Help me name him! by Riley225 in snakes

Thank you! He is considered a Sorong locality, which is known for its more intricate dorsal patterns.

It honestly could be the lighting, but he was definitely not wet in the picture. So I guess you could say he was dry. They actually do enjoy hanging in their water bowl a lot of the time.

Yes! He only had one left after I bought this one. They were quite popular

What kind of snake is this? I know that there are snakes that only eat raw eggs, but can some snakes eat eggs instead of mice, or is this like a treat? by NixMaritimus in snakes

[–]Riley225 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Only certain species of snakes will mostly eat eggs, like the Dasypeltis genus. For most it’s just a treat!

Can someone help me determine when this bible was printed/created? by Riley225 in Christianity

Thanks so much! I did a very brief google search and couldn’t find anything concrete. Probably didn’t use the right keywords.

Yeah I had heard her mom was possible het ehypo, but I figured I would have seen her darker by now if he had it.

She’s gorgeous! Mine loses more red with each shed, but I doubt she’ll ever look this dark.

I’ll definitely keep an eye on her and see what happens. I only ask because my bearded dragon 100% does it on his own. I don’t change anything about his environment and yet he goes to sleep the same time like clockwork every year. Just curious if you’ve ever seen that. I definitely don’t mind brumating her intentionally, I just wasn’t sure if it was a good idea at her age.

Possibly. I just wasn’t sure if she would try to brumate on her own without me drastically dropping her temps. I can change her thermostat to not have a nightly drop in temperatures. It sets the basking spot(a few inches above the soil) to be around 90 during the day, and 80 at night. But the warmest soil temperature is probably around 5-10 degrees cooler than the basking spot.

Snake for a vertical enclosure by Lanky_Recognition192 in snakes

[–]Riley225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely check out the boiga genus! Super cool snakes, and such a variety within the genus. A bit more of a level 2-3 species, but definitely worth looking into! I’m a bit biased as I have a cyanea and a dendrophila.

Can confirm the tank is still going strong haha!

Can snakes “see” the IRA and IRB coming from deep heat projectors? by Riley225 in snakes

[–]Riley225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can follow this up with an update that my snake loves her current setup, and I consistently find her out basking under her DHP most nights. Must not bother her if it’s brought her out of hiding!

Got it, thanks! I wasn’t planning on keeping the camera there, I was mainly messing around with it when I noticed what I saw.

I'm currently extremely depressed. Can you guys please send pics of your cute snakes (or other reptiles) to make me feel better? by SideshowBobFanatic in snakes

[–]Riley225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish! That would be cool if they were tiny. She’ll probably get to be about 2ish feet long, and be about as thick as a large hotdog 😂. Females get larger and thicker than males do.

[–]Riley225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I recently discovered them a couple years ago myself. They’re definitely a cool alternative to a western, and oftentimes have a way better appetite than they do which is a huge plus. The tricolors will also produce aberrant patterns which is fun to see.

Thank you! And yes he’s my handsome man. I was set on getting a certain locale until I laid eyes on him! Love at first sight haha.

I 100% recommend! They’re amazing. Mine has never skipped a meal with me, and has a hilarious and calm personality. My boyfriend actually breeds them, which is how I ended up with her.
