thanks

Great pics. I'd be too afraid they would get loose myself

Haha they can't get out

Great pics Ella...............................I'm not too clued up when it comes to snakes. How many of them can you safely handle??????

Thanks well i suppose with 'safely' handling them it depends on how confident you are, for me i handle all my snakes on my own, but I wouldn't advice anyone handle my white lipped python (the only one with no photo here) if you weren't very used to handling p**sed off large snakes.

Also one to bear in mind is the western hognose as he is technically venomous, he's unlikely to bite but it's something to remember

that is a great collection of snakes! all very pretty!

Thanks

wow how/where do they live? Do u have any pics of that?

haha me and the oh live in a little terrace house, but the attic is a converted room so they are all in there they take up a surprisingly small amount of room!

very pretty snakes.

do they not need an underground or anything else?

The box there in is only for the photos they all have there own enclosure with hides branches etc

ah, ok do you breed them?

we wanna make a desert terrarium but don't know with which reptiles.

I plan to breed a few of them when they are mature enough and big enough which won't be for a couple of years yet

That's a very cool collection of snakes you got there Ella

Thanks Dan!

Ella,

Love your pics! I have been thinking about getting a pet snake for a while.

I have never had a snake before, given you have a "few" lol.

Could you give me any tips/help.

Was thinking Corn or Royal...pros/cons

Cheers

Thanks!

Haha yer just have a few

Well as you can see i have corns and a royal, so it depends whether you like a heavier bodied snake then a royal over a corn.

Royal can have a tendency of going off food, especially males coming to breeding season, but they can go off food for months and months which can be worrying if your a first time snake owner. However if you read up about them and understand that they aren't going to drop dead if not eaten for a few weeks then either a royal or corn are very good for first timers

Thanks for your reply

How are yours when it comes handling? I appreciate it probably changes from snake to snake.

I have done research on both corns and pythons really not sure how to decide which really

Thanks

Well most of mine bar a couple, one in particular who is very very aggressive and will only tolerate minimal handling they are all really easy to handle.

If you are wanting a snake you can handle and show to people if they come round i would personally stick to either a corn or royal.

Well if you can't decided get both

Lol dont know if the missus would go for that lol!!!

I will do some more reading up about them

Sorry to be a pest, What's your expert opinion on something like this?????

It's a good kit however it doesn't include a thermostat which you HAVE to have unless you want a cooked snakey!

This is a better set:

Thanks for your reply!

That looks a better one, your right

Untill what age would that last the snake?

Haha no worries, well it depends on what species you get but say corns/king/milk snakes then it would last 10-12 months but if you get a very quick growing one then obv you would need to upgrade alot sooner

Any ides of shops online that would do a "starter kit" for a Royal?

Think I have decided haha

Fair enough, well that link i sent you would be perfectly fine for a royal for a good while as they hate large spaces, so if you got a baby then it will last months
