Of all species they could have in front of the urinal lol..

She's a high white reverse stripe king snake. Super sweet girl. She has the same pattern as my soul rabbit I had years ago and I don't want to name her after him just because of her pattern. Plus his name holds a special place in my heart. I've had her for a month and I still have no idea what to call her.

can you tell I have a thing for ringnecks haha

i turned around for a second and he was half way in it was more of a danger to pull him out coz the stings would catch on his scales it’s warm in aus atm so if he doesn’t come out for a day i’m not worried about him getting cold but he is thick and i don’t want him hurting his scales so if he chooses to stay i’ll cut the strings and pull him out

edit: I WAS GETTING THE ACOUSTIC OUT TO CLEAN IVE BEEN PLAYING MY TELE THATS WHY IT DUSTY CRUSTY OK

Moved him out of the way so he wouldnt get stepped on! Really liked the warmth of my hands haha

I posted a grainy pic of Xena the okeetee the other day, and found Francis posting up like that last night.

Side note: he’s a good bit into his weight loss journey, getting stronger by the day and curious about everything around him. I know he’s chubby, that’s how I got him and lord knows I’m trying to fix that. I’m not glorifying it or happy about it: I’m happy he’s exploring, not lethargic anymore, replacing fat with muscle, and not looking like a mushy banana.

Side note done, I hope you enjoy!

I’ve been trying to name this guy for weeks now and nothing sticks. I think the patterns on his head are throwing me off, like my brain thinks he needs a name that matches the vibe of the patterns for some reason lmao. If anyone has any fitting names for him, please help!!!

Removed a chunky rat snake from a chicken coop. He decided he wanted to hang out inside my jacket. (No shirt underneath so skin to skin😂😭)

Saw this rat snake in my backyard today. Was only brave enough to approach it as it was moving away from me. But then I watched it go into the shed attached to the side of my garage😓

I don't hate snakes. I actually think it's super cool to see it and appreciate it being in the ecosystem of my yard. However, they kinda freak me out and I'm concerned about being bitten if I startle it in the shed (which is not very well organized....most of the floor is covered with stuff like flower pots and lawnmowers, etc.)

How can I safely remove it and/or verify that it has left on its own? What precautions should I take to protect myself from bites? I know it's not poisonous, but I'd still rather not get bit. And there's also the piece of being uncomfortable with a wild animal in an enclosed structure, even if it's not the house itself...

I just picked up this GORGEOUS Albino girl from someone in my area yesterday. Her name is Buttercup, and I’m in love! She’s super sweet, a little nervous but that’s understandable! I’m so excited to learn her personality. She’s around 7 years old. Estimated birthday is August 2019. I had tons of hides and clutter leftover from my other ball python so I revamped her enclosure and made sure she had plenty of places to hide and explore! Not being able to handle her is gonna be tough, but she deserves time to settle in and explore her new pad, so I’ll suffer in silence lol. Anyways, meet Buttercup!

I've owned my kenyan sand boa Chubs for over 8 years now. He's healthy, his enclosure is at a proper humidity, and he eats regularly. I weigh him every so often to ensure he is neither overweight or underweight. However, in 8 years of owning him, he has never had a complete shed on his own.

I've tried leaving a humid hide in there for him and spraying it when he looks like he's about to shed. I've left lots of objects he can safely rub on to get the shed off. Nothing works.

Every time he sheds, he gets all of the skin off of his face, and stops there. I've left him alone to see if he would deal with it on his own, but the skin dried out, and I had to give him a soak and get the rest of it off myself. It's been 8 years and it's the same routine every time. He gets the shed off of his face and eyes, and ignores the rest. I have to help him.

I would love for the guy to shed on his own so I don't have to stress him out and spend an hour or more de-shedding him every time. Has anyone had the same issue? How do I fix this?

Here he is surfing in his container and showing off them snoobies!

What kind of snake is this?

repost from BP thread, not sure if reposts are allowed here but wanted to put it here too since maybe someone had this issue with a different breed! thanks in advance!!!

here's a pic of the little bastard.

We put him in his enclosure, and then set two books on top thinking that would be enough until his cage clips got delivered the next day.

color me surprised when I go to find him the next day and he ISN'T IN THERE!!!!!! By sheer luck, I happened to be in the basement working when I saw him slither across the carpet. Couldn't believe id lost him in the first place but to then find him again was so relieving.

ANYWAY MY POINT IS HE IS LITERALLY 3 WEEKS OLD AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE LID OFF OF HIS ENCLOSURE AND ESCAPE 😭

lesson learned.......

any name ideas?

also my boy snakes are hogie (hognose) and luci-no-fur, luci for short (king) and i love a silly name, i think i might want a masculine name for my girl to throw people off more but im not sure yet

He’s been stuck for at least 10 hours, he has a wound that’s in the gap. I tried to spray him with vegetable oil to help (I’m so sorry if this made it worse that’s what other reptile friends said to do).

I’m worried if I try to unstick him, it will hurt his would more, I also saw a mouse poke its head out of there, should I be concerned about that??

He’s still alive, and trying to get out. His head is moving around good.

Any ideas very welcome 😭 I’ve never touched a snake before but I feel so bad for him
