What does everyone have to offer?

Hey all,

I would like to welcome everyone to the forum! It will be slow going at first but, I'm sure that everyone will enjoy posting and networking on here.

As a first post I am asking anyone who want to posts their favorite reptile or amphibian pet. I always find it interesting to see what everyone has as their favorite pets.

Mine is my Calico Black Ratsnake. I was the second person to have one of these and it is one of my prised animals.



This line of snakes acctually originated right here in kentucky! This has been a project of a friend of mine for a long time and ever since I fisrt liad eyes on one, I knew it was a snake that I wanted.

I hope you guys enjoy and I can't wait to see what everyone else has to offer!

Hello Everyone!

I'm Sarah. I frequent Pets Galore often, spreading Red Bull cheer and pestering Peter and Tim in between admiring all the snakes and animals and painting the walls. The desert scene? Yah, thats me. Theres more to come, don't worry.

Besides painting the place up, what else do I have to offer? Well, I have a collection of 30 snakes, most of which are ball pythons. Some of the prized subjects of my collection include...

Pastel female, 'Sanaa,' produced by Chris Gibson. She's just over 700 grams, by far the best eating snake I have. She only gets one small/med rat every week to 10 days or so. She's a monster...




And then we have 'Godiva,' my mojo female...


Thats all I'll share for now.

these are pictures of some of my ball pythons and my red eyed lemon black rat

hey all,
my name is Caroline, also a pets galore regular. this is Levon my ball python, named for Levon Helm of The Band. he's about twice this size now and gettin' fatter by the day.

I also feed my roomate's leopard gecko, Renfield, named for the bug eating Dracula character played by Tom Waits in the movie. pictures to come, he has beautiful coloring.
i am a full time tattoo artist just getting back to work and play from a broken leg suffered in a rollerderby bout (hence the user name). i spend my free time with music, drawing, painting, and silkscreening.
I'm happy about this forum. Levon is my first long term snake and i have many questions. for instance, bedding preferences and temperature. i use aspen shavings over a tank liner. i've heard pros and cons, but have yet to be swayed enough to change. the weather lately has his general temperature around 80 with a light and under-tank heater. he's eating regularly so i assume he's doing fine. advice?

My name is Wes.

I have many oreptiles including 19 snakes, 3 leopard geckos, and 2 Red ear sliders. I am at Pets galore usually about once a week. I like alln the guys that work there so i usually stay for the whole day. I actually work at another pet shop (not gonna tell which one), and if you told me i would hang out at a pet shop on my off day i would have called you crazy, but now i look foward to going up to galore a bsing with everybody.

I also really enjoy working with various hybrid colubrids but if i had to pick one snake species I enjoy more than the others i am a huge fan of Brooksi kings, here are a few pics from my collection

I currently have a pair of jungle carpet pythons, a female jaguar carpet sibling, 1 normal male ball python, 1 banded male ball, 2 normal female balls, a pair of het albino balls, a male western hognose, a female Hogg Island boa, a snadfire cross bearded dragon, a female hypo tang leopard gecko, a female het for patternless leo, a female giant hypo tang leo, and a male normal leo that is 13 years old!! I also have 4 cats, a 7 year old male Irish Setter, a 3 year old female Irish Setter, and a 2 year old male pit bull. Oh yeah, and 1 very goofy military macaw! I think thats it for now, but there's always room for more!! C-Flo

hey Caroline,

I'm sorry that I didn't catch your post previously but I do not like aspen. I prefer mulch over any of the more dusty beddings. Repti-bark and things of that nature hold humidity better for shedding and comfort. Aspen kicks up too much dust that could possibly cause respiritory infections. Also there is a smaller chance for ingestion with the larger barks.

We will save the breeding advice for a later date but as the little guy gets bigger let us know and keep us updated with pictures.

Thanks
Peter VE
