r/snakes

Found this 'guy' in my house.

I think it is a ring neck yearling.

Where would be an appropriate place to release him back in the wild? Wood pile?

Btw, my kids went straight from fear to loving this guy.

ETA: Eastern KY, USA.

Saw this beautiful wild coachwhip today! Was roughly a meter long/ 3-ish feet in central Arizona. I accidentally scared this poor baby by slamming my gate. (I didn’t expect a snake to be fair but I still felt bad)

i just got a corn snake on monday! his name is ember (he’s got a little pecker on his head) LOL. i’d like to see others corn snakes too!

She shed around 2 days ago

That was her at 3 years old. She’s 6 now :)

I just took out my boa and saw she has these really bad scratches above her eyes. They looked scarred over but still concerning that I didn’t catch them earlier. Should I do something or wait to see if they heal?

Hello. My Mexican black king was attacked sometime last night by my cat (I don’t know the exact time). I woke up around 11:30am and noticed that the top of his enclosure collapsed and broke. It took hours to find him but he was in a cardboard box near the enclosure under books. He has a big chunk of scales missing and I noticed a little blood. He has scratches on his scales, other small singular scale injures, and one more on his opposite side that didn’t remove and scales. I’ve contacted a lot of vets and the closest ER exotic place that will take him is 2.5 hours away. Is it worth going asap or to wait till the morning. I hade a few people tell me to go asap and my research online has said the same thing. If anyone can give me more advice I’d appreciate it. I plan to leave soon but if I can save a trip and go in the morning that would be great.
(I wear a glove in the photos because he is a grump pants)
I wasn’t able to get photos of all of his other, smaller injuries

Pretty sure it's a DeKay's Brown Snake, there aren't many snakes endemic to Michigan.

Hello, I’m trying to find a thermostat that does day and night temps with a timer. I’m currently switching it manually every morning. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Amazon availability would be preferred since no places around me really carry anything.

I’m also wondering if there’s a better heating option to the ceramic over head, I run it with a basking light. The light alone isn’t hot enough but the ceramic element seems to really affect the humidity.

She is currently in a 40 gallon tank 36x18x18 until we make her bigger enclosure over the winter.

I have an adult BCI male in a 5'×2'×2' bioactive dubia roach enclosure. My dad and 16 year old brother want to buy the snake and set up from me. I trust that they would give the snake a good home, but I really wasnt expecting them to ask me to buy my snake, and I have no idea what a fair asking price would be. The enclosure itself without anything in it was $400 and I just set it up 2 months ago so the enclosure is basically brand new. The sand, topsoil, and plants I bought for the tank were atleast $100, plus theres a large established colony of isopods and springtails. I have had this guy for 5 years now and he was an older juvenile when I got him. Online im seeing around $200 for most standard adult bcis, does this seem correct? I will be sad to see him go, even though I know Ill still get to visit. I almost dont want to sell him as I am connected to him. But at the same time I am considering it as I do have a lot of obligations right now and feel that theyd be able to interact with him a whole lot more. I want to give my family a good deal but also get a fair price for the sacrafice Im making in rehoming him to them. Attached is a picture of him in the bath for tax

I wanted to show off how big my boy (?) Cornelius has gotten! Think he’s ready for bigger mice than pinkies? Also does he look healthy? First snake and I’m a paranoid pet parent

Uncles adults had babies and gifted me one (2 weeks old) | was told to massage it and that it'd go away. I don't see any progress and i'm kind of worried it'II cause issues pooping or digestion? he ate fine after first shed.

Just got this beautiful girl and was told it was a ribbon snake. Any idea what the exact species is. Thanks in advance

Hi all, first time snake owner here, got this boy(?) about 6 months ago. He’s a spotted children’s python, and the reptile store says he was around 1 year old when I got him.

He’s currently 95grams, and ~85cm long. I feed him one fuzzy mice a week, and he’s been eating perfectly. As of late thought I’ve noticed him seeming more hungry, sitting at the door when I enter the room, and staring at me whilst tongue flicking when I sit at my desk just outside his enclosure. Last week I offered 2 fuzzys, and he took the second one enthusiastically, right after swallowing the first.

Photos attached to help out, should he be moved up a food size or is he just being nosy!
