I have four, Albino Burmese, Ball, Albino Ghost Cali-King, and a Durango Mt. King...

how often are the water changes with them? LOL j/k .... nice snakes there. I'm looking to expand into salamanders myself.

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

Very Nice Natalie...you wouldn't happen to have any pictures of your collection would you?

Amel Corn
Yellow Rat
Used to have a nice male dumeril's ground boa.. i miss zeke

You should get another Dumeril's Boa, Tim. Or a Southern Hognose.

Here are some pictures of my snakes...





















I took the picture of the Goini King right after I got him... He's a bit fatter now. And the Rosy Boa is now eating hoppers rather than pinkies.

I'm going to get some Mojave Desert Sidewinders when I get my own apartment this summer.

I cant bring myself to get any venomous species. I just dont want to risk it...thought about it though.

1.0 Dumeril's boa
1.0 western hognose

Soon:

1.0 metallic ratsnake
1.2 yellow Acanthurus (Can't wait to build their enclosure.)
And a bullsnake, but I haven't decided what to get yet. I'm leaning towards a hypo stillwater bullsnake.

Cake or death?

What do the metallic Ratsnakes look like? I don't think I've ever heard of them before... Are they a morph of the Cornsnake?

If you're interested in any Pits besides Bullsnakes, these San Diego Gophersnakes look pretty nice.

Those San Diego Gophersnakes remind me of the Pacific Gopher Snake I caught in the backyard last summer. I with I could have kept him...

Natalie, that's a nice snake. There aren't many nonvenomous snakes that stay under 10' that I don't want to keep. I just don't make enough money to keep all of them at once.

They aren't cornsnakes. Vivid reptiles is the only place I've been able to find metallic ratsnakes so far. Their info is here: http://www.vividreptiles.com/psj/metallic.html They're insanely inexpensive, too.

Yeah, I tried that before. A couple years ago when I was hiking in the middle of winter (and it was raining and like 50 degrees), I found a baby Pacific Gophersnake in the middle of a trail in a meadow. Figuring it was just going to die if I left it there, I brought it home and tried to keep it. Once it warmed up though, it turned into a little monster... It would start striking against the glass if it even saw anyone in the same room. I fed it a couple times and just released it once it got warm enough outside.

I've read that any wild Pituophis are extremely hard to tame (or, rather, habituate to human contact), even if caught as babies. Also, they get like seven feet long. If you want Pit as a pet, get a captive bred one. Even then though, it is still likely you're going to have to deal with some attitude issues.

Those metallic Rats look pretty nice, especially if they truly are metallic-looking. That is a good price too.

I used to have a Ring-Neck Snake (named Fluffy)... Natalie ID'd it for me...

He died a while back, tho... He just stopped eating. He'd kill his food, but he refused to eat it. I tried all kinds of different stuff

My girlfriend has a Ball Python (named Gimmli) that's pretty fun. When we get our own place we want to get another big snake... maybe a burmese python or a boa of some sort... not sure yet. We'll probably have a snake room and a fish room

Did you try brumating it? Ringneck Snakes generally don't eat during the winter, and may starve if not cooled and allowed to hibernate.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

No, I didn't. I don't really know that much about snakes, you see. I did do some research, but I don't think I did enough. I know my fish stuff, but not my snake stuff o.O

Temp was around 65F, btw. And s/he was in the dark... no light at all...
