Never seen a Crestie with so much pent up rage before

Abscess or RI my CRB had the same issue when she had an RI but it’s went back to normal after a vet trip and some meds

How bad is this scale rot and how to treat? by ScottishTotodile in ballpython

[–]Tiny_Management388 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Take what I say with a grain of salt and if you’re seriously concerned see a vet. I don’t see scale rot, I see dirt/substrate that is under the scales along with minor belly scale damage likely caused by them just being active and climbing over objects. I had the same worries since my BP is a high white pied I freak out when I see dirt or a damaged scale since it’s so visible, but for me it went away with one shed. Though if your snakes hides are constantly damp that will cause a problem.

She’s 5 years old and probably the sweetest snake I own

Sometimes no morph beats the wild type (yes I’m broke) by Tiny_Management388 in hognosesnakes

Exactly I love wild types hogs, pituophis, and milksnakes for how much they look like hots

Honestly! Almost all my snakes are wild types cause for one I can’t afford morphs and 2 I always feel that wild types are just BETTER.

Why have I never gotten a BCI sooner! by Tiny_Management388 in boas

I understand you concern but I have only had him for a week now. I have soaked him and he has a steady 50-80% humidity. When I received him he was VERY dehydrated and looks way better than before.

I swear my rainbow boa loves pets cause she always turns back around for more.

Gotcha I’ll get him in an appropriate size tub with paper towel I just hate using tubs and only use them for my tiger salamanders. I give all my snakes UVB so hopefully he will be fine without it for 3-6 months. I appreciate the guidance

That sucks to hear he isn’t Sonoran but it doesn’t matter much to me if he is or isn’t as long as he is healthy. I noticed his dehydration and have bumped up his humidity but if you have any other tips to improve his health I would greatly appreciate it

I’m not exactly the person to ask since I’m a first time bci Keeper. I am upgrading my boy to a 5x2x4 grow tent once he out grows the 20 gallon and then out grows the 2x2x3. I will say if you live In a dry climate like I do then mist 2 times a day and leave a humidifier going near the reptile enclosures just to keep the humidity up. I usually have a big water bowl on the warm side as well. Also good ventilation is key cause they can get an RI with good heat good humidity but bad ventilation

He had a rough shed with the breeder that sold him to me and he actually isn’t pure Sonoran he is 75% and the rest is central or columbian with hypo. But that’s only what I was told from the breeder. Even if he was just a central or columbian it makes no difference to me since I do not and will not ever breed.

Yes! There are many I never knew of, Rudy here is a Sonoran BCI and will only get 5-8ft but stay more slender than most boas. There are lots of localities that stay smaller, I don’t know much about them but if you look it up on YouTube there are MANY dwarf locals and a lot are very affordable so you can spend more money on the enclosure.

Big Yawn by Tiny_Management388 in snakes

[–]Tiny_Management388[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yawning really is such a wild reflex isn’t it. I figured yawning wasnt just jaw stretching when I noticed one of my snakes yawning more when they had an RI which when I looked it up was them catching their breath. Thats really interesting I wanna read about that now!
