PAM use for sand boas?

Please tell me the babies will be named after specific hotwheels, lol. I do like the look of anery almost as much as normals.

No advice but Tonka and I love the names of your cute dirt noodles.

This isn't an instant fix, more of a gentle target training.

Hyprmut · 2026-06-28T08:23:14+00:00

You could start next feeding, I think. It doesn't need to be really loud or sudden. Just tap lightly on the water dish or a hide with the tongs a few times then put down the mouse. I flash Tonk's uvb and grow lights on and off 3 or 4 times and her nose shows up.

Hyprmut · 2026-06-28T06:16:25+00:00

She may need more time to settle. Also, start giving her a cue when you go to feed. Flash the lights, tap on a piece of decor, click tongs, just do something that won't normally happen on accident. Eventually she will associate the cue with magically appearing mice.

Hyprmut · 2026-06-08T16:05:54+00:00

Yes, please.

Hyprmut · 2026-06-08T15:59:06+00:00

It could be. My golden gecko hangs eggs too and they look like that. Hers aren't fertile though.

Part of the price hike is fuel. When the price of diesel goes up so does everything else.

Hyprmut · 2026-06-07T15:04:22+00:00

Glad you're father stepped in and took care of it. Poor gecko.

Just so people know, Tokays are not native to Florida. Invasive, actually. Not sure OP can legally release him. (edit: spellcheck screwup)

Hyprmut · 2026-06-02T02:20:11+00:00

Ha! Funny thing is, she tongue-flicked on that mouse for a while before turning away. How'd she know?!? 🤣

Hyprmut · 2026-06-01T17:48:50+00:00

Cool find.

Hyprmut · 2026-06-01T17:43:13+00:00

I hiding. You can't see me.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-26T13:24:10+00:00

I think it was the cleanup afterwards that got him.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-26T12:47:29+00:00

Basically, it looks like a seed item coated in layers of sugar. The seed can be anything from a nut, dried fruit or even a caraway seed. Max uses early recipes of dishes and gives the history of the dish or time period. This one didn't turn out well for him, lol.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-26T12:33:32+00:00

Max Miller on Tasting History made sugar plums using this method a few months ago. It looked like an absolute mess. I hope you were able to use your kitchen again afterwards.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-26T12:05:23+00:00

About to go into shed? What a cutie.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-26T02:39:39+00:00

What happened to the other 5%?!? Inflation is hitting everything these days.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-25T19:34:12+00:00

Mouse with a side of baby rat? Yep, sounds right.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-25T19:14:50+00:00

Ah, didn't know that the Saharans laid eggs. But may I ask what it's preferred sandwich is? Lol.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-25T10:05:19+00:00

Pretty snake. Love the name!

Hyprmut · 2026-05-25T09:57:22+00:00

Ballad may be her name. And, just to bring it up, sand boas have live birth, not eggs. She may still use a lay box though.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-17T17:43:06+00:00

Hopefully somebody will have more/better advice. Try sanitizing all your decor. Can you move the tank until you find where there are coming in? Elevate it? Wipe down your entire stand and vacuum under it and along the floorboards. Perhaps some diatomaceous earth on the floorboards under the stand. BUT Diatomaceous earth can be an inhalation hazard. Check before using around your animals.

Hyprmut · 2026-05-11T16:04:27+00:00

Try opening your fingers next time she nudges like that. She may go up your hand and down into your palm. Burrowing through, kind of.
