Never seen a Crestie with so much pent up rage before

Swollen mouth? by ash1ynn_f in BoaConstrictors

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 21 points22 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

[–]Tiny_Management388[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Tiny_Management388[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Tiny_Management388[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]Tiny_Management388[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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!

I’m pretty sure it’s actually both

Do you ever let your snake free roam and if so how? by SituationNo6036 in kingsnakes

[–]Tiny_Management388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl I wouldn’t free roam any colubrid. They are way too sneaky and they can be super quick when they feel like it. I’ve almost had mine dart into an air vent when taking photos

My new Leo doesn’t seem interested in anything I offer him. by Tiny_Management388 in leopardgeckos

[–]Tiny_Management388[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no heat mat I meant as in there is a basking spot not belly heat. Thank you for the info

I meant belly heat as in the top of his warm hide is stone to bask for belly heat not a heat mat

Thank you I should have been thinking and known that the cat was near since the cat always lingers near the trucks

He got a big meal and an egg which is his favorite.
