plus button(next to the word quote) in all the quotes you want except the last. For the last quote use the "Quote" button. That will transfer all the quotes to a reply field.
Hope that made sense.;)

Okay that's what I do but what if I want to only "Quote" part of the post?:confused:

Those people are awful!! Did you hear them saying "I want it to fall" then once the poor thing did fall he said "kill it, kill it!" They couldn't have pulled over and let the poor thing off the car, they just let it get run over!!!! I want to smack them both!!

[kibakiba]

I feel the same way. More than smacking though... Perhaps I could chase them with a moccasin and let it bite them and show them it's snakie wrath. Poor little snake. I'd have rolled down the window and let it sit in the passengers seat with me. :p

[snakehill]

Thank you Steve! Some of us grew up using computers and others were introduced to them later in life! I had to teach myself how to use a computer and I am still learning things along the way!:cool:

[RedSidedSPR]

What, I didn't have to teach myself? Oh heck yeah.

It sounded critical, but it wasnt. Was just trying help saying do not touch "[][][][]"

[Mommy2many]

Jesse, you may have had to teach yourself but in this day the personal computer is as common as a TV was in our youth.

You use it at school, at home and at the library. Many of us (adults) never even had access to a pc during our school years and perhaps maybe had access at work. We certainly had no one to teach us unless you paid for the course.

Cell phones are also a given. Those weren't really all that common till the 90's. I remember my ex-husband buying one of the first ones to comes out at Radio Shack in 1988, a couple months before my daughter was born. He insisted he needed it so I could get in touch with him at the time I may go into labor. What a joke that was. There were no towers at the time (anywhere near us) and the phone cost him over $700.00. I could think of many other ways to spend $700.00 at the time.:mad:

[RedSidedSPR]

I know. Like I said, didn't mean anything by it.

$700?!?!?:eek: You can buy several computers for that!!


You use it at school,

no I don't.


at home

oh, a little I guess.:D (I don't have my own so i use my iPhone more.. like right now)


and at the library.

What's a library?
No I don't.

[Mommy2many]

Ok, smart #$%!
A majority of the children/youth these days use computers at one time or another in school.
I get the library snarky remark...
Yes, it was $700.00 at the time (stupid, yes???)
If you use the internet, then you are in one way or another using a small computer. I-touch, DSI, etc.

[RedSidedSPR]

I try and be helpful and look what happens:rolleyes:

[RedSidedSPR]

[ConcinusMan]

Ok, smart #$%!
A majority of the children/youth these days use computers at one time or another in school.

And to think I never laid a finger on one or even knew how to turn one on until 1991. (age 21) and now at age 41, I work as a PC tech. Go figure. I do remember in 6th grade (1979) my school was one of the first in the State of Washington, to get a couple of Apple computers or any computers for that matter. You know, the first computers ever to come with the graphics based interface using icons on the screen, in 16-bit color. Right after that, Windows came out based on that same type of interface, the court battle between MS and Apple began.

Still, all the way up until graduation in 1987, the only computer I ever saw at school was an Apple. "Apple II" I believe they were called. Just never touched one until 1991 shortly after my 21st birthday and then it wasn't an Apple/Mac. It was an "IBM Compatable" running Microsoft DOS using a monochrome monitor.

These days I can fix, tune, build, write apps for, setup networks, secure, remove viruses, crack software, write cracks, remove viruses, intercept and modify/analyze web data packets, etc., just about anything imaginable. But only on PC (back in the day, "PC" was called "IBM compatable") running DOS 1-6, or any version of Windows from 1.0 to Windows 7, or Linux/Unix. My, how times change.

Why did I choose the MS "PC" path? It wasn't because I knew things would turn out the way they did in computer market. I chose it because it was hard. because IBM PC's were hard. Because it was challenging. Apple/Macs were too easy.:rolleyes:

[d_virginiana]

Holy crap! That's pretty cool. I wonder why the guy didn't just give it (them?) a couple of pink parts...

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Doesn't look like the best way to feed.

The description says he sold it... would like to know how it's doing.

[ConcinusMan]

I was wondering why the guy even fed them in this way. If one head is a good feeder, then place a card between them and feed the dominant head. Only one needs to swallow the food. There's no need, and plenty of reasons to avoid, the stress and conflict I saw in that video.

[guidofatherof5]

Check this guy out! Looks like the esophagus are joined... wonder how he's doing.

KMMsVT-tvwI&feature=related

I contacted the guy who owns this snake and asked how it was doing.
He said it is doing fine.

[RedSidedSPR]

I'd love to see him thrive. Most two-headed snakes don't. If he is, that's great.

[ConcinusMan]

I'd love to see him thrive. Most two-headed snakes don't.

I wouldn't say that. If they make it past their first year, they tend to do just as well as any other snake in captivity. THEY appear to have grown enough that they will probably live a full long life with proper care.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

OMG ive only seen pics of a headed snakes and to see one /two heads eat . Thats awesome. Thank you very much for sharing.

The forum has changed and the codes are different. I just used the "insert video" button and used the entire URL instead of just the youtube video ID. Your ipod browser just didn't understand the old [/youtube] codes. quote the post and you'll see the codes are different now.

I assume that perhaps the change allows us to imbed videos that don't come from youtube but I haven't tried that yet.

[kibakiba]

I'd hate to see what happened if I got into that stuff... Certain brands of adderall(for my adhd while I'm in school) do stuff similar to that when I take it... It's pretty damn scary.

[ConcinusMan]

I'd hate to see what happened if I got into that stuff...

Nobody I know of actually "gets into it" but it's not as scary as you might think. Under the right conditions, it can even "fix" a person that struggles with "head" issues.

Adderall is speed. I would in good conscious recommend a mushroom trip at least once in a persons life, (had life-long lasting positive effect on me) before I would have someone dose up on speed regularly, (always a lot of bad negative side effects without much positive benefit) but that's just me I suppose.

From what you described it sounds like you got a case of amphetamine psychosis. That's never a good thing. You shouldn't take it if that's happening.

[ConcinusMan]

Do you have pics? We could give you a positive I.D. if we had a pic. Wandering garters are very hardy and usually will eat frozen/thawed rodents. Should make a great pet. The snakes in this video are wandering garters from Utah, owned by Don Belnap (ssssnakeluvr). They vary a bit in appearance depending on where they are found. What really gives them away as Wandering garters is when the spots overlap the dorsal stripe a bit.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWtrzR0nE-I

[nitrogen15]

Too bad they couldn't find a homeowner like Steve!

[ConcinusMan]

It was filmed while the snakes at the infested house were all hibernating. That's why they used Don's captive snakes for the filming instead. The snake scenes were actually done at Don's place, not the infested house. At least, I think that's what happened.

I'm sure if they wanted to film radixes, they would have went to Steve's place. They needed wanderings since that is what the house is infested with.

[nitrogen15]

I meant it would be great if they found a snake-loving tenant for the house, actually. That's interesting about Don's snakes, though! It had to be fun to make all that stock footage.

"Great" would have been if some NGO had bought the property and a good deal of land connected to it and then restored it to its natural state.

Obviously the house was built on a denning site or near one anyways.

Was that Billy the Exterminator making that video? Lol... Very cool...I heard they play dead...had never seen it though.

Question? Is it an automated responce. Once started must it run its course or can it be cancelled by the snake.
Just wondering.

[EasternGirl]

When I first watched the video I didn't realize what it was and I was like.."Now who would go and post a video clip of a snake dying on this forum?!?"...then I realized what I was watching...:rolleyes:.

[mikem]

Steve, I have a wild caught female who has been in captivity for almost five years now. She will start playing dead if I spend too much time in her enclosure, cleaning, moving things around, etc. Most of the time she stops after a few seconds... doesn't even make it all the way upside down like the snakes in those videos. From my personal experience with her, they can stop whenever they want.

Thanks for the info. Mike.

[Eight]

I had a female too. Mine only ever played dead once but I've experienced others that do it more often. In my experience they generally keep it up until they believe that the threat has passed. And they stink when they empty their bowels at the same time. My hoggie generally just adopted a defensive posture, spreading a slight hood while making fake strikes and hissing a lot. We named her Frying Pan for that lol. A very unique and fun species to keep in my opinion.

[EasternGirl]

Speaking of...I just posted a link from The Reptile Report of some hognose pics...take a look you guys...it's in Other Pets. I'm going to be looking for a hognose when Mike and I are at the expo in Hamburg in June. We are still looking for more people to join us!

[Eight]

Out of interest how do you go about bringing reptiles back from another country? Would be tempted to go to ham myself

[EasternGirl]

Just to be clear...this is Hamburg, PA, in the U.S., not Germany. I realize that is still out of the country for you...but some people think it is Germany when I first say it. I thought the same when Mike first mentioned it. I don't know if you can bring reptiles overseas. I don't know how you would do that. I know you can't bring them on planes...and you couldn't ship them overnight overseas. The time required to ship them overseas would have to be dangerous for the snakes. Companies do it though...don't they?

Btw...if I had the money and there was an expo in Hamburg, Germany...I would be all over that!

[Eight]

Lol that makes sense now :) in sure there is one in Germany too. I've never been to a reptile show so I could be wrong.

[EasternGirl]

This will be my first...so I'm pretty excited. I actually just became interested in hognoses too. I saw a couple in Delaware in the wild when I was little...but I had no idea about the whole "hooding" thing. That is just too cool. The fact that they can be rather tame snakes to keep as pets and have the whole hood thing going on is really awesome. Plus the playing dead factor. Mike looked for one for me at another expo he went to...but they didn't have any, so I am hoping maybe they will have one that won't be too expensive at the expo in Hamburg. I would think they would have snake shows in Germany...

[mikem]

You guys probably have seen this already. I'd love to open my door and see this!

Excessive and more than needed but true. Unfortunately that's where the money in snake breeding is right now. I personally wouldn't touch any morph of royal. They don't look natural, and I like natural. Plus too many morphs are inbred, and a few have signs of neurological disorders. But between the royal episodes you get to see some different species and every now and then some less seen species.

I generally don't discount something just because I don't like one aspect of something. Though they do go OTT on some things, it does manage to get a regular audience because of it.

SnakeBytesTV Questioned | The Reptile Report (http://thereptilereport.com/snakebytestv-questioned/)

I tend to make too much noise sometimes.

[Eight]

I have to completely agree with that. Monitors need to be in much larger enclosures. Its part of the problem I see in reptile shops a lot, and Why I'm not keen on large breeding facilities that are designed to make monies with no concern for the animals wellfare. I also see many monitors without a deep enough substrate to allow burrowing, which really bothers me (mostly boscs).

I feel the need to clarify here that I'm not a fan of these guys. I don't think its big or cleaver to mess with animals for hits on you tube, and encouraging snakes to strike and bite is very irresponsible. I merely enjoy seeing some of the different species they sometimes show. Just as I enjoy watching videos of other peoples pets and setups.

[ConcinusMan]

Monitors need to be in much larger enclosures. Its part of the problem I see in reptile shops a lot, and Why I'm not keen on large breeding facilities that are designed to make monies with no concern for the animals wellfare.

First off, no pet store enclosure is intended to be a proper long term home. It's simply a holding area intended for short term. And second, any breeding facility designed to make money, won't make any money, or even get viable offspring to sell, if they have no concern for the welfare of the animals. Your last statement is an oxymoron. "designed to make monies with no concern for the animals welfare" If you've been watching the show at all you would know that they are quite knowledgeable and concerned with the health and welfare of the animals.

Now as far as the "chewy" episodes go, I don't like the way they tease the snakes into biting, but I'm sure even if they didn't, it's something that happens every day anyway. They know which snakes are nippy and purposely mess with those for the purpose of entertaining. I don't agree with it, but like I said, I'm sure they get bit regularly just going about the daily business of caring for the snakes.

Look I just think some people are being a little too critical. What you see on SnakeBytesTV should not be taken as an overall impression of the people that run it, or how it's run. Go there yourself. Talk with the real people when they're not acting. Check out the facility. Then be critical if there's anything to be critical of. I think you'll find a very professionally run business, healthy animals, and a very efficiently run immaculately clean facility. Probably one that any zoologist would be impressed with, and certainly one of the best facilities in the country. These guys know what they're doing and spare no expense caring for the animals.
