I took her out the other day and noticed some black spots developing and I'm getting concern. I believe it's scale rot but not positive. Any knowledge and advice would be greatly appreciated on how to handle the situation ..read more

Hi, first time poster. I live in a bushland area in QLD, where we regularly see snakes around the home. Most common are the Coastal Carpet Pythons, which we respectfully share our home with - typically up on the roof, gutters, and in the carport. We have a 2m python currently curled up on the deck perched atop a couple of stools. The python has been no trouble at all, but I am worried there might be something wrong as it has not left this spot and does not show much interest when I come... Read more ..read more

Hi all, I've got a 6ft enclosure which is 60cm high. I'm struggling to keep it heated overnight in a few of the last cold nights. Trying to get this right before I move my snake in to his new home.

However, after one night of testing I woke up to a bad... Read more ..read more

I've just purchased 2 baby ridgies and I wanted some clarification on "how hot is too hot" for their basking spot so to speak.

Can my babies withstand this amount of heat or should I improvise and change their... Read more ..read more

Hey everyone, I recently received a couple month old smooth knob tail gecko. Originally he was pretty active at night and would eat at least 5 or so crickets/mealworms per feed but lately he's rarely been coming out of his burrow and its a struggle to get him to eat more than 1 or 2 crickets at a time, wondering if it is just due to the colder temps starting to pick up? I called the person I bought it off and I am now a bit confused as the information I received was different from... Read more ..read more

Hi, I have long liked snakes and now that my 15yo daughter is interested too, I am considering actually getting one. Currently considering a Stimsons but we will see - I am the type to research obsessively and think about things a lot! We are in Melbourne and have only had cats and dogs before; snakes are definitely a change ..read more
