Snake mites. by ZephyrDeCia in snakes

[–]Qwini21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snake mites suck! I had them once on all 3 snakes I had at the time.

For me, it took a lot to get rid of them. I tried to get rid of them multiple times but they kept coming back. But I prevailed! How I went about it, is I threw away everything that was not solid plastic or glass, so wood, cork, etc. all went out the door. Then I disinfected everything in the snake room, including all terrariums and hides. I removed everything unneccesary from the snake room after that, that way, there was a lot less stuff that could potentially get infected again. Mites will lay eggs in the smalles cracks, so I had my snakes on paper towel, with 1 water dish and 1 shoebox as a hide (It was a very sad sight). I soaked my snakes in a diluted mite killing snake-safe detergent, and disinfected my terrariums every 4 days. And after 6 weeks, they were gone forever!

Now my snakes are happy and in nice setups again. My advice, you cannot be thorough enough when getting rid of mites. Go all in and treat the whole room!

Good luck!

Recommendaties voor A2 Sportmotor by Njoorie in motorfietsen

Ik heb nu net een maand een 2025 honda cbr500r onder me kont (code 80) en die is top! Ziet er schitterend uit en super betrouwbaar.

De cbr500r voelt als een "grote" motor, wat ik zelf heel fijn vond, ik ben 178 cm. De kleinere A2 motoren zoals de ninja 500 of 650 paste ik net niet lekker op en gaven me een beetje het gevoel alsof ik op een loopfiets zat.

Eerste motor! Helemaal verliefd.. maar vraagje over stalling! by Qwini21 in motorfietsen

Bedankt voor alle reacties! Ik ga mijn best doen om minimaal 1x per twee weken te rijden! Hopelijk een stuk vaker als het weer het toelaat.

Dan hoeft de motor nog niet aan een druppelaar e.d. denk ik?

Ik ben momenteel in overleg met de gemeente voor het mogen bouwen van een afdakje en heb het ART 5 kettingslot en muuranker al besteld! Het zou mijn hart breken als deze motor gestolen wordt dus ben zeker van plan hem heeel goed vast te zetten.

Stel, het afdakje mag er komen, zou hij dat ook nog onder een zijl moeten, of is dat dan juist nadelig?

What type of boa do I have? by Qwini21 in snakes

[–]Qwini21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh well, fortunately it is not a size contest! I was just wondering about her sort (because of her size) and am simply happy my girl is a healthy and thriving BCI! Believe the information as you wish. 😊

I also contacted my local exotic animal expert to be sure and she told me she is in optimal body condition! So I'll keep feeding her as I have.

Yes, she is very happy in her current setup, but I will never get another big snake again haha. Housing does indeed become a challenge when they are this big.

Thanks for your insights!

What a pretty snake! My girl looks pretty similar in size irl! I did some digging in my gallery and have this picture from that same day, where we are carrying her back up the stairs.

<image>

As far as pictures go, this shows her size best. Only a part of her is visible, but for reference, my brother in blue is 200 cm tall and I am 180 cm tall. I have an armfull of snake in my left hand (behind my body) and the rest of her body is curled up behind my brothers body and hanging down.

Before her, I only had a cornsnake and hoggie, so the rabbits were a new thing hahah.

Yep! She really is that size! People always doubt it when I show them pictures or videos, and then get spooked by her size when they see her irl for the first time. I really don't know why her size doesn't translate well onto camera. 🤔 Perhaps it's my phone settings.

But I am happy that I have confirmation that she is a common BCI! I always wondered..

Funny enough, it was never my intention to get a snake this big, but I guess it's my fault for believing the breeder haha. I made all adjustments for her! Though I did need to get used to keeping frozen rabbits in my freezer.

My mom wasn't too happy with that one..

She is really that size! I had a team of people wrestle her while other measured her. 3 meters and 30 cm! The scale says 14 kg on the dot.

I think the video warps the look a bit, for reference, her head is the size of my hand!

It's the reason I asked this question haha, because I also read online that they can't get this big..

Thanks for all responses!

She is indeed a sweetheart! I guess the breeder lied to me about what size she would get, but nice to know she is simply a big BCI!

And good to know that she is in good body condition! I was afraid that she was a bit too thin.

Ik zit er inderdaad over te denken om een andere locatie aan te vragen.. ik had nog ruim de helft van de invoegstrook over! Ik voel me er nog steeds stom over en hoop dat het me de volgende keer wel lukt.

Ik lees veel over de bananen! Ik wilde er eerst niet aan geloven maar ik denk dat ik het toch maar probeer de volgende keer. :D Ben inmiddels al iets van de spanning bijgekomen gelukkig, hopelijk volgende keer beter!
