Our Guest for the week

Nice, I used to keep Leos. Now I have a corn snake and just got myself a Royal Python last weekend. Finished setting up the new ceramic heaters at 2am this morning.

geckos have reserve tails :p , if they lose one, they can just grow one back.. can only happen once thogh. pretty cool.

The regrown tails never look as nice as the originals though. One of my adult leos had a regrown tale.

I don't mind lizards or insects or even frozen dead mice - I've seen pinkies before as my friend has a pet snake. It's just I get a little cringey around spiders/tarantulas... meh.

My wife will not let me keep a tarantula, I keep asking but she keeps saying no :( She is a complete arachnaphobe though, I guess I'm lucky she's OK with snakes.

Im thinking about getting a Carolina Corn Snake (bright Orange), are they easy to look after??

Doesnt the Royal Python grow upto 5ft in length?
 
Geckos are nice little pets, I've got three of them. They like tormenting my cat Fizz, he'd love to get past the glass to them and they know it so they go right up to the glass and he gets really angry with them :p

In other news, I have a Bearded Dragon called "Doctor John Zoidberg" (don't call him Mister). I have been convinced it was a male for almost two years until it started laying eggs last week. Now he is a she called "Doctor Joan Zoidberg".

My corn is a carolina (Classic) and yes the python could grow up to 6ft but then again so could a corn snake. The python is just a lot chunkier. Average length is probably 4-5 ft.

Even this juvenile python is already on medium mice, my corn is still on fuzzies (Had made it to small mice but didn't eat for along time so lost weight)

Corns are very easy to look after, they're very docile but you can certainly tell when they're angry :p

I have a Gecko, have done owned one for about 8 months. Have you tried feeding it moth maggots yet? They love 'em.

Waxworms :p

They do love them but they're very high in protein, use them as a treat.
 
Thats cool,

I used to have a pair of Green Anoles when I was @ Uni.

All was well until the crickets escaped and moved in the floor space under the shower room, very mediteranean though,.....,......

D.
 
I love gecko's :) I'd love one but I think my doggie and cats would make its life a misery :(

Used to have an iguana many years ago, big he was, way cool, and a chilli rose tarantula. He used to eat live crickets and locusts (which always seemed to be mating!?!) which my ex bought from the pet shop.
 
That is so cute :). I'd love to have something like that, but I really don't like bugs, and I don't think I'd be too happy feeding dead mice to a pet either.
 
Mic thinks I'm weird - I have no problem with dead mice, its just the bugs that get to me - I'm not sure I could even handle dead bugs
 
I think we're gonna get one next year in our house.

Wouldnt mind feeding it frozen food but wouldnt wanna pick up crickets all the time.
 
Yeah. About 4 crickets per day. Can also feed them on wax worms (like magot bit with ickle legs), locusts and really really small pinkie mince to adults. not all will want to take them). oh and meal worms.

They require a a substraight like sand, bark. Something to climb on but not too high. They are good climbers but they arn't the type who can climb flat surfaces and you'll find on your ceiling. And also a place to hide.

Require shallow water (crickets can drink from it to), a heat source but unlike most they don't require a UV lamp.

Mine has a heat lamp which is on for 12 hours a day via a timer. And then there is a heat mat under the substraight which is on 24/7. The hide needs to be the opposite side of the varium than the heat sources.

Ummmm anything else anyone wants to no?

Simple as Simon.

No you can't, it's illegal to feed any live mammals to a pet, unless the pet literally can't eat anything else.
My friend who is an animal "type" says that if you feed live mice to animals they have to have a means of escape, they can't just be dumped in a glass container to face certain death. How does the law work with that?
