New inhabitants!

[larean]

I now officially have 5 snakes instead of one

First arrived two young parietalises, brother and sister, very nice colouring. I hope the brother will start to fancy my old female after a year (or two? what is the 'ripe' age again?). They're now about 4 months old.

Next was a beautiful young Natrix Maura, which I might even like more than the parietalises because it somehow fits better in its surroundings, and has more subtle coulour patterns. This one EATS a hell of a lot, it now looks like a gabon adder .

And now I found back my long lost corn snake who ate today(luckily).

Pictures soon

P.S. Are any of you (dutch people) experiencing a frog wave? There are about 50 frogs and billions of eggs in my tiny pond...yuck.
My snake is too small to eat all of them, and they just keep coming back.

congrats to your new addition
one or both of your babies might like the frog eggs

[Snaky]

I think that he'll be doing illegal things if he feeds the frog eggs or frogs... But I'm from Belgium, so it might be a little different in the netherlands.

Congrats with the additions! Your male will be an adult at age 2, a female reached adulthood at age 3. These are normal values, it might be faster if they grow much faster than normal.

Thanks

It is indeed illegal to keep frogs, but if you saw my pond you would wonder if our government had gone mad


Would they eat the eggs or only the larvae?

somebody posted here last year that their garters went into a feeding frenzy with frog spawn

Garters adore tadpoles.
Even more than worms. :O

what about toad eggs/tadpoles???? because i just saw about ten or so toads laying them and i usually wait till they turn into toads before feeding them to my snakes... and tadpoles would be soooooo much easier to find and catch....

Can you send some frogs over here lol
we're starting to get a collection
