Yeah reptiles are expensive here too. I don't often see snakes in the wild though when I do it's usually a deadly brown snake :oops:

They are lovely snakes, though they are not Australian natives so they're illegal to own here unfortunately (in Australia you can only own native reptiles and need a license to keep them). I do have a snake now though. He/she is a baby centralian carpet python (also called a bredli). His/her...

My beardie, Sam, is weird. He LOVES calcium powder. He would eat it on it's own if given the chance.

Exciting thing today, Sam is six years old! :wee We don't know the exact date he hatched so we celebrate it on the 3rd of January (which is the date here in Australia at the moment).

He's so cute!!!

Wow, you sound like me! I do have the aviary though kinda. I have cockatiels, princess parrots, a budgie, a bourke's and three galahs I'm fostering. It gets very busy here.

Sam is the same with the pooping, he doesn't like to go in his tank. Sam also loves blueberries and would pick them out from his veggies too. I put pansy flowers in his salad as he LOVES them and will always accept them. I put two or three in every so often and he digs around for them, eating...

I put water in because he drinks it. Maybe I have the weird lizards :) I did a LOT of research recently when I was trying to find a good substrate to use and found positives and negatives on literally every substrate in existence. Some arguments were poorer than others but eventually I settled...

I would recommend a beardie. I've owned beardies for about eight years, not as long as @FortCluck (that's so cool by the way), but I've learned stuff along the way. Also, random info, Sam (my beardie) is going to be six soon. For feeding, it is depends on how old they are. If they're a baby...

In regards to the live/dead feeding, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm pretty sure it's illegal in Australia to feed live rodents to snakes, not to mention the risk to the snake. With those points in mind, and since I'm yet to find any major benefits of live feeding, I'm definitely...

His tank looks great! I bet he loves it. Sam loves his hammock too, though his wasn't as great a deal.

I was looking at more snake species and came across two more I love and want. I was considering an olive python. I love their olive skin. But I think I'd be throwing myself in the deep end with one of Australia's largest snakes! I also came across the jungle carpet python which is one of the...

They are sooo gorgeous. I'm so sad you can't have ball pythons in Australia since they're not native. I would never feed my snake live prey. Besides the fact I'm pretty sure it's illegal in Australia, I've heard too many bad stories about either aggressive snakes or rats fighting back. It's...

I discovered today that my stick insect was dead. She must have lived her full lifespan as they are only meant to live for 8-12 months. My stick insects never bred like I was hoping. I'm hoping though to use the now empty tank for a snake soon. I'm thinking of getting either a centralian...

Can't wait!

I bought a hammock like that for Sam. Spent about $30 on it. I later found the same hammock material at Bunnings warehouse for $2! Feeling ripped off.

Sam loves being outside. But if you turn away for a minute, he's gone. he runs so quickly. We've lost him outside twice, we've forgotten he's out there for most of the day and of course he is so quiet so you can't just call out to him. The second time, we were out all day and it was raining. We...

My beardie loves the chickens. When he's outside with us, he bolts for the chicken coop and crawls through the chicken wire. The chooks are terrified of him, it's hilarious!

Yes, I suppose people would feel worse about feeding the mice to their snake if they had pretty colours ha!

It's also illegal in Australia to feed live mice and rats to snakes.
