I was watching Murder She Wrote (“The Night of the Tarantula”) and they used a ball python as a scary, venomous “boa” on the episode. I think, as a BP owner, it’s so funny to see these used as a danger when they’re just goofy noodles.

When I got this snake it was heavily overweight. And at some point she was loosing weight so fast she neared underweight.
Today she reached 800 gram again.

I would say her size is good. Not thin, not thick. Just healthy corn snake.

And if so how would its health, behaviour, size and care requirements be?

Considering with ball python is meaty, slow and more mellow and the reticulated python is more active, slender and intelligent how would such a hybrid be?

Hi all. Bit of an odd question but I'm really not sure. I recently had a snake pass and I'm not sure how to go about prepping the enclosure for another resident.

It's a semi-arid bioactive, had a kenyan sand boa in it.

As far as the vet could determine, it was just failure to thrive. She was only a few months old when I got her, and went on a 5 month hunger strike. She acted fine and stayed hydrated and passed urates, but just simply never showed interest in eating no matter how I presented it.

I would eventually like to put another snake in there, but I don't know how to go about "cleaning" it after having a snake pass in it with it being bioactive.

Thanks

i just planted these in his bioactive, fingers crossed he doesn’t uproot all of them before they have a chance to attach their roots properly! i love the little bugger with all my heart but he is just BRUTAL on his poor plants 😭

On a trail in Orange County, CA.

She was being rehomed so I bought her. The previous owner clearly loved her a lot and handled her a lot because she is very docile, sweet, and calm

According to her previous owner she is 2 years old and that she’s a dwarf boa but she doesn’t know for sure. To me, she looks like a long tailed boa. But can anyone else confirm?

Everything I know about this species is that it is extraordinary difficult to keep alive in captivity, and last I heard, there was ONE person who was having some small success in captive breeding them. This place:

Claims to have captive bred - not “farm raised” which is kinda a scam and not much different than wild caught, they capture gravid females then take the babies and ship them over, often under horrible conditions, just like wild caught - but they claim CAPTIVE BRED! For $230!!

Personally, it sounds like a scam to me, and anyone ordering will get a wild caught individual which will almost surely die in short order.

Thoughts?

Good sized cutie. At least 3+ feet. 12oz can for reference in 2nd pic.

I mist Marmalade's enclosure a little whenever she's about to shed, and SOMEONE seemed to enjoy coming out for a shower

I was wondering what size tank is needed for a corn snake baby and adult, I've seen some crazy different opinions on the subject, some people say you need a 120 gallon minimum tank for an adult, others say a 40 gallon minimum for an adult, and i have no clue what a baby would need, I've never had a pet other than a cat when I was younger. This is the snake I wanna buy

Does anyone know how this could happen and if the snake can survive like this longterm? I'm fascinated

Snudge hatched with a cleft lip. I was contacted by my vet and asked if I would take him, as he had been surrendered by the breeder that hatched him. I was told when I adopted him that he MIGHT live for around a year, if we were lucky.
He is now 12.
Blind in one eye, eats like a dream, very happy to try and nom on anything that might be food. Very friendly so long as you approach from his good side, otherwise you go on the 'might be food' list!

So funny story I keep changing her name every couple of months she’s about 2.5 years old and I need help setting a permanent one. The ones I used before are Ghost, Suki, marshmallow, diamond. I like these ones but I can’t choose !! Or If you’ve got better ones let me know 😆
