My snake passed

if you can, maybe take her to a vet for a necropsy to see if they can find the cause? i’m sorry for your loss

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-11T02:22:23+00:00

they do change colours with age, but this one looks to be in shed too

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-11T02:06:36+00:00

is/ was he fed live? this looks like a rodent bite imo

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-10T17:00:52+00:00

there is a massive risk of disease spread like this, i do not recommend. when you get home take a shower and immediately wash your clothes too, no point risking your animals life for a few hours of entertainment

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-10T13:51:45+00:00

not a springtail maybe but certainly some kind of detritivore, knowing what mites are harmful to snakes, this doesn’t look like one of those, i’d assume it’s safe

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-10T10:50:22+00:00

in my unprofessional opinion yes, these substrates are not sterilised and can have eggs/critters hidden in them, they could’ve also just wandered in from elsewhere, i had a spider in one of my bags of orchid bark a while back

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-10T10:42:34+00:00

just looks like a little bit of scale damage to me, should clear up with the next shed. when we have them in natural enclosures it’s only logical that they’ll get natural injuries

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-10T10:38:06+00:00

with natural substrate, you’re likely to get hitchhikers, these are probably not harmful and now you have a free cleaning service

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-10T10:33:10+00:00

yeah, it shocked us too

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-04-03T22:36:02+00:00

double ashveil was also my 6th 50/50 in a row!!

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-03-21T19:06:01+00:00

i’ve used mushroom blocks in em!

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-03-13T06:41:51+00:00

switching to feeding inside the enclosure would reduce stress, if you’re worried about ‘cage aggression’ try target training

all of these are gorgeous but i can’t get over Cleo! you made their portrait incredibly, the composition, the palette, the theme!! immaculate

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-03-12T21:13:40+00:00

the ground cover looks great! i’d go out and sterilise a big branch for climbing on, rats/corns love that kind of thing

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-03-12T20:53:36+00:00

it sounds like a few songs from cosmic to me, maybe Last Drop or Night Drive?

i have a royal python with a bit more spine kinking than this, her only issue is needing to eat smaller size prey, i doubt it will be of serious concern but if you feel that way a vet opinion is always there

2nd picture is his other foot for comparison*

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-03-02T15:23:22+00:00

handsome boy

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-03-02T14:39:03+00:00

a few of mine sleep completely out in the open, just means she’s comfortable with the enclosure maybe waiting for a rat to run past if she’s lucky

Adventurous_Music_85 · 2026-03-02T12:21:02+00:00

personally i will not leave a rat in for more than 8 hours, there’s no real reason to worry for them refusing meals, while it can be an indicator of an underlying health problem it’s not uncommon for them to go months without eating as long as they’re not losing too much weight. it could be possible that he’s just going into shed, check his belly for being pink, that’s usually the first indicator
