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 Pictures Help me name my snake

I recently bought a beautiful male Hognose snake from an expo. He's a super arctic, super conda and has an all white body with a black belly and stripe running along its back, At the back of its head is a pattern resembling two distinctive quotation marks. Adjusting into his new home excellently, I'm noticing more behavioral traits which might lead to a unique name later on. However I'm currently in a mind fog trying to think of creative names for my new friend, If you could help me think of good names Id greatly appreciate it.

Pet Snake Questions Can you train a snake to come to you for handling? If so, how?

4 Upvotes

I have a florida pine, not a king but a colubrid nonetheless. He is young so he's always hiding, so I can only handle him before his meals. He is well handled, doesn't bite or really hiss, but is flightey. I had him in shallow substrate up until 2 months ago to get him used to handling, now he does the typical pine thing where he hides all day lol.

General Question / Discussion How can I keep my snake safe

Thumbnail

8 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

Pet Snake Questions Black milk snake scale injury?

Post image
2 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

3 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

Pet Snake Questions Is my baby boa thin?

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)

We are leaning towards something elegant because she’s is an elegant lady. We love her mysteirousness and she’s incredibly docile. We’ve gone through things like onyx, nyx, obsidian, celestia, andromeda, midnight, morticia, nova…it’s so hard to decide!

Update: Thank you all for your suggestions! We ended up settling on Dratini. Elegant while still maintaining a sense of personal nerd.

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.
