Look who creeped under my fence today looking for some food. What a cutie. Black Racer snake in Central Florida! I’ve been randomly finding his shedded skin and finally spotted the little guy.

I have wanted a burm since I was a kid and finally at 36 years old got my girl! As far as I know she’s a albino granite burm. She was born early September 2026 and Is about 29 inches as of this week. I don’t have a scale yet to monitor weight but she looks healthy to me. I just wanted to share this because of how excited I am and most people aren’t into reptiles so don’t get the hype. Let me know what you guys think and if there’s any tips you may have. I’ve had other snakes and reptiles but never a giant one like this.

Was down by a river in Austin area of Texas and seen this pretty sizeable Coral snake. I estimate it was between close to 3 ft long. Diameter of the body was close to an inch maybe 3/4 inch. Here are the photos I took. Wish I had something in the picture for scale. Enjoy.

They often live in roofs and keep the mice population down.

It was about six feet long and very very thick. Could this be a record?

About two months ago my neighbor called me in a panic asking if I could come get a snake out of her yard. Well I had the pleasure of picking up the biggest snake I have ever held and also saving him/her from being beheaded.

I released it into my backyard over near a large woodpile and a shed full of mice/rats and thought it was the last I’d see of my friend. But this morning when I went outside there they were chilling by my porch. The regal lord of my backyard come to pay me a visit and say thanks for being a friend!

Thank you for your time lovely snake people! And if you ever encounter a creepy critter please be kind or consult your local critter witch for help. 💜

Husband got an amazing pic of our tree boa. Wanted to share with people I know would appreciate it. 😋

Hi all,

My roommate got a juvenile female gopher snake about a month or so ago. She’s currently about 7 months old, I believe. She gets offered one pinky per week. She has eaten two, but has not eaten in the past 3 weeks. My roommate says she is looking skinny, so I suggested taking her to the vet. They said no, “I’m not doing that for a snake” (which I think is an awful attitude, your pet is your responsibility!!!). I’ve found some local vets that could work, but I’m not sure how serious the situation is, and maybe I’m just overreacting. I have never cared for a juvenile snake before, so I’m not sure if my concern is overblown or not.

My boy, year and a half old bullsnake just went into brumation. And I just made his next enclosure size up. I’m guessing I should wait until he comes out in march-april to replace the enclosure, right?

And, he hasn’t eaten in a while, been shedding since last Monday. Is it possible to offer food while he’s hibernating, or would that be ill advised due to digestion issues following brumation?

The picture is from Me checking on him after cleaning up some poop. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We're working our way up to a fully bioactive ball python enclosure. Is there a list of plants that are safe for them? It seems like everything I look up is unsafe.

Thanks!

I live in NorCal and winters can decently cold here, we don't get snow but it can drop into the 40s-30s at night. I have my snakes on timed plug-ins right now to regulate their heat lamps but I want to make sure they aren't getting too cold at night, what do y'all recommend? Just something to help keep them in the safer 70°+ area during the colder parts of winter and fall. Not really an issue in the spring and summer since our apartment can normally hold room temp pretty well, and the higher temp snakes have pretty good insulation (humidity lids and a foam background for one)​

Is there a good timer for flipping lights off and heaters on at night?

I'm also looking into a proper thermostat system now that I have more than one enclosure, so if y'all have any specific recommendations for that I would very much appreciate it.

They were so stinky smelly, I walked them a good mile down the road. I could’ve spared some quail eggs but they had to go and kill three of my birds and not eat any of them instead 🙄

She was previously in sand because her previous owner didn't do any research and I didn't have the money to invest in getting her anything fancy and didn't want to disrupt her while she was having feeding issues. But now that she's eating, she's fresh out of sand and into an aspen coconut mix and thriving ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Hey everyone,

I’m currently planning to add a False Water Cobra to my collection and am looking for recommendations for reputable, ethical breeders located in Michigan or the surrounding Midwest/Great Lakes area.

Ideally, I’d love to do a local pickup or meet at one of the regional reptile expos (e.g., Taylor, Kalamazoo, or Tinley), but I'm also open to breeders who safely ship when the weather permits.

Health, good genetics, and well-started hatchlings taking frozen/thawed prey are my top priorities. If you’ve purchased a Falsie from someone you trust or know of breeders currently producing or planning clutches, I’d really appreciate your recommendations and experiences!

Thanks in advance!

here's my sweet boy samson :-) he's 10 years old

Hi, I have never owned a snake (nor do I plan to) but watching some youtube videos about them I was wondering if the enclosures are too small? Callmethelamp has many species but their habitats seem so small and simple.

Just for my own learning/curiosity - are these bad examples of habitats for snakes? Don't they need enrichment like other animals?

Thanks for answering my probably dumb questions!
