Wild Snake Photos and Questions - Not for ID Three amazing, wild, vivacious timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) in New Jersey

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.

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 4ā€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.

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

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.

Pet Snake Questions What size prey?

Post image

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!

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?

Pet Snake Questions Cal King smells different

• Upvotes

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.

Pet Snake Questions I have a question

6 Upvotes

So I’m gonna keep this short or at least try too. On July 6th I had to leave my snake behind because of a situation with my grandma being in jail for a nasty situation against my mother. We couldn’t move my snake out that day and we’re going this Saturday to retrieve him with a Civil Standby since she’s there and my mom can’t be around her. I wish I could’ve moved him out myself but the tank is 75 gallons. I was able to get him water on the 6th and came back on the 11th to get some things and checked on him he was doing good and even poked his head out to greet me He still had water and I gave him some more. On the 6th I turned off his heating lamp since the upstairs was warm enough and I didn’t want him dehydrating faster and he could retain his water better. When I go get him on Saturday will he be okay? He’s a fancy ball python. I’m just worried and thought to ask this thread and kind of rant.
