You'd have to ask your local shelter if they handle exotics and/or reptiles. Don't get me started on the HSUS policies (or lack thereof) regarding snakes, I...
Based on recent discussions, I have created a short list of rules for this list. I had solicited input from this group a week ago. No one's replied with...

hi, i was on the colorado reptile humane society website (the one in longmont, i think) and decided to look at turtles. (my friend likes turtles, so i was...
Wow, they sound like they really do go above and beyond to try to give as good of a life as possible after a reptile has suffered abuse. I know that Jan here...
Of course, giving a reptile as a pet is only acceptable for people that are already into reptiles, if they have other reptiles in their household and really do...
obviously, the people who wrote the article don't care that much about reptiles. giving a reptile to someone who doesn't have any experience with them is just...
I wanted to take this chance to raise some awareness around this snake. This is a critically endangered species of snake found in the European country Cyprus....
Agreed. Like I stated, I only purchased a baby Dumeril's boa for my husband's 40th birthday present because he'd been wanting one for a while, it certainly...
oh Kat, If I gave my Hubby a snake, he be fine with if too. Experienced herp families really don't count, we also know how to re-home them properly if we had...
true, education of all the non-herpers out there is vital. Unfortunately in this day and age, all animals are seen as disposible, which is why there are feral...
yes! education is the key! we need many more snake education programs, for all age ranges. my corn is far to young to educate people (hatched in august), but...
... IMHO you should make sure that you have Serpenticula out and being handled *by you* every day, maybe more than once a day. Make it so ordinary to be...
That is what I had done with all of our snakes, I let them get used to my handling them, then I start letting them meet my son's friends that come over. Then,...
FYI, my Female dumerils Boa is wonderful with people. Mr. and Mrs. Otis and Pearl Dumeril enjoy coming out. Otis prefers to "perch" he makes a beautiful...
Latifah was only born May 2006, then had flown inside a little box from OR to AZ in late October, once it was cool enough in AZ to receive her. We have tried...
I certainly wouldn't mind getting a snake as a gift, and I've done plenty of research on how to take care of some of them. Anyone feeling generous this...
Dumerils are ambush eaters, give her a hide log or some moss to hide in then play mouse puppets! Let her think she is hiding and she will might ambush it. Just...
Jason Why is it so hard for you to let nature be nature?? I have been reading your posts on everything from your support of defanging venomous and your...
... Thanks, Matt for posting this very interesting article. It just takes one person to make a difference. I wish I had money to send to this gentleman but my ...
thanks for the input, those of you who said something. i didn't mean letting kids hold her, i meant having kids pet her gently while i held her. like tell...
Kathy, we don't take any of our snakes to programs until they are at least a year old. I am too worried about them escaping when they are that small or of ...
I used to do alot of Exotic Animla shows in NY, Conn, and NJ. Lots of schools, daycares,nursing home (pet therpy) police and fire dept. I would put the sankes...
Jason, since the Cyprus Grass Snake's main predator is man, are you willing to commit murder? How will you know that the people you kill to save the snakes are...
Habitat loss is the single biggest factor contributing to snake species becoming at risk and endangered. Wetlands are continually degraded, and forests,...
Your story about the snake not feeling well and the chemo kids reminded me of the best snake I ever had for getting people's attention- I had a gorgeous coast...
... The main cause of habitat loss is overpopulation of humans. But very few groups dare to say anything about this. We celebrate the first baby of the New ...
I lived in San Antonio for a short time and because so many developments are expanding all abound the city. Now a rattler that in the past stayed out in the...
Sounds like people from Louisanana have the right idea about that. Seems that the people in Arizona are somewhere between the two extremes as far as new...
