I just keep mine in a sterlite tub with a ton of leaves, dirt, cork bark, and sticks. They loooove leaf litter as well as things like carrot peels. I have a UTH stuck to the bottom of the tub and I use a Grow Pro Digital LED Thermostat to regulate it so it doesn't get too hot and melt the tub. They seem to be thriving. I also toss in springtails/isopods to eat dead roaches and their waste.

Get a plastic tub, poke holes on the lid, keep a heat pad underneath. Feed them cricket food, water crystals, and oranges. The oranges makes them super horny. Also, make sure that it is humid so they can shed shells. After a year they were pumping out more than my bearded Dragon could eat. Then, he just stopped eating them altogether and I just sold them. Overall, super easy and definitely worth it to do so.

Blue-tongues are more expensive and harder to find. Unless you live in a backwater, you'll probably be able to find a bearded dragon. You probably won't be able to find a skink. You can always ship overnight (which is pretty safe), but that's an extra $40 a pop on a reptile that will probably be $100-200 already.

I find my skink more comfortable to hold and pick up than a bearded dragon but he can also slip out easier.

Yes that's called a rheostat or whatever you will need a separate thermometer to measure the heat of the bedding /glass with a surface Temp thermometer then . this temp wont adjust automatically like when using a thermostat so that's the drawback you must adjust the temp with the dimmer frequently .

No. Dimmers put the source to a certain setting. Any dimmer of any kind is unsafe and not adequate for heat control. If you use a dimmer it's best to only be used for lights to lower the light output, you should always use a thermostat as the main source of heat control. I wouldn't even use a dimmer as a temporary control unless it was for a few days to a week while a thermostat was coming in.

And you don't see them built in because the pads that do have dimmers built in they are extremely unreliable and break quick;y. Not that the heat pads themselves are reliable.

Well my new girl arrived Tuesday, she's a Picasso stripe BRB, around 3 months old. She was born July 30. I'm hoping she'll have settled in enough to eat something tomorrow or the next day. I don't have any mouse fuzzies on hand, so I'll be trying her with some of my smallest hopper mice. She is a bit bigger than my other BRB was when he arrived, but she's nearly a month older than he was when I got him, weighing in at 49 grams; he was 40 grams when I got him.

These photos don't show her crazier patterns, but once she eats I'll take a few more pictures of the other side where she's got some of that striping going on.

Melanistic and leusictic beardies almost certainly exist, but I don't think anyone's got the right gene combination down for it yet. So they'd be really really expensive if you did find one.

I keep corn snakes and I'm about to get a cockatiel, is there any chance that a corn could kill it if they escaped? The oldest corn I have right now is around 120 grams.

I'm worried about it because there's been a couple of times where they've escaped for maybe around 30 minutes, either because they crawled out of their feed bin while I wasn't looking, or because someone forgot to close their bins.

at 120grams? probably not right now, but it could potentially become an issue later.
If you want both the best thing to do is to make sure your tiel is kept in a separate room, and to keep watch on your snakes at all time when they aren't in their cage.
I'd recommend you just not feed them out of cage at all, if they occasionally get away from you

They've only ever gotten out of the feed bin once, and I've never let them out of sight after the one time.

I don't like to feed in the cage because it makes one of the snakes aggressive when being picked up, even though I handle them almost daily.

I use a sterlite tub with lid as a feed bin. If you secure the lid you don't really have to watch them while they eat. I usually place mine in the bin with the frozen thawed prey for 45 minutes, close the lid, turn out the lights, and leave them alone. Seems to work the best.

So a friend told me it's bad that I have a feeding bucket for my leopard gecko.

It's an plastic easter bucket like pic related, but a bit taller. I dump the crickets or dubia roaches into it and then remove the gecko from her tank and put her in there with them.

At first, I did this because she was too clumsy to hunt them in her tank, so I wanted to make it easier on her, but it became a habit over time, and I like watching her eat both for entertainment and to be sure of her intake. She usually eats everything within 10-15 minutes and then I put back in her tank.

Is my friend full of shit, or should I stop doing this?

Most likely that isn't the issue, feeding in the enclosure doesn't make snakes aggressive. They aren't aggressive, they're defensive. If feeding in the enclosure would cause anything, it would be mistaking your hand for food, not making them defensive. Which it doesn't do that either, a snake is going to mistake your hand for food no matter where you feed it, it's just what they do.

How do you reach in to get your snakes? How big are the enclosures and how big are the snakes? What are your temps like? How do you feed them? Have you tried handling them less? Every day is a bit excessive, most snakes will not put up with that amount of handling. Some will, some won't, but this defensiveness you're describing shows some sign of stress. Are they ok once you have them out? It's really common and normal for snakes to be a bit defensive or flighty in the cage and then calm once you have them out. After all, to them you're a predator swooping into their safe space to eat them in that moment.

It's not just that he's the cutest shit I've ever seen. I also love getting into the husbandry aspect. It feels good just cleaning everything and making sure he's eating properly and stuff.

Yeah I guess it's not really aggressive, but more like the snake thinks my finger is a mouse. It's only one of the snakes that acts like that, and yeah he's flighty when I take him out of his cage, after he comes out he's perfectly calm. He also likes to strike right after feeding, again because he thinks my finger is food. I keep my hands clean while feeding because I use long chopsticks, so I chalk it up to him being slightly retarded.

I keep them in 15 qt bins with a temp gradient of about 72 on the cool side and 85 on the hot side. I'm feeding them on the lighter end of the Munson plan. When I say I handle them almost every day, it's mostly just me checking in on them, tidying up, and holding them up for a couple of minutes. I generally handle them for long periods of time maybe once a week.

Am I the only one who thinks that this snake is just an agressive feeder, no matter what the prey is or what size or amount of hair it has?

If it was a 7m retic it wouldn't go for your fingers but for you, but not because of what you look like.

Nope, I'm thinking the same thing. Some snakes are just like that.

Here is one of my many snakes (though the snake I am most found of) my only Brazilian out of 5 pythons, 4 garters, and assorted lizards.

Recently I decided to leave the place I was living at (which was my step dads home). I couldn't take my reptiles on the first night because it was a long drive, and I wasn't equipped to take them all. (I decided to move as a last minute decision, getting fucked over, the house being infested with rodents and sewer back up). Someone (who I believe is my man-child brother) decided to let my BRB out of it's enclosure into the house. I was super worried about the cats and gave up hope looking for her. Luckily I found her under a drawer pull some days later. She had scale rot though, presumably I believe she took refuge to the sewage for moisture (which is under the hot water tank for heat). It's been a health of a month, but I nipped it in time. Once I move in January I am getting her a mate and selling off a few of my other animals. She's only 9 months old. She's a beefy one.

Yeah I can see her beefiness, unless that's a meal where she's going over the bowl? haha

And thanks for the compliment! She's one of my favorites in the looks department of my 8 snakes, the other being my sunglow boa.

It looks like my snakes are beginning their next round of shedding. So far the retic and the older BRB are in shed, so I guess I wait and see how long it takes the other 6 to shed. I don't think the new girl will shed this time, though, as she shed 2-3 weeks ago according to the breeder. But the last 2 times I had all 7 snakes shed at the same time.

Nope, she's due for a meal tomorrow. Pooped last night.

Yeah, I browsed your photos actually and saw you're red tails and sunglow. I wish they weren't illegal where I am. Even Brazilians are.
And nice. My snakes aren't in sync at all. My ball pythons are all different. Most are 5+ and only shed every few months. My garters are sync because they're cohabited together. My geckos are all different too.

I've googled this but couldn't find any answers so I'll ask here.
My leo walks on the tops of his hands, why is that? Like, when he walks the bottoms of hands are facing up towards him.
I've also noticed he tends to shed about once every 3 weeks, is that normal for a 2 year old leo?

Still hasnt pooped since I posted that.
I soaked him yesterday and gave him a couple drops of olive oil I'm gonna do more soaking tonight.
He still has a full appetite and is just as active if not more. Should I stop worrying as much or should I still worry? It's been 10 or so days since actual poop

All my snakes are different ages. But even my 9 year old ball python and 4 year old BCI have gone from shedding every 3-4 months to matching their sheds to the babies' and subadults' schedules of 1-3 months. Once I got my 4th or 5th snake they started to all line up, it's so weird.

It may be the lighting, unless that's just a compliment. She's definitely very pretty! I think this is my favorite picture of her colors, it's so close to how she looks when she's at her brightest.
