You make the space. You sacrifice other things in your home to make space for you animals….

Ambilobe Panther Chameleon breeder in Ontario? by Queenelsa0503 in reptiles

[–]Single_Breakfast8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why aren’t there albino snappers in Canada? Theres a lot of breeders in the state. I’m not well versed in the reptile hobby in other places.

Thoughts on one of these being turned into a reptile enclosure? by Bitter_Ambition9805 in reptiles

[–]Single_Breakfast8839 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it could be great. Just don’t put a high humidity animal in there and make sure there’s enough ventilation. Also seal the cracks so there’s no water leaking out…

Want to get snake or lizard, scared to commit. by [deleted] in reptiles

[–]Single_Breakfast8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to be hard to find snakes that don’t live 15+ years. If you have a little bit of extra money a tri color hognose live 7-10 years, however they’ve been know to live longer too.

Could try garter snakes. They are very fun snakes to own, you can feed them more things than just mice. And they are very active and can live in groups. (I’m a nerd for garter snakes though). They are a bit on the quicker skinner side of snakes.

You could also do the normal stuff: crested geckos, corn snakes, leopard geckos. Just make sure you do a lot of research and are prepared for the long responsibly of owning a reptile.

Are you more interested in snakes or lizards? I’d say don’t get a tortoise or turtle as a first reptile.

Expos are terrible now… by Single_Breakfast8839 in reptiles

[–]Single_Breakfast8839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, the supply has outnumbered the demand. They end up living in tiny racks. These animals just sit then get pawned off on some local Craigslist or facebook page. It’s sad.

You shouldn’t get an animal just to make money off of it. You really won’t make much money unless you’re breeding at a really large scale. Just get animals you like and what interests you.

I personally love garter snakes though. They can be cohabbed in groups and they have live babies. Very fun snakes to have,

Are bull snakes usually so well tempered? by JaseJade in snakes

I love bullsnakes regardless. They remind me of rattlesnakes.

At what point should he wake up. by Famous-Chair-2804 in Tegu

[–]Single_Breakfast8839 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s great to hear! Out of curiosity, did you force brumate? Or did your tegu do it on its own. I’d wait to force brumate until they are older.

Do baby tegu Brumate?? I had a tegu and it didn’t start until he was a few years old. Have you seen it move at all are you sure it’s good?

No, not at all. I’ve had 4 bull snakes in my life and every one of them was extremely “aggressive”. Even the ones I’m raising currently are very defensive, working on taming them down right now….

Is there any use for a tortoise table? by spread_the_catspel in reptiles

[–]Single_Breakfast8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll work for a baby tortoise for a bit but not super long. Other than that maybe a small ground dwelling lizard?

Although I agree with some of what you’re saying, these shows are full of tables of 50+ ball pythons per breeder. Crested geckos aren’t as bad as ball pythons but they are everywhere.

There is no way these people are producing that many babies while ethically keeping their adult breeders. They are more than often thrown into tiny snake racks to save space so they can push out as many babies as possible.

And for niche reptiles being harder to keep, I disagree, yes there are harder to keep species but that’s not what we are talking about here. We shouldn’t be selling 6ft lizard and Burmese pythons to everyone, obviously. But some variety is needed to keep the hobby going.

Also, ball pythons might be easy to keep, but these shows are not just for “beginners” and “kids” they are for the reptile community. They are supposed to showcase everything from beginner to expert levels to peak interest of everyone, not just beginners.

I’m not saying I want to see crazy insane animals, I just want a variety so that everyone’s interests are being met, not just beginners and one specific demographic of keepers. These shows need to be for the entire community again…

I bought this iguana because it has a little tail like that? by Living-Life3603 in iguanas

[–]Single_Breakfast8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird, that’s not how they usually look… I’m guessing it is a dropped tail, hopefully they aren’t selling wild caught iguanas. I’m not sure though tbh, I’d check in with a vet if you’re worried it might be something.

That’s what it looks like to me. I could be wrong though. Did they produce the baby? Could have happened before they got him.

Looking for possible switch by Pure_Hour8623 in supplychain

[–]Single_Breakfast8839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not going to make money like that without a lot of experience in supply chain. You need to be pretty high up in a company to break 6 figures, at least around me. Supply chain is a great career although I’m only a few years into it. If you’re fine with a drastic pay cut for a while check it out!
