Also first time I held her which was stressfull for both of us.

After putting het back she went full spiderman mode😂

While trying to get him detangled some of his white stuff (yk what I mean) got on my hand

I feel violated...🫠

Looking around for a new enclosure for my boy and this seems to be a nice size for an affordable price. I’ve heard about other brands such as Dubia and Zen but they look fairly similar. It states that the metal mesh rooftop for a heat lamp is sold separately, but I haven’t been able to find it. Also have concerns about humidity with these terrariums. If anyone has anything better to suggest, feel free to drop the enclosures you have experience with.

Edit: Pretty sure they meant that the HEAT LAMP is sold separately, not the mesh top. I read it wrong lol.

🥲proud snake dad moment

He/she is one year old, it was born 2025 in Easter. She/he is about 63 cm long.

I gave it a hopper mouse I think it’s called two days ago and it has shedded not long ago too for the first time here. I’ve had this noodle for almost a month now!

And I feed it one day every week.

I’m tryna bond with it and this is my third time holding it and the first time it bit me but it’s so much calmer now.

Should I give it a two mice a week or level the size up? I’m gonna weight it soon too when I have the time.

hey y’all so last week i took my girl to the vet as she was showing some signs of stress/discomfort that i couldn’t identify a cause for. her vet found that she was beginning to form infertile eggs and while we don’t know for sure that she won’t reabsorb them he suggested that i make a lay box for her in the coming weeks.

the trouble has been that i’m a bit overwhelmed by trying to figure out which lay box setup is best and there’s many different pictures and posts online about it. i’ve never had to deal with infertile eggs from a snake before and the last time she did this was before i adopted her, so i’d like to ask what y’all do for yours, whether it’s for infertile eggs or not.

snake tax included.

I took my snake out of her cage to feed her and I noticed her tail looked like it was dry and shedding, I was handling her as her food was warming and 3/4” piece of her tail just broke off!!! What could’ve happened and what do I do???? She seems to be acting normal and ate just fine.

New to Reddit and this sub, so please be kind if I'm not following sub rules.

I took my girl Siri out to play with her as I defrosted her dinner, and noticed this odd bump/pouch on her throat(pic 1). This isn't the first time this has happened to her (something like this happened years ago that I took her to the vet for but the symptoms had already disappeared by the time we arrived for her check-up), but this is the first time it's caused her to yawn/stretch her jaws so much(pic 2). The inside of her mouth looked swollen like a balloon, especially the lower part of her jaw. I'm really worried she might have an infection, but she had something like this before and it went away on its own so I don't know if I am overreacting or showing the right amount of concern or???

She managed to eat her mouse after a bit of coaxing, and her face returned to normal (pic 3) but I'm still just a bit freaked out and don't know what to do :(

I have high humidity on my "cool side". It's 80 percent, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to lower it! And I know that is WAY too high to have consistently! I don't want her getting sick. Any help is appreciated! For some context she is on coco fiber substrate and has a small water bowl on that side for her to soak in otherwise it's leaf litter and climbing vines. Pic of the lady for tax

Is this a respiratory infection?

This is balfire I rescued him around a 1.5 years ago so I am unsure of his age but he's around 7-8 I took him out for only 10 minutes yesterday and today he's making a sort of hissing noise and keeps opening his mouth I'm worried and wanted advice of what to do pls if anyone can give me answers it would be much appreciated 💛🧡

Hey everyone,

I’ve been keeping snakes for a while and one thing I keep struggling with is tracking everything properly. Feeding, weight, shedding, medication… it gets messy fast.

I’ve also seen similar issues come up here quite often, so I started thinking about building something simple for it.

The idea is basically an app where you can log feeding, track weight and length, record sheds and medication, and see everything clearly instead of scattered notes.

Before going further, I wanted to ask:

What do you feel is missing when it comes to tracking your snake’s care?
Anything you’d definitely want in a tool like this?

I have a 7 month old corn snake, (only had him a month) he was born September 2025, he weighs 24.2 g, I feed him a pinky every Sunday (he was fed this way before I got him and I kept this schedule), should I feed him every 5, or give him two pinkies ? Width wise pinkies still seem like the best option

Had him since he was a baby.

How’s he looking guys

Added snake #2 to my little family, my BP is antisocial and this little bean is anything but!
