Anyone coming to my house with a snake wrapped around their neck will get shot. Had the same thought. it's not like they show you any love or even like being handled. They are just there...then again so are fish . Not to mention my clownfish's bites are pretty much as surprising/painful (not to mention more frequent) than the snake bite I received. I would have guessed you for a reptile guy BTW. Maybe its the tattoos lol 2 Quote Link to comment

I told you, I have Indiana syndrome. Nothing really disgust me ...... except snakes. BTW your analogy between fish and snakes is kinda funny. But I guess I saw that coming from a guy without tattoos 😏 2 Quote Link to comment
specore Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 At least the hour+ I used to premeasure and bag the salt mix paid off. First batch mixed to 1.026 on the button. 1 Quote Link to comment
specore Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Definitely have a bully. Now leaning towards the hawkfish as the culprit. Witnessed him harassing the larger cardinal today during a pellet feeding. 1 Quote Link to comment
DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Did your snake shed yet? Everything go smoothly? 2 Quote Link to comment
That dank Reefer Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 That’s a pretty piebald. Use to have a lot of snakes. Man I remember when those snakes cost thousands. That hobby has definitely decreased in price. Yea usually they’re very docile, just handle it a lot it’ll warm up your just gonna get bit some but better now than later, they’ll def draw blood. 3 Quote Link to comment

She did...wasn't a great shed, but got it done. Suspect playing with the heat lamp didn't help. Also not sure about the previous owner's husbandry, as the screen top we got from her just doesn't hold humidity without some help. 55 minutes ago, That dank Reefer said: That’s a pretty piebald.

Hasn't struck at me for a few days now, even when I go to get her out. I can tell she's definitely considering it though 🙂 Have to say I like her a lot. May have to get my own once she gets passed to my son 😉 2 Quote Link to comment

specore Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Saw a relatively nice waiting room tank in a pediatricians office today. Running a couple of Kessil A360's 2 Quote Link to comment
specore Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Never really felt like this favia was doing anything. Can always see skeleton as if it is pissed or receding. Looking back at the WYSIWYG photo though and it has opbviously put on several new polyps, so who knows. Do favias just look this way normally? 1 Quote Link to comment

Good find. It grows so, I wouldn't worry. Not as plump as some would like. 2 Quote Link to comment
specore Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Shared this in the lounge, thought I'd post here as well. So my wife posts this picture of our five year old holding his brothers new pet then gets a call from the lady whose two boys we watch three days a week saying they aren't "comfortable" with having a snake around the boys (3 and 1) . 135 lb great dane not a concern, but a 3oz snake is dangerous enough that they may have to explore other options for child care.

specore Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Purple Queen is now eating .5mm NLS pellets 🙂 Quote Link to comment
specore Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Don't think I mentioned it here but the longnose hawkfish got to be quite the bully so traded him in for a royal gramma two weeks ago. The new addition seems to be getting more bold and has been eating well from the start. Hawkfish got purchased before I even left the LFS, so hopefully he found the right home as well. 1 Quote Link to comment

We have a problem...Have picked up another from Craigslist also, which my wife has claimed as hers. My wife and two oldest are not both into reptiles and want to try breeding next year. Working on getting some adult/sub adult females and building a couple of small racks to house everyone. Just now, DSFIRSTSLTWATER said: lol nevermind I just went to the website...lots of beautiful animals Mike was awesome to work with. Highly recommend if you are ever in the market for one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
