Har? Who told you to soak in hot water? That is the wrong way, no wonder didn't eat lah. You make the frozen mouse unsuitable for it.

Never soak a frozen rat or mouse directly in hot water..... it heats it up but never defrosting properly.

You should follow like what nugget said, put in a zip lock bag. If don't have, then balut in plastic bag till no water can go in and let the bag sit in a bowl of normal tepid water. Check after an hour to see if fully defrost or not. Never go for short cut and never put frozen prey into direct water....

Corn snakes are like dustbins, they are never picky. Both mine eat frozen, dead and live prey.... don't even care what species of prey, as long prey to them they would eat.

Also, hanging by the tail for it when still alive is risky, you have to prekill the mouse. Not hang it live.... today it may be ok but some day, another mouse may be smarter and bite back to injure your snake.

Something wrong with the datacenter.... so now forum goes back to where it have saved loh..... it doesn't save every single hour... so that is why a lot of things hilang.

Hahaha... that shop is at the Summit.... his grading is ridiculous....

Grade A - a slightly brighter colour but is a normal ball
Grade B - a normal ball that is just a bit dark

Captive bred or wild Caught, as long colour is bright a bit, sure that guy put Grade A

No designer morph also.

Reanne told me he selling Dumpy Frog for Rm250..... Dumpy Frogs are about Rm100 to Rm150 only.... the cost price is like Rm80...

Wah, so fast quite hobby liao.....

Actually, keep snake... you either discuss with your family members first or really keep it a secret. Mine, 1 year secret.... now after they know I got a snake, they let me rare it as long I keep outside at my pet corner hahahaah.... but shhh.... there is still 1 more in my room that my parents do not know.

Anyway, you guys should see what is in Adpost..... A new ball python morph! Damn nice.... but the amount of money... whoa.

It depends.... some parents are understanding.... like mine, they know I love pets so ok lah.... I do go overboard but as long I do not mess up their space with exotics, keep it at a designated area... they are fine but I do get nagged alot LOL.

But if parents who are 100% strict and hate reptiles.... then that is a different story. If my parents were that strict and throw my pets out, I wouldn't dare bring a pet back home. My dad likes snakes but he won't say out. He prefers me to think that he hates them hahahah.... weird.

Some parents would be ok with it if you had discussed first. But if there is this strong urge to get a snake, get one and keep at your friend's place or neighbour or relative's house if you got no other choice.

I think now, to avoid your snake being throw out or beaten to death, you better move it out to a friend's place till things cool down.... or sell it away if that is what you are thinking of doing now.

I volunteer keep for you till you move out hehehehe....

Well, think about it first lah. For now, try and find someone to help you out that is near your place loh. Keep at your friend's place for the time being.... then think of a solution if you really wanna keep the snake. Coz ah.... not everytime you can come across such a nice normal ball python as yours.... if I were you, I'd keep it with my friend till things cool down and find a solution.

Hahaha.... already we say we can help you take care mah. Just PM back either one of us loh.

But you number1 thing must do is get it out of your house. Call your friend come and take it lah. Coz too risky since your dad is quite er... serious about having reptiles at home.

Wahh... I see my name mentioned hahahah.... I did say I don't mind taking care of it lah, not give me hahahah..... give me or not is not a problem. Feeders, abundant LOL.

Actually, to sell a reptile takes time.... some may go fast, some would take ages to sell. I also got experience with buy and sell.... if lucky, stock would move damn fast coz of the current demand.... if something is not the type of pet people are looking for and they can find a cheaper price.... for sure would be slow....

Hahaha.... I had to tell my parents my geckos cost RM50 for 2, then had to say my gliders were gifts, then had to say I adopted all the guinea pigs.... had to say the snake was bought for only RM100.... man.... if I had said how much all my pets cost me.... I think my parents would yell at me. LOL.... that's why my savings very little. I never ask for extra, alot also I kena work for it sob sob.

LOL.... you didn't read much on reptiles rite? Almost all reptiles carry some sort of bacteria on them. Actually, can say almost all animals lo. Salmonella.... gives adults and teens not much affected but if you are sensitive, can become quite sick. Salmonella is quite bad for children and seniors, some can get so sick.... can result in death, especially with toddlers and babies. Any bacteria is dangerous.

There can be a risk of E coli.... my beardie that died had this as well as parasites in the gut. Lots of tiny tiny worms. Snakes can carry this as well.

So we must always clean ourselves after handling reptiles or any other pets and make sure our pets are also clean and healthy. If possible, deworm our reptiles too.

You must see this, your parents are concern about your health as well as the family's health. They know about the bacteria and germs but you must educate them as well. Don't argue too much. It leads to nothing. I have gone through this lah.... why my parents let me keep so many pets???? Got a deal wan.... I must always keep everything clean. No pets at eating areas and never take up too much space. If I keep this up, no nagging, no arguments and no scoldings. Your parents may not be like mine but you must slowly convince them. You can always come with an agreement. Maybe keep it outside your home or in a specific area that your family could agree. My pet corner is my late dog's kennel, small but enough for me to house my pets in order.


Memang true.... if we move out, sometimes landlord may not like or room mate.... housemate... a lot of things wan. Then yah, like what you said, spouse heheheh.....

Better request for a feeding demo..... snakes that do not eat are a headache and a waste of money.... I also kena before, damn depressing and RM500 plus gone in just a few weeks....

That's why now when I purchase a snake, I double check the health.... it is heartbreaking and a waste of money....

There are not many reputable breeders, most are just sellers but some are reputable. It would be luck.... some sellers would not sell their new stock ASAP but keep for about 1 or 2 months to monitor the eating habits and health before reselling..... now this kind of seller lose money sometimes.... The other trader would be one that wanna let go ASAP, and they don't give warranty or provide you with some feeders to start..... now those you must be a bit careful, check the specimen properly and ask for a feeding demo....

Aiyah, some of us here are traders.... pet sellers... whatever people wanna label us.... as there are rules in this thread, we cannot advertise what we have for sale LOL..... good trader, bad trader, that all depends outside this thread, ok?

Only Breeder's Celect cat litter coz it is made of recycled newspaper and is in pelleted form. There is also Back2Nature, same as Breeder's Celect coz same company but a flatter shape since made for both small animals and reptiles.

You cannot use normal cat litter.

I use Breeder Celect for my snakes and geckos. The pelleted recycled paper cat litter. Not bad, quite clean but of course pricey lah. I like it coz can do spot cleaning. My star tortoise also uses it.

Wahhhh.... that's super expensive. Petaling Street only RM3 mah.....

That is breeder's Celect.... but then repacked. How much for how heavy? Not low quality lah hahahah.

All mice standard price RM2.50 to RM3 for juvis and adults.... pinkies are around RM1.50 to RM2.50..... all this depends on where you buy them. The petshop near my place sells adult mice for RM5.... another RM11 LOL..... luckily I don't need mice anymore coz I breed loads of feeder rats for my reptiles to eat heheheh.

Ah, I just noticed.... not been active here. Anyway, thanks abang brother.
