Spiders or snakes????

[Willowy]

I know, it's crazy! My boa is a motley, but boas don't have as many morphs as ball pythons and cornsnakes. My brother's BP and corn both have like 3 or 4 different genes. . .can't remember exactly which ones they are though. Very pretty. Mine are plainer: a regular, a pastel, and a cinnamon lesser.

Spjder, I'm not sure but it would be interesting to see a snake! I did get to see a tiny spider wrapping an ant in a cocoon. That was cool.

You can't free-feed a snake. If you let live mice or rats run around in their enclosure, the rodents will bite/eat the snake, causing infections and/or death. Feeding pre-killed rodents is best, but if live rodents must be used, they should only be put in the enclosure when the snake is good and hungry, and removed promptly if the snake doesn't eat them right away.

Geez! Snakes seem difficult to care for!

Interesting to see a snake? Have you never seen one? If so, you are so lucky! Snakes are so scary! Spiders are pretty cool, especially when they are wrapping their prey up in their webs to save for later.

snakes are easy to care. easy to tell when they are going to molt as well

 

[Willowy]

Yep, snakes are pretty easy, of course you need to know their particular needs but all they really want out of life is a warm hiding place and a nice rat now and then.

Molting is were they shed their skin, right?

Please keep your cats inside if in the country!

 

[KittyJ]

Scary! King snakes are actually really good. They eat rattle snakes.

More like, "keep your snakes inside!" LOL!

Just kidding. Snakes can bite cats so, yes, keep your cats inside.

Aren't king snakes constrictors, and therefore not venomous?

You are correct. I was just copying what someone else wrote
