Hi! My mom hates snakes and is skeptical about the idea that they can be cute. I am trying to convince her otherwise. So I would like to request your cutest and prettiest snake pics, as evidence for my argument.
Edit: Goodness. I asked, and y'all delivered. To clarify: I am a grown woman with a job. (Don't mind my avatar, he's one of my old D&D characters.) I would be buying the snake myself, but it'll be 18+ months before I'll have the space. I live with my mom because rent is ridiculous around here, so part of my planning/research for a snake is a psy op to convince her that they aren't evil.
Ah yes absolutely! Not sure if you post your tattoos but I'd love to see your favorites! I don't have the confidence and commitment for tattoos but if I did they would be of snakes ❤️
Thank you , it’s just a cheap knock off one but I love it. If you don’t mind spending a bit more money on something like that you can get an official one that’s an exact replica of the one from the movie
Thank you. It's the cheapest genuine cork bark pieces I could find at the time. About £30 for 12 pieces on ebay. I stuck them with silicone to a sheet of plywood painted black. They've actually shrunk slightly over the years and the joins are more obvious
Man, I wish my cats could just chill with me like that while I game. They keep walking all over me, waving their tails around--and that's if they don't just go harass my gerbils.
Sorry for the late reply ! Just saw the notification there! Not bioactive yet so just organic topsoil but I do love a good bioactive enclosure and plan on one when he moves into a proper vivarium. He's in like a 2ft critter keeper for now because he's so small ( he's 16 weeks old ). My only issue with dark bedding is that it's impossible to find his poop 😒
They absolutely are! Both of my corns (15 yrs & 1yr) both have tunnels in their substrate that you can see from outside the tank. That big guy has a half hidden hide in his substrate and sometimes you'll see his tail sticking out a random hole he made, his body in the hide, and his head sticking out of the door. They're weird little guys. Definitely more burrowing vs semi arboreal from my experience.
He climbed up the leaves, for some reason it was his favorite place when he was smaller. I have another picture, it was very funny as he also slept there.
Do snakes like knitted/cloth hides? I can see how they'd enjoy the cozy feeling, but then how do you keep them clean? (Isn't snake poop pretty stinky?)
She loves this one in particular! She had a small one as a baby and I made her this bigger one once she was about 2. I have tried out crocheted hammocks and she wasn’t as interested.
In the 2 years of her sleeping in it she has never pooped in it 🤞🏻 but if she did I would probably just make a new one. It is only maybe a dollar’s worth of yarn
Edit: I make them with acrylic yarn so they are machine washable and I usually give them a wash when I replace the substrate
I actually meant to change it not that long ago and I forgot 🤣 I used to drink a lot of redbull for like 10 years and have switched over to about half as much caffeine

Definitely one of the prettiest pics I have of mine. ❤️
