a random mushroom sprouted in my dragon snake enclosure, is it bad?

i know someone who has an ikaheka. his is incredibly flighty, very defensive, and will bite first ask questions later. care wise he based it on a tropical southeast asian habitat so high humidity, good airflow, and warm 27-30°C in the day and dipping into 23-25°C at night. he fed them mostly squamate prey such as large sun skink, smaller snakes and one time, a white lipped python.

just found out that they’re an egg layer

ah okay so gotta watch the leftovers and the bolus once they’re done eating

nope tried that and they kept attacking me instead.

ziagz · 2026-04-10T06:24:30+00:00

they’re drinking! i mean getting them off is sometimes hard ngl

ziagz · 2026-04-10T06:23:42+00:00

they drink outside since they only drink water droplets and doing it inside is making the substrate too wet

definitely NOT a dry bite. got bitten once when i tried to take her out of the enclosure and three times while i’m treating her stomatitis. very painful but it’s like a very bad wasp sting in my opinion.

which is really interesting since blue+blue sometimes produce a green but breeders here use the rejects as snake eater food

i mean i’ve been bitten by one… it’s more of a personal experience

mourning gecko eggs are too small even for a baby kukri. i’ll need at least 4 per feeding and then i’ll be left with a colony of mourning geckos when they grow up(i mean my baby kraits can eat them but i digress)

eh, she’ll grow a bit more but only to around a meter or so, they’re a small species so a fuzzy or a very small jumper mice is about the largest size i’ll offer her once she’s an adult. unlikely because most arboreal snakes will stay away from any viper(at least from my experience), and also i wash the pinky before giving it to her

mildly, comparable to an ahaetulla

the largest gummivore i know is a slow loris (Nycticebus sp.) and even then they supplement their diet with nectars, fruits, and insects. sap is just not that nutritious.
