My daughter just turned 9, and has been asking for a snake and she was 7. I of course took it as a phase, but Iā€™m not even kidding when I say she spends ALL her free time researching and reading about snakes. Reptile show next weekend, and weā€™re ready for our new family member ā¤ļø (and Iā€™m excited to share in her passion.)

Regular garters I think. Iā€™m in Minnesota.

That one in the door gave me a big scare, thinking I was going to decapitate him (heā€™s fine, thatā€™s him in picture 4).

Any tips for humane relocation? Repellents that wonā€™t harm them? Theyā€™re adorable but itā€™s not safe for them hereā€¦

Pet Snake Questions When to feed?

Thumbnail

65 Upvotes

I got this beautiful guy, Cinder, today from a snake expo. He's a Honduran Milk Snake 4 years old. I am going on a trip Tuesday through Saturday, should I feed him before the trip or wait till after? Google says I should wait a week or two to feed him, but my friend who owns ball pythons recommends me to feed him before I leave. Also should I feed him in or out of the enclosure?

We saw this snake outside our door. When the tail was poked by my friend it curled up and shook its tail. Hard to tell but possibly a baby (if not maybe a 1.5-2ft?) Described by the poker as having diamond like pattern?

He was very spooked by us, and hid in the grass shortly after. I always love seeing the local snakes thrive here, love seeing these little guys.

Pet Snake or "morph" ID Need some second opinions on species

Hello all! This is noodle, and I took him off of a co-worker as he couldnā€™t keep him any longer. That was about a year ago and he originally said he was an albino gopher snake, I took one look and knew he most definitely wasnā€™t a gopher snake, but looked more like a corn snake. This brings me here, I have just been calling him an albino corn snake for the past year, but suddenly got the urge to ask some others for confirmation, I am like 98% sure but I just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks!
