Posted this on my tiktok but I love it lol

Nearly stepped on this little guy while watering the garden. Wife got the video. He was released safely back into the wild.

Edit: locations is central Texas

I can't stop smiling! Timber rattlesnakes are one of my favourite finds. D​espite their poor reputations (due to having evolved one of nature's most fascinating defenses), they r​eally don't want anything to do with humans, and aren't a threat if you are cautious and stay away.

All three were minimally bothered - just moved off the roads and to safety in the woods.

Will I survive this bite from my black rat snake? Who knows

we helped him off the road :)

hi, my texas ratsnake (7-8 months old) has these red marks on his scales and i havent identified them, im not sure if its scale rot or anything similar, ive been spraying affected areas with vetericyn antimicrobial every few days to no avail. does anyone recognize what's going on?

His name is Garden! He is an albino corn snake and he has a tiny gray spot on his head! (I think it’s a piece of stuck shed but idk)

He’s like 4”2 or something, he’s as long as my 4th grade sister and I don’t know her height so that’s just my guess for him.

Wanted to come on here and share this video I made. I got this snake a while back and this video is fairly old, we had someone come into the reptile shop i worked at to surrender a snake he couldn’t care for anymore, upon asking questions we realized he hadn’t even been taking proper care to begin with and it came in with stuck shed.
Im in college right now hoping to become a veterinarian in the future so i took this as a learning opportunity, obviously none of my snakes ever get stuck shed so this was the first time i had to do something like this. Before anyone says anything i conducted proper research and consulted multiple vets i’ve worked closely with.

This week when I've handled my Cal King (4-5 mo old, gender unknown), it's had a very different smell. I think it's like sulfur. The water also smelled today, so I fully changed it out with a new container. The rocks and Aspen bedding don't smell, and neither does the bottom of the plastic enclosure where it comes in contact with the heating pad. There's a layer of cloth between the pad and the bottom of the tank (on the outside of the tank). I checked the substrate - there's no poop or stinky liquid. She shed a few days ago, but the shed skin did not stink.

ideas? I was planning to feed later today, but now I wonder if I should wait.

It came out of my 1 year old male hognose today. I have a vet appointment scheduled for tomorrow, but I've been looking through different pictures of regurgitation/mucus etc and haven't found anything that looked quite like this before. I don't want to make this post too long but to put it shortly he had some symptoms that could potentially indicate very early RI but also could indicate just him having some aspen stuck in his mouth (no very obvious things like wheezing, foaming at the mouth etc), he ate last sunday, he shed last tuesday, his husbandry is pretty much spot on, but I have stressed him out a bit last week and yesterday.

I don't want a specialist diagnosis here, just what are the possibilities so that I know what can I expect tomorrow visit since I am a bit stressed. I think this is just regurgitation but idk, can it be something else?

Hellos, first time posting, not even sure if its the correct sub, but i wouldnt find the wild snakes sub. I found this guy in my house, wanted to know if it was medically relevant, for me / my cat. And if i were to relocate it, where should I? Im in Mexico Queretaro.

I just got this beautiful mosaic California kingsnake last weekend, I named her Mishka! I am still somewhat new to snakes and was wondering what size mice I should feed her? I was thinking maybe a hopper every 10ish days? I also don’t know how old she is, it wasn’t written on her container and I forgot to ask the breeder. Thanks!

Probably the largest, and most vibrant colored I have seen in my area(Atlanta, GA). Relocated her to a section of garden I won’t be messing with for awhile.

My MIL found this little guy on her boat dock. Looks like it is digesting too.

I made a post on here on the 4th of July about finding an adult rubber boa right next to our patio. Now I guess we have baby ones slithering around. I originally thought it was a giant earthworm but it was slithering instead of inching along

Finally put my idea into action and here’s how it turned out. My Semi-Arboreal snakes seem to love it!

Wanted to share for inspiration or any ideas on improving it or adding to?

I’m looking for recommendations on what snake species I should get as my first snake.
A little about me:
I’ve kept bearded dragons and tortoises before, but I’ve never owned a snake.
I have space for an enclosure up to about 7 ft × 4 ft (that’s my absolute maximum).
I’m looking for a snake that’s handleable, calm, and generally chill.
I’d like something with a decent amount of size—not tiny, but nothing giant. Around 4–8 feet would probably be my ideal range.
I’m looking for a species that’s a good display animal but also enjoys being handled when socialized.
I’m comfortable learning proper husbandry and don’t mind feeding frozen/thawed rodents.
What species would you recommend, and why? Are there any species you think I should avoid as a first-time snake keeper?e
