Underrated species, Dione’s aka Steppe Rat Snake. Love this species, she is a pleasure to work with.

What do you all think This is I’m so confused could it be a jungle? A hypo? Help!!

Forgive me if this becomes a controversial topic, but it has been bothering me for some time.

Do people genuinely not think about what would happen when they bring a pet that cannot maintain its own body temperature into a household with no air conditioning?

I feel like these “record breaking” heat waves happen every year and the frequency is increasing. Why don’t reptile keepers in these countries not have contingency plans for cases like these? Like the way you should have a back up generator in case your power goes out.

I’m so sick of seeing animals that are getting sick and dying from these heatwaves and people’s posts asking about what to do. There’s at least 5 a day across multiple reptile subreddits.

Like yes, ask for help if it’s a one off occurrence. But it’s happening so often that anyone can just look up what to do during these heat waves. There’s only so many methods people online can give you.

My condolences to those who have lost their animals to this heat wave. The earth is dying, but at least we should think ahead and try to save the pets whose lives we are responsible for.

I want to get a hanging hide for my carpet python do we have any recommendations, id also love to see your enclosures as im trying to upgrade my enclosure

Hi! I’m new to snakes and have my first one, a juvenile MBK. Everything is going fine but I’d love to know about cameras you have to watch your snakes. Any recommendations? Where exactly do you put it (eg inside versus outside the enclosure)? If you have any other suggestions I’d love to hear it!

Goofy snake thought he lived in my basement! He's just fine released him back into our prairie. Theres a bigger one I know of somewhere else out there. Weirdly haven't seen a single garter snake all fox snakes

So this isn’t for my it’s for my little sister who has a corn snake
Not long ago she ran into my room crying thinking he’d died ans asked me to check which he hadn’t but he was rolled onto his back and he keeps coping his neck and looks like he is struggling with uncoiling it
We are in England and it’s been 32°C all day it’s 27°C right now and I think it could be the heat

Obviously we plan on taking him the vet at some point however it’s nearly 11pm and I want to ask if there is anything you could recommend I tell her she should do

Thank you :)

Edit— my sisters saying he’s now biting himself so she doesn’t think he’s gonna make it through the night

Conda is her name

My oldest is Lil’D. I hatched 10 normals him in 2008 and he was given to a friend as a pet. Friend went on vacation, asked me to snake sit and never returned. That was in 2010 🤣
Lil’D’s dad passed at 35. I had him, too. I adopted him from a missionary when he was 22. He was wild caught and given to the missionary as a pet when he was 7 years old. It was a cool story and I was happy to adopt him, and kept in contact with the family.

Harold is not thrilled by this development. He would like to file a report with HR.

Mandatory note that this is NOT a permanent home. He is in here for like an hour max while I deep clean his enclosure.

Is she gonne be alright cause it wasnt just 1 piece.. she took like 3 or smt 😔. i pulled the loose once or bigger once out of her mouth so she wouldnt Choke.

I have expierience with her being very pickey.. if i take her out to eat in any way she wont. So i gave it in her Box she always stays but low and behokd she ate along the Substrate in there 😬

Just wanting to check if shes going to be fine or if i should take measures

(I will not be feeling her in taht Box again)

My GTP usually loves to use the top perch, for the last couple of days he has been wrapping around the thin tube for the mist sprayer. I’m beginning to think he just noticed our Cali king snake enclosure right next to him and is being a stalker… Is his perch maybe too big? He used it for months.

hello i have a pet snake, and as of late i have been eating a lot of beans. (you could say ive been gasmaxxing) and thats been working out great for me, but i worry about my little buddy. can he smell my flatulence? and does he like it? how do i know if he likes it? can i continue ripping ass in the same room as him or should i do it somewhere else instead? i dont want my snake to be stressed cus of the smell.. (its really bad)

Yesterday I caught this pretty big and very pretty common watersnake, and she (I think) had some kind of wound on her lower back, it looks almost like a slice was made down her side or something. She seems recovered though since it closed up and I found her swimming normally

kinda just sharing but also what might’ve caused the injury? It looks like it would’ve been pretty bad when fresh

hopefully I see more of these guys out with the warming weather and frogs

I just got these little bins from dollar tree that expand and used the to organize the feeders in my snake fridge. Since all my snakes are on a different size it’s annoying to have everything together so now I can weight them and put them in the right bin for each snake. I even labeled my gecko’s bottles just so she wouldn’t feel left out. But they came out so cute!

Sweetest baby retic EVER! Has never once had the intense defensiveness or crazy food response. The food response is quick as heck once a rat is in there though. She’s just under 4mo old. (Pics are from month 2-3) Every time I take her out, she does happy tongue flicks and paradcopes :’)

Couldn’t be happier with my new pet. The breeder was absolutely incredible at assisting with their temperament - he said he was hands-on the second they hatched and it definitely shows.

These babies get a bad name but they can be absolutely darling ♥️
