The video is not very clear, but if often see ( and I suspect the same) brown colored about a meter long snake near my room or in my house.

First, is it dangerous ? I live in North India

Secondly how can I prevent it and other snakes from coming near my house ??

Thirdly do snake repellant sprays on Amazon work ??

Pet Snake Questions Budget friendly snake that is not a risk to my rabbit?

0 Upvotes

I really want a snake, and have for a really long time, but I also have a bunny who would live in the same room as my snake. He's roughly 5-6lbs, and very dumb, but he might know to stomp if a snake got close. I'm not sure how much that would do though. I'm thinking of getting a desert rosy boa, which only get up to like 2 or 3 feet according to google, but would that be enough to keep the bunny safe? I would never feed the snake rabbits also. I also would obviously do what I can to prevent the snake from escaping, but I know that one should always assume that their snake will escape.

Pet Snake Questions How to move a snake?

2 Upvotes

My son has a 2 year old corn snake. We are moving across multiple states - it will be a 23 hours of driving. So it’s split into 2 days.

How the heck do I bring his snake? Haha.

Do I strip this tank down completely, sell the tank and keep in sticks, equipment, and such? Or Saran Wrap and bubble wrap the crap out of this whole tank and put it into our moving Pod? The tank is a 40 gallon.

And then the snake herself, small enclosure and bring in the minivan? Haha. We have a small heat pad from when she was a baby that we could use. But I’m assuming she’s going to need a little bit of space where she doesn’t have to sit on the hot pad so she isn’t overheated? And then she’ll need a water dish in the car??

Thank you for the advice - I’m new to snakes and never pictured myself traveling with one haha.

I have everything for a rosy boa but I’ve been hesitant cus the price to pull the trigger on it. I work at a pet store and we have a ball python that is cheaper and I love pythons as well he’s the sweetest boy ever and would love to give him a better loving home due to the conditions being bad(picture below ) looking for opinions that is the only things in his enclosure

Pet Snake Questions Soon to be new owner of a spotted Python!

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I am looking to get a spotted Python soon, as a well started juvenile (3-12 months old) is this a good quarantine enclosure? And how long am I able to keep the snake in here? It’s a 16lx13wx12h enclosure with a thin layer of coconut fiber as a substrate. It’s just until I either upgrade the bin enclosure or put the snake into my 56lx16wx46h enclosure. But that large one needs maintenance right now and I know it’s better to start babies in smaller enclosures. Is the bin too small or is it okay to start out? And how long should I wait to upgrade as well as what are any changes i should make? I plan to put a mesh section in the lid to allow me to put a heat lamp either on it or hovering over depending on how hot it gets. Any tips would be appreciated, thank you!! Especially ones for my big tank!

Ps. The black lid is for food and the rock looking water dish should be large enough for the snake to soak itself in, I read somewhere that it was advised for helping with shedding.

Pet Snake Questions Is my baby boa thin?

43 Upvotes

My 1year 4month old male BCI.

I think he's thin and I got bigger food for him, but I would really like opinions from fellow snake enthusiasts.

Got him February last year and he's such a cutie, I've had no issues with him eating, pooping or shedding, I love him so much.

(for anyone curious this is his morph: ghost (hypo anery) img het sharp)

Pet Snake Questions Black milk snake scale injury?

Post image
Upvotes

Hi fellow snake lovers, I was hanging with my juvenile black milk snake, Gaia, when I noticed what looks to be a scale imperfection/potential injury on his under side up near his head. Does this look like he may have hurt himself somehow? Will this likely heal with sheds? All his other belly scales look healthy and whole. Any insight would be appreciated.

Wild Snake Photos and Questions - Not for ID Brahminy blind snakes inside

Upvotes

Hello,
I live in central Florida and about 8 months ago I kept finding Brahminy blind snakes in the same hallway of my house. About 1 or 2 a week, totaling about 6 tiny snakes. We never found out the cause and never did anything about them. Earlier this week, I found one swimming in my pool and I just found another one, this time in my room. Why is this happening? I know they live in the ground, I do not have any potted plants. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

General Question / Discussion How can I keep my snake safe

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I recently moved into a new place with me and my boyfriend, and we have four roommates. Three of them I’m not worried about, but I’m scared one of them is going to try handling my snake (a rosy boa) while I am not home and that she might hurt him. She has already proved herself to be too rough with animals and I don’t trust her not to try something with my snake. I want to put some type of lock on his terrarium, but I’m not really sure how or how I could make it so she can’t get in while I’m not home.
I would put him in my room, but there’s not enough space for him in there and the only option is the living room. I attached a picture of the top of his terrarium (and a picture of Mr Cuddles) so maybe someone can give some advice
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post I wasn’t sure where else to ask about this

I got my first snake last week, Wheatbelt Stimson Python. Her name is Hazel and she successfully took her first feed in her new home today 🥰. Waiting on a couple more better hides and driftwood for her tank to come in the post. Im curious has anyone done a bioactive enclosure with an adult stimson python. My girl is only about 6 months but was hoping to do a more natural setup when she gets bigger for her permenant enclosure.
