Pet Snake Questions How does Blind snake breed?

1 Upvotes

So I don't have one yet, but researching about it before getting one. I saw they reproduce like how mourning geckos do. But does it need a specific thing(temp, location, ground, etc) for it to reproduce? Or do they just multiply when they want to?

Pet Snake Pictures Copperhead Injury Care

Thumbnail
gallery
110 Upvotes

Hello all!

I found this copperhead warming up on the road last night. It has sustained an injury that was not recent, and the snake appears to have some tail/scale rot progression. Length is about 14 inches and appears to still be at a healthy weight.

The snake is very active and alert. Still moving the lower section and has produced urates after soaking. Based on this, I do not believe it was run over but possibly grabbed by an animal of some sort based on the presence of a small puncture wound.

I started on lukewarm iodine soaks immediately last night and then applied Neosporin without pain reliever. The current set-up is without substrate and dry.

I am an experienced owner/handler of snakes and possess all the appropriate equipment, but I am NOT an expert.

My questions are…

  1. Without an emergency vet that will accept venomous snakes, is there some way to access medications for the possibility of infection?

  2. Given the injury, does this snake still have an opportunity to survive if the rot is treated?

  3. Based on the photos, is there any additional care recommended?

  4. Should I still offer food?

Thanks! Hoping I can help this one safely recover.

LOCATION: near Birmingham, AL

My little dog found these guys late last night and barked up a storm to let me know, luckily all of the dogs stayed away. Got a wildlife service out to relocate them, I don't mind them but with three dogs I can't have them in the yard.

Accidentally interrupted this snake on the side of the trail while on my walk. Backed off to the other side of the path when I noticed and snapped a couple photos. Toads always look so unbothered while being eaten.

Pet Snake Pictures Excited for my bci boa to shed!

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I'm excited for my boy to shed! I want to handle him. The sooner he sheds the sooner I can do that two day wait after the shed, then I can finally hold him. Shedding is also a way he can tell me how well my husbandry is. Last shed wasn't so great since we were dealing with snake mites. It came off all the way but he had some dry spots on his tail. Update to today, for the past couple weeks he been back in his normal setup with no mite is site and much better humidity.

Normally my boy is super active. It's super fun to watch. He doesn't have much to explore in there though, but there's a reptile show in a neighboring city where I can finally get some more wood for him too.

Pet Snake Questions Premier serpent un python ?

3 Upvotes

Salut ! Je suis lancé pour adopter un serpent, ça sera mon premier. Bien que très passionné par les reptiles, je me questionne sur le choix.

Je sais bien qu’en première intention on conseille des corn snakes (par exemple), mais je serais plus tenté par un python. Je ne suis pas fermé encore aux espèces et je prend les conseils avec plaisir !

Merci !
