Some NON-furry scaley beasties (Caution to the scardey cats)

[MiniLopHop]

Does anyone know if you can get an egg eating snake as a pet? I would love to have a snake but I just can't handle the feeding part. If I could feed them eggs or crickets or something like that it wouldn't be so hard.

Not good for a vegan to like reptiles. At least my turtles will eat worms and crickets so that's not so bad.

You can get egg eating snakes as pets, but their 100% not for beginners. Difficult snakes to keep, hard to get them feeding, theres always issues.
If you cant handle feeding a snake, dont get one, the ones that dont eat rats/mice will always be problems. And half the point of them eating eggs is the fact that theres usually something developing in there, so grocery store chicken eggs wont really work, can be used but thats not enough for them, plus their usually way to big to start with.

Besides its really not that bad, their food comes frozen, you just thaw it out in the sink, try not to look, dry it off and stick it infront of the snake. Besides once they get past the baby stage you only feed them every 2 weeks, then every 3 weeks, or if youre like me you forget to feed them and they get food once a month

Watermelons, thanks for the insider info. I think snakes aren't the right pet for me then. I love to look at them though. I went to a reptile expo which is what got me thinking. They had everything there! I loved all the colors and how many different kinds there were. The venemous are beautiful but I would never risk having them in my house. I think I would also worry about the pythons getting large and escaping.

I guess it is the same with any preditor species though, you have to take good care of them so they are not a threat by their instincts taking over. Luckily Leo has never shown any indication of biting and Kate only bites when I trim her nails, but it's more humor than fear when a box turtle bites.

Jax is um plump. Thank god when she got sick that turned out to be good because she had plenty of weight to sustain her till she was better.

You little one is awesome!

Rough or smooth green snakes, eat crickets. you can find them at shows now and then. They're a bit more flighty I think.

 

[GorbyJobRabbits]

[NZminilops]

I assume we're allowed to post a herp related site? I'm on herpfamily.com and it's just a small herp site similar to this with lots fewer members. Hope some of you join!

I can 100% guarantee you none of the crittes posted here are even remotley slimy. A bunnys nose is more slimy then a reptiles skin Thats my favourite thing about when i get somebody to hold a snake for the very first time, their reaction is almost always "OMG that feels so cool" or "Whoah its not slimy!"

The geckos are a little rougher, some almost like treated leather but the snakes and skink, would all be similar to touching uhmm... gosh its hard to even describe, but their smooth like plastic you can feel its not perfect due to their scales but they lay so flat.:rollseyes

I love reptiles. Bunnies are cute and fluffy but reptiles are just fascinating to me.

I posted this on my blog, but this is my roommates Panther Chameleon Quasi.

He's just over a year old now.

His colours have brightened up a lot since this picture.

Harper Emery a recent rescue. Poor guy is recovering.

My LAST addition for a LONG time...

Kendal Avery my african fat tailed gecko.

Ooooh I had a Kenyan Sand Boa at one point, but kind of got weirded out about feeding the mice. I never did manage to get her to eat frozen =/

Now I just have leopard geckos Bugs I can do. I have pictures of them else where, in my blog.

 

[MagPie]

Tho there was something nice about having a snake wrapped around around my hand.

 

[Watermelons]

I haven't uploaded the snake pictures I said I would upload... go figure. One day haha.

My most recent addition was given to me... a gimped crested gecko, I couldnt say no.
between him being malnourished while growing and his parents not being fed properly while they were breeding, this little guys got some good issues. He walks REALLY odd... almmost folds his back feet under him with each step, his forearms are odd, poor muscle growth and those who know something about geckos will easily be able to see how odd his arms are. His toes dont shed, he came to me with lots of old shed stuck on his toes that he cant get off, so he got a good bath and we peeled it off. Theres something Neuro going on too, similar to my gimpy neuro cat, when he tries to get away from me he kind of bring his head back sideways like hes going to do a summersault. He cant climb. And this is the only gecko I've met that will let me put him on his back in the palm of my hand with no struggle and stay there (we were doing this today so sorry no pics!) 7 months old.

You all have such BEAUTIFUL babies! I wish I was able to care for so many! We have our lovely Jubin dwarf hotot and one other pretty lady, she is our green iguana.

This is our Keela

You can't see his handsome face, but this is Asher, he belongs to a friend of mine. We thought my daughter's reaction to meeting him was rather cute!
