My Ball Python likes watching movies with me. Seems to prefer action films. I think it is the movement.

2020-10-30 17:07:30 +0000 UTCHello there. My tortoise just went into brumation this past week, and I was wondering what sort of physiological changes he goes through during this time.

2020-10-30 05:58:39 +0000 UTCI just got my first Lakeridge is a female pastel Mojave ball python about 5 months old. Her previous owner has fed her nothing but live feeders and I have tried multiple times to get her to take a Frozen thawed and it is the time for her to be eating according to her previous owners feeding schedule. I had to resort to finding her live hoppers last feeding so what suggestions do you have to transition a five-month-old snake from live to Frozen thawed?

2020-10-30 05:58:14 +0000 UTCHurricane Zeta hit our area as a category1 and has knocked out our power, I don't know when we will get it back,(it was out about a week when Katrina hit us) how long can my reptiles go without their UVB and hot spots? The room is staying around 75-80 daytime and no lower then 68-70 at night.

2020-10-29 22:05:12 +0000 UTCAs a pet rescuer and Director of an all volunteer shelter, I used to see black cats adopted at Halloween. The purpose was to use them to scare people and much worse. That isn’t seen now as black cats are held onto during the month of October. Are any reptiles subjected to the same mean spirited occurrences at Halloween?

2020-10-29 18:41:50 +0000 UTCHello Clint, I have a question about the conservation of species in captivity within the herpetoculture hobby. I've been reading about the "Invisible Ark" idea/argument is put forth by a lot of keepers as an example of the hobby's engagement with conservation. At the same time, for people that research how zoo's go about conservation breeding programs it seems like parts of the herp hobby don't seem to facilitate this idea. The more commercially focused breeding sectors have generated so many captive generations with a lot of inbreeding and line-breeding that the emergence of morphological/neurological issues emerge. Its even arguable that some of the more brightly coloured purely aesthetic morphs are an issue. Producing animals that would not survive in the wild and cannot serve towards an "invisible ark" model. What are your thoughts on the matter? Do you feel like the hobby is large enough to engage in interesting morph based projects and also have wildtype breeding lines with lots of out-breeding in them. P.s Extra question for Leisha. If Clint'f forfeit from the bug holding a few weeks ago is in relation to cooking, would you prefer he helped with the savoury or sweet course (or both)?

2020-10-29 15:09:10 +0000 UTCHey guys! Happy Halloween and hope you're keeping well! My question is this, with the popularity of ball pythons in the hobby do you think their feeding issues are exaggerated or is it simply that all the pros outweigh that con for most keepers? Keep up the good work and never doubt the joy you bring to so many people!
