I just noticed this crust around my snake’s cloaca. Is this an emergency?
i’ve never owned snakes and probably won’t be able to for awhile, so i could totally be wrong, but i’ve always thought it looked sad when a snake has to constantly be bending in some way. is that just normal though?
I purchased my ATB at around 3 months old back in September of 2024. She’s been doing amazing since then, has shed twice, eaten pinkies every week, and has been really good with the occasional handling. However, the past two weeks she’s been acting completely off. She’s been on the ground a lot, and is seeming somewhat “neuro”. She’ll be on her back (pictured), completely disoriented, her movement is off, she’ll strike food but then almost immediately let go and retract - if she does bite the food as she often misses now. She also is releasing urates almost anytime I touch her or pick her up. She’s missed two meals now. My temps and humidity are are all standard. I don’t know what’s wrong! I’m going to try and go to a vet, but reptile vets are like $400 minimum around here and genuinely not the greatest from my experience 🙃
I’m about to get this ball python, he’s absolutely adorable, about two years old and I’ve been told very sweet. Any name suggestions? I’m not a very cutesy person (m18) and want something unique, any ideas that are sfw are welcome 🫶🏻
I’m getting a snake soon(at a reptile expo in March, I’ve already got tickets) and I was wondering if any of you have pet rats as well? I’ve always been a rodent lover and while I don’t think I’ll have any issue feeding rats or mice to snakes, I’m also a little worried that I will end up struggling with feeding them. I was planning on getting a garter or corn snake and I’ve heard that you don’t have to only feed them rodents but obviously I will do more research when I decide which I’ll get.
I’m just wondering if any of y’all have rats or mice as pets separate from feeders and can tell me how you feel about it. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m just an every animal lover and wanna hear from other people who share my love for even the tiny guys.
My bredli is 220 grams at 10 months old, I was wondering if she is under/over expected size or weight. Thanks.
im not sure what this is! im very concerned. i have a red tail boa constrictor and she seems very happy and healthy but i came home to this in one of her water dishes! is it poop or vomit? and what should i do. her humidity and temperature stay around 90 and she eats very healthily.
Hello all! I have a corn who is rapidly outgrowing his current enclosure, and I want to get him a bigger one. I’m hoping to get him his forever tank (his current one was a tank I got from a friend for free) and I do not know what brand(s) are going to work best for him. I’m hoping to someday make it bio active (he’s currently grounded by his vet from substrate since he has a habit of getting it stuck up his cloaca, regardless of the size. It’s impressive.) He’s my first snake as a full adult, so I’m pretty out of my depth. If anyone knows what can go from idiot proof to bio active for an adult corn, I would be super grateful for any recommendations!
Hi all, I'm doing a class project about making an app for community blogging and finding care nearby for reptiles and other exotic pets. Hopefully this works since last time it required a Gmail to sign in (emails will not be collected btw, its just for you to get a copy of your responses).
Thank you all so much in advanced!!

It turned out that the spots on him were just a stuck shed and they went away. Also his first shed with me!
Found this guy in a SE Louisiana garden and couldn't ID him. He's a little sluggish but it's about 60f right now so I'm guessing that's it
she always had a little cut on her head but never looked bad now it seems to get worse is this something i should go to the vet for?
