JyEn, I recommended that you breed your own.

errr... she got one small corn snake for now. i dont suggest that she breed "yet".
baby corn snake dont eat that much yet.

Why not? Just 1.1 or 1.2 will do and because of few numbers, there won't be much smell.

The benefits are :
1) no need hunting high and low for pinkies
2) save petrol and time
3) very convenient
4) good stress reliever ,just by watching them

I raise my case, JonYeap.

i need lizardsss...a.rr.....need to feed my pts......getting headace trying to catch lizards

Try PM mako, he used to supply lizards.

i think mako wanna din do tis kind of business oledi..he like stopping..but no harm to try n ask him..pts is nice but troublesome cos need to find lizard..u can try to change it to eat pinkies..if u have time n patient..

i cant even get pinkies nowadys....frogs also can get..arrr.g.g.gghhg..
losing hair..heheh..but my ballie..is happy..n fatty

mako doesnt sell anymore.. he used to be my source as well.
i can give you his hp if you dun hav, but u pm me to let me know u wan la..

now u understand my hardship in getting lizards last time haha...
try getting him switched to fuzzy or mice la..
get a lizard, break his tail or just cut him in half and spill all the blood and guts onto the fuzzy or mice,

try to persuade your paradise to eat. if he does, then itll be beautiful haha....

yes will try that...must go source 4 pinkeys

yup..just try to change..is better to feed pinkies than lizard..cos lizard normally r those wc..not a clean source..initially will be abit hard n need alot of work to change it..but when it successfully to take pinkies..everything will be fine..

LOL ... lessily ...

nice to hear from u again ~! how was things going ?
all the best to your new project ~! Hope it will blossom ASAP ~!

first of all .. yes I am quitting this hobby...
but erm ...is my reason really ridiculous ?
I'd stated my reason clearly in the previous tikusniaga thread...WHY I quit ... (If u had read bout it)
u know...it's roughly the same reason why u move on to those non-cites animals..
I just have no more gases left to move on...
I don't see it ridiculous as you described it, and I am not kidding bro,I really quit
Most of ma collections had been sold to friends...its a pain in the aZZ ..especially when u bought them and raised them with love...
not wanna re-sell them or trade them away ASAP for quick bucks...
damn...it still hurts...

let me explain on the feeder pricing complain of ours to you..may I ?

indeed that prices about feeders are expensive when u owned more than 1 snakes ...
we are talking about 10 or 15 or more hungry pythons here...on weekly basis...
Yes,(as u say)most of us failed to predict that ourselves will own more than 1 snake when we start this hobby.
failed to calculate the feeders costs ...all we think about is the snake...snake snake snake
tht's why some of us are feeling the pinch right now...
so most of us here would like to tell/layout this mistake of ours to any newbie happen to read this thread in the pet wonderland.
and hope they dont repeat the same mistake as we did some time ago...

and most importantly a lot here are students or they have other commitment in their life...
coaz we come from diffrent culture bavkground n states of living.
so we have to be considerate b4 quoting such a comment on this matter

I must salute this to all of the snake lover here ~!! pure keeper n breeder ~! for your willingness to hold on to this "freak" hobby

you see bro,it's normal in forums tht most snake keepers talk about how to cut cost nowadays especially during this crucial economic period.
everything is expensive ...and to keep this hobby and mantain it ..offcourse we need to discuss about the cost cutting method lar ...

no hard feeling bro....it just my view on this ...

cheers

well nug, all the best to u and hope ur snakes are in good hands.
we cant force someone to keep a pet if he cant do so anymore.
cant we?
hmmm... jyen, if u wanna breed, then try breeding ba. now i got 10 plus females and around 10 males in breeding. haha... few females look like pregnant. maybe in less than a month time, boom.... one shot 50 pinkies. =.=

Same case.....maybe the piny not healthy.

Maybe the sex ratio is not rite ? ( Too many M ? )
10 plus F with 10 M !!!

How you house them ? How many M to how many F per colony/container ??

fuish...always got commotion on the snake thread. dunno why...everyone keep snake until turn "ular" already...

JY .. u may wanna freeze your 8 male.. the ratio of 2.10 is more than enough.
they can surely do their duty well ~!
cannibalism on mice is more compare to rats...
some say they feel threaten tht's y they eat own child...
but my findings are...as long as u remove the "culprit" n let another caring mother adopt the pinkies...
the problem are solved ...

my way might b wrong here...

cheers

nug

i agree with u. now i dont freeze the males. i now feeding them to my snakes. muahaha... now i think around less than 5 males. =.=
i dunno wat sex did the 3 dead mice were, coz left skin only. bone also none. gross man...
well, i planning on moving to rats soon in 2-3 months time after i shift house. but 1st, must get rats. =.=
melaka its hard to find rats. easy to find fuzzy, pinkie, mice, but not rats. rats are very very little. and the price is rm14 per rat. =.=

haha i agree i agree..

hmmm anyone has any snakes pics to post? new snakes to show us? =.=

wondering any of us keeping large boids now..i means oledi 7 or 8 ft above..seems like every1 here r keeping small or juv snakes..wondering how they keep n how they feed..
