Get something from the top shelf? Done. Hanging curtains? Done. Flipping rocks on hiking trail? Easy. Climbing something? You betcha. Dropped your keys in a crevice? Cake. Get cat out from under bed? Done. Gotta scratch your back? GOATEDDDDDD

I put a post on here recently, asking you guys a few questions about your venomous snakes, and even though I’m an outsider and I don’t have any venomous snakes and don’t have any interest in getting one anytime soon you guys were really open to answering my questions and I appreciate it. So I have a few more questions. What was your first venomous snake? Did you guys get particularly aggressive Non-venomous prior to venomous? What do you do with your venomous snakes? Do they pretty much just stay in the tank most of the time considering there’s probably not much interaction, you can do with them.

Hello! My ‘26 CBB male beaded has been exhibiting some strange behavior recently. The last few days he has been either very lethargic/sluggish or very defensive. Both are quite abnormal for him. He is eating and drinking, temps, UV, and humidity are good. No changes to the room, diet, schedule, or interactions. No mucus, labored breathing, abdominal distention, or prolapse. He last had a bowel movement 2 days ago and it appeared normal. This is my first Heloderma but I have plenty of experience with reptiles both venomous and non-venomous, just have not had this issue before without obvious cause. Any advice?

Howdy! Does anyone have any reliable husbandry recs for vines? I know they’re very mild in potency, but other subreddits have failed me on this one 🫩
