snakes/reptiles anybody?

I have a corn snake baby shes about 7 months old now and a 2 year old boa constrictor. got bearded dragon and terrapin too.

Work with reptiles so love them

i'm really scared of snakes i try to watch them on tv but sometimes i still have to look away ..lol

here is cora the corn snake



here is zara the boa

My daughter likes snakes, but I have to say they're not my favourite animal!

will boa get any bigger?

yes shes only 5'5 at the moment, she will reach 8ft but potentially longer, females grow bigger than males.

excited to see how big she will grow x

ONLY 5' 5"???? She's longer than I am tall!!!!!

*Sits down before she faints away*

what is she eat at the moment?

well we took her on from a guy whos girlfriend was pregnant. and he had been feeding her chicks :/ which aren't nutritionally great, so now we are feeding her medium sized rats but having to scent them with chicks so defrosting them together.

hoping she starts eating rats soon though i dont half worry x

ooo right interesting, how timea year do you feed her?

i used to have a bearded dragona dn a cali kingsnake but had to get rid of the snake as it was too nippy lol
the person i got it off of didnt handle it much and fed it in its tank instead of feeding it elsewhere lol so it would struike at u when u put hand in tank lol

feed her once a week

I couldn't do that. I have enough trouble handling Dempsey's raw meat for his dinner!

they both look stunning i can not wait to expand mine at the moment i only a KSB and two ChiliRoses. It's so annoying how most of the vivariums cost more than the actual animal.

Oh I know the set ups like vivs and heat mats/bulb guards cost a fortune. once your set up though your away.
what are you going to be getting? x

I have a leopard gecko,hes in this months photo competition in other pets if you would like to see him

I love snakes never had one but would love one one day. I did have a bearded dragon but had to leave her behind when I split up with the ex I was gutted to hear he had given her away to his mate days after I had left. I would have taken her if I knew he was going to do that. It does cost a fortune setting up but once you have the viv an heat mats the only thing that needs replacing are the heat lamps an there not that much really.

Ive gotta leopard gecko called Aziza

Funny i'm scared of the little spiders, you never know where they are, you can not tell if their crawling on you, their fast, you wont have that problem with tarantula's, I got a lovel video of my Chili cleaning her fangs making sure their in check before her meal if you wanna watch it.

I got one of them but it's of the mrs

still a baby at 2yrs they live for around 12yrs roughly they dont get as big as females but they usually top out around the 6ft mark but have been known to get bigger

What do you keep it in?

ive got "puff the bearded dragon" and two terrapins on the way called nelly weed and chip!! my mate has moved to the isle of man and his parents dont want them!

at the minute a 4ft long by 2ft wide by 2ft high wooden vivarium this should do him for the rest of his life unless he gets any bigger than 6ft as you should keep a snake in a vivarium that has the floor space to match its size i.e if the snake is 6ft the floor space should be 4ft by 2ft to give you 6ft in total

great animals... i used to have a royal python and i currently have 5 leopard geckos and 2 bearded dragons!!! will put some pics on soon x

Ive got three leopard geckos now, my lovely boyfriend bought me two more. Here they are...

Aziza -

maybe some day we'll get a lizard , for now its just tropical fish and staffys

This is our mexican red knee tarantular, well i should say it was......shes my friends since we got the dogs! Shes called tallulagh x

I'm now extremely jealous.
I've got a Royal at the moment, but we're looking to add to the family once we've got some more money.
I guess with that many some of them are in tubs/RUBS instead of vivariums?

Yes we have them in RUBS as it so much cheaper and saves alot of space as well

Aye, I'm looking at getting a California King snake next, and a RUB for it would be just over a tenner, a viv would be nearly 100 >.< But I'd prefer a viv, but the desperation to get one is making me swing towards a RUB

haha awesome i do prefer vivs but i don't have the money or the space at the moment to have them all in vivs

I had a 5 foot long male Ball Python named Michael from my 8th birthday till last fall (12 years). He was at my mom's house because we don't really have room for his cage to be separate from the cats in our apartment. My mom gave him away last fall without telling me. It was pretty sad, but I'm hoping he's happy with his new family.

Here are a couple of pictures of Michael:
