He is a toxic morph (toffee belly & axanthic) and he is the sweetest lil dude 🥰

I have a fish tank thats 110x45x50cm (39x18x20 inches). I was thinking of selling off everything inside of it as I dont have as much time for it, and sooner lr later my baby will need a larger thank anyhow. He is about 9 months old, about 15 cm. Is it too big for him right away? It will be heavily decorated.

Thanks!

Is this normal, if not- is it dangerous?

I can't help it, he's just so cute!!

Had him for 6 months now and he has gotten so big!

First picture is the most recent the last picture is from the first day I got him!

Normally high food response wouldn’t be a problem, but he thinks EVERYTHING is food, even a hand he’s currently sitting on. I don’t know what to do, he has been fed three days ago.

When I was buying him he went for the breeder’s hands, but at that time I thought he was just hungry. Then he went for mine when I was relocating him to his enclosure. 30 minutes after eating, because he wouldn’t even let me get near before his first meal at my house (I was quick and careful to not make him throw up). Now that he’s settled after a few days he still bites. I make sure to wash my hands very well with soap before handling and he still goes for it. Doesn’t matter if it’s literally the hand he’s currently sitting on. I tried to be patient, gave him breaks before trying again, and he. STILL. BITES! Every time! And it seems like every time there’s more blood.

I really don’t know what to do here, I obviously don’t want to overfeed him, but he acts like he’s literally starving. It’s as if the breeder was feeding him with human fingers instead of mice. What can I do with this ravenous creature?

This is Mable! I'm upgrading her to a 40 gallon bioactive enclosure with a substrate made of top soil and play sand. I was thinking about adding a section with a top layer of just sand or in a dish for enrichment. is this a bad idea?

She's not dead, I'm just on vacation and therefore not home

I can't get over how cute she looks in this picture 🥹

Heyo!! I was here a little bit ago asking for advice setting up an enclosure. I have a snake now!! He’s about a year-ish old, and his breeder was giving him a large thawed pinky each week. I knew my snake may not eat right away since I had just got him, but he only eats every few weeks, and only after food has been sitting for a day. I don’t want him eating bad food, but he refuses to eat unless I leave it. This may be because he doesn’t come up from burrowing much, but I’m not sure.
He still isn’t very comfortable with me, hissing and even pretending to attempt to bite me when I’m near his tank. I’ve only had him about two three months, and the breeder said he was super spicy too.
I recently saw he used the bathroom too, I’m not sure if that’s related in any way. He seems kinda skinny on the videos I get of him (there’s a camera in his tank) not dangerously skinny but skinnier than when I got him.
Warm side of his tank is 80 degrees, cool side is 70. Tank is long enough for him to stretch out completely and then some. I tried to clutter the tank quite a bit, there’s a humidity hide as well. Heat lamp is on 24/7, should I be turning it off at night?

dramatic noodle I swear she doesn’t hate me😞 she just wakes up in a pissy mood sometimes

Found my guy has these bumps over him today. He didn’t have them over the weekend so come up quick. Moving fine, doesn’t seem lethargic, ate Friday. Anyone have any clue what they could be?
Exotic vet appointment booked but meantime any experience from anyone what it could be?

My boy usually sheds in the middle of the night, but today he let me watch him from start to finish.

Anyone know why my hognose suddenly started sitting in that spot? I rarely see him move somewhere else and just stay in the corner. When the lights go out he buries himself and when lights go on he sits there again and it’s like that every day for the last week/2 weeks.

It’s the far corner of the enclosure, warm side is around 35 Celsius where he’s at

I'm sorry for being happy to see you? 😂🥲
