Tonight in class someone brought in a snake.........Bunny and I took several pic with her, it was the strange sensation when she slithered across your skin.............ck out her tongue.
The staff member who's holding the python in the previous photo. As we approach Halloween, many zoos are taking the opportunity to highlight tarantulas, bats, snakes, and other creatures that people might regard as creepy. I hope they're successful in reducing fear, even if it's just a little.

Since Mokiki's first shed with me, he has had some skin left on his head, and a little down the top of his neck (which can barely be seen in the photo). Being a first time snake owner, I was unsure of what to look for to determine whether he still had eye caps over his little eyes. Both eyes were shiny and smooth, but one was a different color than the other; one eye more silver-looking. I assumed that this meant he must have caps still covering his eyes. I started to get worried as I didn't want him to be uncomfortable, and I didn't want to hurt him while trying to remove the caps myself for the first time. So I went to the wonderful world of snake videos on YouTube and I built up enough confidence to try some of the things I saw other snake owners doing to help their snakes shed and to safely remove their eye caps.
I went with a simple method that I thought would be the easiest for me. I soaked a towel with warm water, left the towel dripping wet as I placed it flat on the bottom of a clear plastic container. I put Mokiki on top of the warm wet towel and then placed another warm wet towel on top of him, letting him sit like that for a little less than ten minutes. After letting him soak, I began to very gently rub his neck with my fingertip and the skin started rolling right off of his body. I then used the wet towel to *very* gently rub his tiny head and eyes. This allowed me to easily remove both eye caps as well as the rest of the unshed skin! I don't think I hurt him at all, and he seemed only a little annoyed with me touching his head.
I was worried about the situation, but the worries are gone and I now feel like a more confident snake owner ♥ I'm really enjoying caring for this little creature and everything has gone really well with him so far. Yay for happy snakes!
If all is still going well in about a year, I think I'd like to get another Ball Python morph. I've been looking at lots of photos and I really like the patterns of the Bumblebee and Spider morphs. Such beautiful animals!

I was trying to be a better snake mom, but I think I inadvertently gave the snakes scale rot, so I'm working on that right now. DON'T JUDGE ME. I AM TRYING.
I'm gonna make it right, Clem & Cocoa! I promise!
Dina's good looks and soft gentle disposition belie her immense striking power. Woe be unto prey that might cross her hungry path! Moments later, she's all cuddly and nice again.

this is from a couple of years ago, she's a bit bigger these days.
this ball python had a rough start in life, it was owned by a person who didn't inform themselves about its proper handling and care which resulted in the snake being severely burned (and scarred) along its back.
these days she is living the good life. :)
This is a Piebald morph. Morphs are the result of breeding efforts designed to emphasize certain characteristics in the animal and sustain them, essentially through cultivation and combination of dominant genes. Morph itself describes a distinguishable subpopulation within a larger group.

Received my Animal Plastics T-10 cage for my son's ball python the other day. Ordered on Nov 7th, received on Feb 14th, pretty much right on target with the estimated ship date when ordered.
I went with glass doors, locks, LED lighting, Herpstat 2 and I had Bob from Pro Products ship them a RHP (don't recall the size, went with one size up from what Bob recommended. It's massive!).
I keep my home in the low 70's and it's been locked into whatever temperature I set the Herpstat to without issue. Humidity is a bit high as I just put in two bags of fresh Forrest Floor but I've been opening the door to rearrange so that should help it dissipate.
Extremely impressed with this Animal Plastics cage, the build quality is fantastic as were the instructions and I was blown away by the packaging and how fast it got to me once it left their doors. Had it fully assembled in less than 45 minutes and gave the silicon four days to cure and for the fumes to air out.
I've loaded it up with 6 plastic commercial hides of various sizes, silk/plastic flora and some cork bark flats and tubes (which I'll keep an eye on for bacteria..) and a water dish on both the "hot" and "cool" side. Monitoring temps and humidity with a pair of Accurites. If I were a snake kept in captivity, I'd want to live here.
While the Herpstat 2 worked great when I needed both a CHE and a heat mat in the glass tank I was previously using, I could have went with the Herpstat 1 for this one. It has the option to control the light cycle for you, I just wish it had an instant on/off button as well. So rather than use that, I've just got the LED plugged into a light switch. The light is only turned on when viewing, feeding or cleaning and it's nice and bright - but unfortunately not dimmable. Once we rearrange the room, I'll try to get the leopard gecko's tank closer so I can use the other output to control the CHE heating that.
To sum it all up, very satisfied with my purchase - Ali from Animal Plastics was an absolute pleasure to work with, keeping me updated with the latest status and Bob at Pro Products was incredibly helpful
. . they had fun. .. .
