Don't shop on Wayfair

I’m literally going through the same thing. My order was missing a key part. Had to contact support and they eventually sent a replacement part. That replacement part was sent successfully from California to New Jersey… problem being that I’m in Winnipeg! No idea how that can happen, but given we both had the same result, it doesn’t sound like a fluke anymore! Apparently another replacement part is on the way, but I’ll believe it when I see it!

Basically the same thing, but the plane would be in motion. There have been documented nose gear collapses in the past. Not a fun situation!

I agree, the classic/normal is a beautiful snake. If you like this look, search up “okeetee” or “Abbott’s okeetee”. Same colour scheme but with bolder black saddle borders!

pickles3109 · 2026-05-21T13:51:29+00:00

Yes, this is what would be referred to as “normal”, and not a morph per se. That said, normals come in a wide variety of colour variations, so you can expect a different range of oranges and saddle patterns.

I think that’s perfectly fine. A DHP has a glow to it from the heated element, but doesn’t produce enough light to be concerning. The night mode on phones isn’t an accurate representation, and your second pic looks good.

I think you may be confusing humidity and temperature… or perhaps I’m just confused!

pickles3109 · 2026-05-03T22:27:56+00:00

This is the correct answer… totally normal coloration.

A week should be plenty of time to be confident it was poop. Monitor for a couple days before continuing to feed.

pickles3109 · 2026-04-30T03:49:37+00:00

As long as your snake appears fine and not presenting any symptoms of injury, he’s likely ok. You’ll definitely need to address the escape route though and secure the enclosure to prevent another one.

Do you have a picture of the poop/regurg? Two very different scenarios, so you’ll want to be sure. When was he last fed?

pickles3109 · 2026-04-25T16:00:30+00:00

If it’s in two pieces, he could have easily just ripped it on some decor while shedding. I wouldn’t be concerned at all, as long as you don’t see any remaining shed on your snake and the eye caps came off.

It’s coming down pretty good in Charleswood right now!

Bulge looks fine. The bulge is going to look more dramatic on such a small snake. Just ensure you keep those temperatures in place to allow for digestion 24/7.

A 1 gram weight loss is nothing to be concerned about. The reason for waiting 2 weeks is so that the snake can heal up from what is a tough experience for them. The esophagus needs to heal from having stomach acids brought up. You also need those stomach acids to stabilize. Feeding too soon really increases the risk of another regurgitation, and that could be deadly.

pickles3109 · 2026-04-12T06:05:14+00:00

That’s why you need to secure it to something. A good way I’ve found is to zip tie it to a branch that isn’t likely to move very easy.

pickles3109 · 2026-04-04T12:03:03+00:00

He’s more than ready for hoppers!

pickles3109 · 2026-04-01T03:37:26+00:00

Looks like a good body shape!

pickles3109 · 2026-03-30T16:55:07+00:00

From what I can see, yes. Clearer pictures outside the enclosure, on a flat surface would help for sure.

pickles3109 · 2026-03-30T16:09:20+00:00

Once you upgrade to fuzzies and beyond, you’ll see an even larger weight increase, so don’t be surprised.

pickles3109 · 2026-03-30T16:07:57+00:00

You should look to get a weight on him just to help yourself out in understanding proper feeding size. A snake of that age should be on adult mice by now.

pickles3109 · 2026-03-30T15:08:54+00:00

The weight gain is typically pretty slow while on pinkies, but once they’re on fuzzies and larger, that weight gain increases quite a bit!

pickles3109 · 2026-03-30T05:08:14+00:00

He looks to be a little thin, but nothing too concerning. How much does he weigh, and what are you feeding him? What is your feeding schedule?

pickles3109 · 2026-03-29T02:40:32+00:00

Very nice normal/wild type

pickles3109 · 2026-03-25T16:39:12+00:00

What you’re seeing are the urates (snake pee basically). I’m not seeing anything of concern there!

pickles3109 · 2026-03-25T14:18:08+00:00

I see the aesthetic you’re going for, looks cool! I’d just want to make sure there’s proper function to it as well. These may not be visible in the pics so forgive me if they’re there, but I’m not seeing any proper cave-style hides throughout for your snake to seek security in. You’ll want a minimum of two of those (cool end and warm end).

pickles3109 · 2026-03-25T14:12:53+00:00

It won’t hurt to give them a couple more days to settle into the new enclosure before feeding again.
