Kenyans are awesome, but can be picky eaters like balls. We've got one and she's been a joy thus far. All in all, I'd say weigh out the good and the bad on a Kenyan and if it falls in the favor of good...go get one! God Bless, Aaron

That's awesome! Congratulations on the eggs. Mothers usually do a pretty good job taking care of them, the only reason people really incubate is to increase hatch rates and to get the mom on a feed schedule to breed the following season. God Bless, Aaron

Hey All, Long story short, we need to cut back our collection pretty severely to be able to keep on keeping herps and doing the things that we love. We will be selling off a large chunk of the animals at really low prices to get them moved out. It hurts, but it's something we've needed to do...

That's one hot little Carpet. Wow, great pick up! God Bless, Aaron

You have a few options here. 1. Be PATIENT....you just need to wait until the next morning and the risk is pretty well gone. 2. Get one of your snakes on a different feed schedule than the others. 3. Handle before feeding, if the snakes will still feed after handling. The easiest option is...

I have to doubt that an RI of any severity could damage the Jacobsons organ or the tongue. It's probably more likely that it is a humidity or heat issue. What are your temps and humidity at? If this continues I would think about getting him another check up as the infection may have taken hold...

Anything over 30 feet has never been confirmed. A few places have open cash prized for any snake over 30 feet...If I remember right National Geographic was offering 1 million for a live 30 footer. God Bless, Aaron

That's the size of fluffy, Bob Clark's former burm... You can probably sense my hesitation to believe. Again, not trying to be a jerk but that kind of snake would put you in the ranks of only a handful of keepers in the world. Got any pics? What kind of enclosure did you use? Feedings? God...

I'd wait for a shed. It looks like a case of damaged scales to me. God Bless, Aaron

Wow..retics get 30ft +? Dwarfs are half Island variants, supers are pure...but 10 feet is still not uncommon. A 30 ft retic simply does not exist...and males very commonly get larger than 15 ft. A ten foot blood python is also VERY unlikely...but I think the idea you're going for is solid...

I don't remember pulsing, but it was a long time ago. And thanks. The worst bite I ever got was...from the same burm, no joke. It was the day after I gave a college presentation on snakes and explained that she was "just a little sweetheart". I put her back into her cage and reached over her...

My first bite was from a western fox snake or something of the like. I don't really count that one. My first real bite was from a burm. Now that was interesting...didn't hurt much but their teeth are designed to go straight to the bone so it just bled and bled and bled. It was awesome. God...

Think Retic, just "dwarf". By dwarf I mean most of them only get to around 15 feet. Super dwarf tics max around 10. Still big, just not BIG BIG BIG...lol. Care is the same as other tics, just their temperament is usually a little different. Jampeas tend to be more docile, most Selayers I've...

Low humidity is usually what causes an RI in the first place with tropicals, the opposite with low humidity species...that coupled with improper temps. We always increase the temps a bit, get the humidity to normal levels and give injections. Haven't had one in a while, but that's whats been...

Humidity needs to be 60%, if it's not that could be a problem. Also, why not injections? They are far more effective than oral meds, and easy to give... God Bless, Aaron
