Bored old man!
Hi guy's... Newbie here! About 6 months ago I decided to cure my boredom by buying snakes Ya da ya da I now have a year and half old Purple albino retic, that's is only about 4 and half or 5 feet now and I am trying to keep him small.... He is way cool, mellow yellow to the max. His name is George!
Then there is my Jungle carpet python... He's my work in process snake... He's about 2 feet now, just barely year old now... He went missing for a month to the day a little while back; and he is very nippy but were working on that. I just got him eating again with the paper bag trick...
Lastly is my 7 year old, 5 foot 2' Taiwanese beauty snake... He is quite the handful until he calms down...
I don't seem to have any problems right now; I was just looking for a good snake forum... I am sure I will have questions down the road...So thanks in advance... Noel Pics to come!

Re: Bored old man!
Thanks toddnbecka... I'll have to get my wife to work on it tomorrow; although I am a little embarrassed... All 3 of my snakes are in glass tanks... I am new at this and the ultimate goal is appropriate cages but for now glass is going to have to work... They look healthy and happy... If you can really tell if their happy... Don't know... I'll see what I can put up tomorrow... Thanks again!

For your glass tanks, put some deco around the out side and this well help the snakes to chill out, it will give them the enclosed feeling.

I could do that but I don't know if it is necessary... Almost all the sides face a wall or a closet door or a book case... My tanks are nice and snug were they are... and all my snakes seem to regulate their own body heat. They are in our second bedroom were there is no active besides me tending to their every need. They really can't see each other the way I have it set up.
IF anything my JCP is a little out of his element! I think his tank might be too big... but then again I don't know how you can maintain 3 different temperatures; give him two hiding places, and a perch, and all of it in anything smaller then a 20 gal tank... but that's why I join this forum, to pick some brains... Thank you for this...

Re: Bored old man!
Well I am still working on the picture thing... I decided to go with a few snap shots over the video for now... I no soon got done taking the pictures and Fred my Taiwanese beauty took a big dump! His second BM in a week... No problems at this end... 
I went right into clean up mode... He bit me last time I tried to spot clean his cage, so I pull him out to clean. I should probably point out I have only had him for 7 days now... He is quite the handful... We are just getting to know each other... Put him in a holding tub until I got his cage cleaned up good. His piece of wood reeks of a cage that hadn't been cleaned in a while... Not to mention the strong musk smell, So I give it a Dawn soap bath... Then after cleaning the tub out real good a fresh water bath for Fred... I don't think he was getting the attention he needs... He will start to relax after a few minutes of holding him and he realizes I am not going to hurt him... fun fun fun...
