So my darwin python is almost 5 months old and around 50-60cm in length and up until now I have had him in a click clack container but just recently I have noticed he is trashing it, I mean like water everywhere and paper towel (which is on the floor of container) is all scrunched up. I am considering upgrading him to a small glass fronted enclosure its about 2ft with kitty's crumble on the bottom. I have a tile on a thermostated heat mat with some climbs and a water bowl.... I am looking for your suggestions as to what you think and whether you would upgrade now or at what age would you do it.... Any suggestions appreciated....

Quote:

For some Burmese pythons captured in the Everglades, the end of the line is a building in a warehouse district of Hallandale Beach.

All American Gator, which turns alligators into meat, belts, shoes and wallets, is the closest thing South Florida has to a python-processing plant. It was here that Josh Zarmati brought two pythons he caught in the Everglades.

Brian Wood, the company's president, was waiting. He has processed three snakes so far and anticipates more from the state-sanctioned python hunt that started last week and runs through April 17 in sections of the Everglades in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.

No-one else to blame except the idiots who released these animals! No-one further to blame than the legislators who initially allowed them to be legally sold and purchased in the first place! Good to see they've thrown a ban on such animals and are pro-actively appear to be doing something about it!

The methods with the dispatching of these animals seems quite barbaric IMO! The article reads even worse!

1 1/2 weeks ago i picked up a B&G jungle, and last night i installed a blue party light for a bit of observation at night. There is no clear spots on this globe for normal light to get out yet as soon as i turn it on my snake quickly became alert...? i thought they are not supposed to notice this light? Any ideas people??

I'm new at all of this so i'm tryin to pick up as much as possible!

Besides that, he is awesome. My family are loving their new pet. I built my own enclosure out of a cabinet - got the idea from one of the threads on here! made my own rock wall and all is workin well with good temps.

I have 2 Smooth Knob-Tailgeckos (Barney & Regina); they are 2 months old and about 1.5 inch in length.

They are housed in a glass tank 3.5ft by 1.5ft, 8inch high sides, with a heat mat at one end and a few hides.

I feed them medium crickets, 2-3 each on alternate nights.

Problem:
About 4-5 weeks ago when I was spraying them one bit the other on the tail.. this has happened a couple of times and they have both done it to one another but they let go straight away.

Last week Barney bit my finger when I was lifting the hides out of the tank and then last night when I was getting ready to feed them Regina bit Barney right on the head and actually held on for a bit and I admit I freaked out and started spraying them with water and she let go.

I was about to feed them so I separated them last night (just for feeding) as I was a little concerned about Barney coz when she bit him it was right on his eye. But they both ate as normal and he was fine last night and this morning.

My brother has a pair of the same geckos (parents of mine) and has never experienced this problem so I was wondering.. Has it ever happened to anyone else?

Do I need to increase their food?

Or separate them when feeding?

Or are they just plain evil :evil:

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all

See pic. We've had a few of these in our Sydney backyard (has sandstone). The cat is too effective at catching them (even though she's only allowed
outside occasonally when we're home) so I figure we should consider raising it to adulthood rather than release it for the cat to catch again. It doesn't seem injured other than the tail loss.

I've spent hours looking up species and the closest match seems to be
a cunningham skink.

Any suggestions? We've temporarily got him in a bucket with damp leaf
litter and some yummy looking slugs.

I recently got 2 Jungle Pythons, both around 3 months old (1 male, 1 female) - being kept separately.

Both have a habit of constantly sleeping day and night - occasionally coming out for a few minutes then heading back to their hide boxes.

They've both fed well 4 days ago.

I'm just wondering how long it usually takes before they pass their food?

And is it normal for them to be sleeping so much? (I'm a night-owl and haven't noticed them out much at night, although they venture out for a couple of minutes so long as the lights are out).

They both seem fairly calm although I haven't tried to handle them yet. I want to make sure they're settled properly first.

They're in small click-clacks, about a third on a thermostat controlled heat mat, with an average temp of 28-30oC.

Any advice greatly appreciated :)
