Boa Enclosures

BillApocGreen — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:18:20 GMT

Just wondering if anyone here has some amazing boa enclosures to show pics of. We're thinking about getting a few more boas and we would love to get some ideas of enclosures for when they get bigger. Also enclosures made for any big snake will do, please post soon!

FYI We're looking into getting an Albino and a Salmon Red Tailed Boa. A breeding pair. So were looking for ideas for at least two enclosures. Thanks everyone!

Show me your anole tanks!

I need to see pictures of your anole tanks. I am having trouble coming up with a way to set one up. Maybe I can get some ideas.

Question: one of his claws is missing, will it grow back when he sheds? its just the claw, not the finger.

Some recent photos

RabidReptile — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:35:50 GMT

Here are some photos I've taken over the last few months.

Smaug the Broad-Headed Skink and his beautiful coconut fiber hat:

A "turtle tower"!

And here's some pics of the black ratsnake clutch hatched a few months ago:

A closeup of the scales. I love the reddish coloration on these guys.

And of course Flitz, the Black Ratsnake.

I also have more pics on the camera, and I'll post them when I get them uploaded to Flickr.

Awesome Herptile Pics!

Update on Drake's Enclosure

Maximum — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:44:15 GMT

I redid Drakes enclosure recently, adding a basking rock and this huge piece of driftwood I found. He is in a 55 gallon tank right now, soon to be a 4' x 2', as soon as we move out of our current house.

Here it is:

What cameras do you have and which one do you use to take pictures of your herps? I use a Fugifilm fine pix S-5200.

Poison — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:56:33 GMT

.... LOL... one of the angriest garters I have encountered....

He was chasing a korean family... they were amazed I picked him up -most snakes where they come from, you simply don't take chances, they likely could kill you. They didn't like him, but were very interested in his harmlessness and asked lots of questions.

My lucky trip to NC

RabidReptile — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:41:52 GMT

The Thursday before last, my sisters and I took a trip to North Carolina, where we stayed with our Aunt for 5 days. I was really hoping that I'd get extremely lucky and see a green treefrog and a green anole. "Yeah right!" I thought. Here in VA, all lizards are brown and all frogs are gray or brown. I wanted so see some color.

Well, we arrived at my Aunt's house late at night and as we were walking up to the door, we spotted a green treefrog sitting on the railing. "No way," I thought. "I'm getting too lucky."

Then on Sunday as we were driving up to the house, my sister saw something green in the holly plant. A closer look revealed a green anole. Now I was feeling overwhelmingly lucky.

The next day I walked out the door and a lizard blur jumped underneath a flower pot. I'm guessing it was a five-lined or ground skink.

While we were in NC, we visited the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. Here are some pictures of the snake section.

Before we left, one of my brothers was going on and on about how hot and humid it would be in NC. One of my sisters was going to be a Lazy Daze vendor, and we were all looking forward to roasting at the festival (uh, not really). Lucky us, only the first couple hours were sunny and it was cloudy and pouring down rain the rest of the time. I don't think the sun shined until the last day we were there!

Florida box turtles and others

Grant — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:16:58 GMT

I finally got some pictures of the new Florida box turtles, plus some of the other reptiles and amhibian. These pictures are taken with a Nikon COOLPIX S560, with a white posterboard background and (in some shots) an Exo Terra small reptile cave.

Here are the pictures of the box turtles. I have four, two are about six weeks old and the other two are about ten weeks old. At this point, they are unnamed, but I am currently brainstorming! (It's hard to think of four names at once.) If you have any ideas, feel free to suggest them.

The biggest one.

Second biggest.

Third biggest...er, second smallest?

The smallest.

Smallest compared to quarter for size reference.

Now here are some pictures of my high yellow leoprard gecko, Oz.

This is my brindle dalmation crested gecko, Chaos.

This is the harlequin crested gecko, Venus.

And last, but not least, is the mossy frog, Porter!

senior beaver — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 11:06:34 GMT

I'm looking to buy a new digital camera to take pix of my herps., especially babies, so I need to get close. Anyone have any suggestions? Pro's or con's? Thanks for any input.

Nature Photography Update

oneWorld — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:20:13 GMT

Alright, I know that I've talked about my nature photography blog before here on ReptileChannel, but I havn't in a LONG time. So, if you would, you guys could check it out (don't be afraid to leave comments!). I am currently working on trying to create my own custom made template for it so the current one will have to do for now...

Here is the link:

Freckles outside

Sorrak — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:31:06 GMT

Well,Freckles did pretty good out in my lawn.Check the pictures out,I was on my belly for 100% of the time,got dirt and grass stains on my elbows and hands,and got chased by a wasp onto my padio,but it was worth it.

Mid-step

After a while,Freckles ran under the shade of my neighbor's bush and insted of hiding,she just deisded to lie down.I picked her up and she was extremly hot to I put her in my sink with some room tempurature water up to her belly to cool her down.I wrapped her up in a wash cloth and lft her hang out in my room.I did take a picture of her though,it's not the best one I've ever taken.

Hey, just wondering how everyone else plants/arranges their herp homes! This is where you can brag about how much you like your animals and their homes. So go ahead- show off your animals and their homes!

Your Best Herp Photos

RabidReptile — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:53:56 GMT

What are the best herp photos you've ever taken?

Around here, I see lots of herps and love photographing them. I've been wanting to photograph herps for a long time, but until recently, I didn't have a good enough camera.

Here are some of my favorites:

This amazingly brave Five-Lined Skink allowed me to take his portrait.

Another shot of the same skink.

Here is a Black Rat snake in a gutter hose. If you ever see me leaning down onto the ground with a camera and looking into a gutter hose, you know what I'm doing!

It was actually my sister who took this great photo of the Eastern Fence Lizard, and it was featured as the photograph of the month on the Virginia Herpetological Society's website.

This is my crazy Broad-Headed skink, Smaug, hanging from the terrarium top. Total nut.

Another photo of the same fence lizard pictured above.

3 of my 6 Eastern Painted Turtles having a secret conference.

Post your best herp pics!

Happy herping!
