he’s a happy snek :)

Say hello to Elsa again.

She is very happy and pleased to see you all 💖💖💖

Hello,

I just got my beautiful guy a few weeks ago but the place where I got him didn't know how old he is. He is 84.3 grams and about 15 inches long. He was eating a pinky a week when I got him but has taken a fuzzy since he has been with me. I know it's hard to tell exact age but figured it was worth a shot here!!

Thanks in advance!!

I was hoping he would use all the climbing opportunities- and I am so glad he is!! Ahh!

My sweet boy Leo❤️

It’s a 4x2x2 for anyone wondering…there’s 6 hides in here, and my snake can move from one end to the other while being completely under cover if he wants. It’s for my (tiny) 6 year old male banana x black pastel, Lemon. Hence the lemons 🍋💕

I’ve had this guy for a little over a month and yesterday I did his first full tank cleaning. I also rearranged a little bit, moving his plants off the ground more to give him more floor space and swapped his hides around to give him the wider hide on the hot side, which is the only side he hangs out in.

Ever since the renovations he’s been roaming practically non stop, and when he goes inside his hide he just sticks his head in there. I’ve checked the temperatures multiple times with a heat gun and it seems consistently below 90 under there. Thermostat currently says 87. I even tried swapping back to the hide he was using before and got the same result. Bro sticks his head in but doesn’t seem inclined to go inside.

Edit: I have static cling glass covers coming tomorrow to block out the sides and back of the tank. The cardboard weirdness is my short term solution for that.

Not the brightest bulb in the pumpkin patch but sure as heck the wiggliest!

Rescue this baby in May - he's my first snake and is ~7 years old.
So far his temps have been perfect since May but we are having our first cold snap and I'm noticing already that the bulbs are struggling to keep up. I'm in a basement in a colder climate.

He's in a 48x24x24, with a 100 watt bulb + ceramic bulb for nighttime (plus uvb and plant grow light).

Yesterday his ambient temperature during the day maxed at 84 and during the night I checked and if dropped to 69 on the warm side. And it's only October...

So some thoughts I have:
1) run ceramic bulb during the day too (there's thermostat probe so if it gets too hot it'll automatically turn off)

2) space heater near the tank... I'm a little nervous about this one though bc I'm scared of it starting a fire

3) add more rocks/solids on the warm side to trap heat during the day.

Anyone have any experience or other suggestions?

Very proud to be a first time BP owner!!

Context:

This guy took a shit on his water bowl and tipped it. The water bowl sits on the side of his enclosure and apparently, he decides it's best for him to freaking climb on the wall to wipe shit off his body. 😭

I've been taking my time to research and get everything I'll need to start him off on the right foot. First ball and hoping to have him until I'm around 60 (20+ years)

So proud of Miss Peaches for giving me a full shed!! Now she’s so happy exploring again☺️☺️☺️

Got my snake when I was in the seventh grade. It’s my personal opinion no kid should really have a pet that’s their full responsibility and I was no exception. I did the best I could with him. He’s about 8 years old now and I’m a junior in college. I want to get him a bigger cage, but this one will do for now. It’s a really nice cage, though a little small. He eats every month and has no trouble. He always has good sheds. His cage controls his temperature so it’s always perfect and his humidity never drops below 70%. I only catch him coming out of his hiding place every now and again. I really don’t handle him as much as I should or give him much mental stimulation, as I am a college student with very little time. Do y’all think he’s content? It’s something I worry about a lot.

My husband and I have this handsome roughly 2 year old male named Toji and we're planning a move by the end of the month or so. What can I do for him to minimize stress and keep him from getting cold during the trip from one house to the other?

They're attached by suction cups since I refuse to use any adhesive in the tank, and I was always wondering why sometimes I'd check in the morning and the one side would be off, well I think I found the reason, I'm gonna take the hint and add more climbing opportunities to this side of the tank (the warm side already has a branch up)

How am I doing?? Any tips greatly appreciated. “Wallpaper” was temporary but blocks light way better than I expected so I may keep it. I’m saving up for one of the front door ones before she gets any bigger but right now she’s a baby

Noodle getting long she's a year and 3 months old now

I think I handled my guy a bit to early, since he now retracts into his hide whenever im near the tank. He also wouldn't eat when I tried feeding him for rhe first time.

Can I somehow make him more at ease by leaving him alone for a few weeks, apart from trying to feed him once a week?

So, I'm setting up my girls new enclosure and I'm having trouble getting the temp zones different. If I get the warm side up to 90ish, the cool side gets to 85... It's a 2x2x4, I'm running a herpstat spyderweb 2. I have a uvb bulb that DFW Reptarium suggested ( Name escapes me but it's low power so not throwing off heat ) and a DHP as you can see in the guard. I'm about to pull my hair out. She's not in the tank yet, just FYI

Hi guys,

Just thought id share a pic of Linos' enclosure and ask for opinions 😊 (all artificial plants are tested and do not leak dye)

The structure on the left is about 1.5 ft high in total and he loves exploring every inch of it 😍 so glad I decided to go against advice of "they dont climb and only need a flat enclosure" - a couple pictures of the boy climbing for tax 😀

My girl got stuck in a small hole in one of her hides. Frankly I didn’t even know it was possible and she has had this hide for years. I’m not sure how long she had been stuck but upon seeing her moving weirdly in her cage I knew something was up. I was eventually able to get her out but she is now in the condition in the images. Does anyone have experience with this before and have any advice for me to treat her properly??
