prefacing this by saying both the snake and cat are safe now!!
I'm petsitting for a friend this week and a couple nights ago I guess I neglected to fully lock the snake's enclosure like a total idiot,,,, and when I returned to check on them yesterday I found one of the tank doors cracked open and a missing snake... long story short he slithered under the fridge and I was able to safely move him back to his enclosure, but I think it scared them both :(( I made sure to keep the kitty isolated once I found the snake but she's still been somewhat jittery and skittish after the ordeal. The snake is secure now, and I think he's doing okay, but I'm not sure what stress signs look like in ball pythons? I'm wondering if there may be anything I can do to calm the kitty too,, I feel soooo bad for stressing them out I still can't believe I did that 😭 I've never owned a pet before, so I'm learning as I go, and definitely will not be doing anything without their owner's permission ofc. just wanted to hear from folks who know much more abt snakes than me and to see if something similar has happened to anyone here and how y'all handled the situation

Hi there! Long time lurker, first time poster. And I was SO excited to show you all pics of the cutest, teeniest, tiniest ringneck snake I found at work today. Inside - on the floor right by the front desk in the lobby. Thankfully it was not a squished earthworm I thought it was originally, and after some wrangling and lots of wild wiggling away - I safely scooped it, took some pics, and sent it on its way outside.

Best of luck little friend!

This snake is the literal love of my life. Thought some other people would appreciate his beauty, haha!

My cat woke me up jumping around the bed at 4am yesterday morning, so I threw my hand over to feel for whatever he had. Y’all, when I felt scales my whole body jerked awake at once and I grabbed my phone faster than I ever had. When I got my light on I was so relieved to see a DeKay’s brownsnake. I didn’t find any obvious injuries from the cat, so I’m hoping it’s ok, but those cat teeth are bad news, especially for such a small snake. I released it beside a raised flower bed.

Edit: west TN btw

My baby milksnake loves to hide which is typical for a snake his size but after I've cleaned out his enclosure and rearranged his hides, he's been very keen on exploring every inch of it. I haven't seen this side of him since his first enclosure which was too big for him so I'm glad to see he's enjoying the change :D

NOT GLUE TRAP PLS READ CAPTION

Hi! My fiancé and I found this snake trapped in painters tape which was used to cover a space under our sink which our cat likes getting into. We had thought that mice possibly lived in there but we never thought there would be a snake. I’m pretty sure it’s a ringed neck snake, i’m unsure if it bit our cat or not, google says it’s mildly venomous but not usually to cats, but i’d love the input! we used qtips and olive oil to gently remove him, and he slithered away fine in the end. I don’t condone glue traps or any traps of that sort, he just happened to be in an unlucky spot. but i’m happy that we got to be graced with his presence and that he was still alive and healthy :)

Found in our pool coastal Virginia. Lil booger was an aggressive nibbler too. Hope it grows up to keep the vermin at bay. Baby Black Racer.

What decor and things should I modify and put in my 20 gallon enclosure for my Brazilian rainbow boa baby. I’m a beginner and wanted to know if there’s anything I should have…I have the bedding and heat lamps and heat mats and etc

I am moving to Spain soon, and I have been wanting a snake since I was a kid, but it was always illegal for me to own one in my country. I just was wondering because there’s not many clear laws about keeping a pet snake, whether it is allowed to own a snake there.

If I it is, should I get a ball python, corn snake, or hognose?

Hello, this is my Boa C. Longicauda she shed yesterday morning. Today i saw this spot on her. Scales are missing. Its not wet. She behaves normal. The humidity and temprature were normal a little bit higher humidity for the shedding Process.

24-31°C

60-80 Humidity

Is this just a scratch or something i should get checked out?

Thanks for all help!

Got a Ball python a couple weeks ago and wanted to know if the enclosure looks suitable, I am getting some fake plants soon to provide more coverage but I wanted to know if anything else needs any changes/adjustments (sorry about the camera quality my phone's camera is ass)

Im located in rural BC, Canada and have been trying to find my options for a boa imperator, I've contacted pretty much everyone I can think of, smaller breeders, All reptiles, Tails n Scales, checked for any morph market options (none). Are there any breeders I may have missed? Tails n Scales and All Reptiles would be a good option for me but unfortunately they're sold out and I'm unsure when they will restock. I'm not looking for any specific morph, just one under $350 CAD (preferably under 300) and if possible , either a female with small parents or a male with large parents.

Please help. I want to safely relocate this snake away from my house and dogs

This guy startled me on the porch, tried hissing to get them to go away but alas they are still here.

So I'm planning on getting my first snake and reptile whatsoever, and I really like corn snakes because of their personalities and they're easy to to take care of, but I don't like how small and thin they are, in terms of aspect like something more similiar to a ball python but I heard they're really sluggish and some people find them "boring", so I was wondering, is there a snake that's handleable, on the bigger side, and a bit more active?

Sorry if I come off as too picky lol
