Reticulated Python

This Species is not for everyone. Reticulated are probably the longest snakes in the world. topping out at over 30feet. Having reputation for it bad temperament and is not a good choice for a pet especially beginner. You Should only consider owning of of this species only if you have had a lots of experiences with smaller species, have a lot of money to spend on a big vivarium and can give a guaranteed commitments for years to come.


Captive Breed Reticulated







Retic feeding

The Beauty of reticulated pythons would seem to make them favorites in any python breeding programs, But truth these tend to be very big, Very Short tempered. Baby reticulated easily reach 3 feet when 1st hatched. The young feed readily and growth rapid. within the first year a once baby reticulated can measure 10 feet in length.
So what do you do when they grow big? This are the problem in keeping big snakes. there are two problem in my opinion. Many keepers of larger snakes decide when their snakes reach 8feet to 10feet that this snakes is too big. Big snakes are not easy to get rid of. Other hobbyist don't want it. Zoos usually have already have their own specimens or aren't interested in dealing with a snakes that size. Breeder only sometimes buy or take large python. So you should only consider this problem before you acquire that cute little baby.

My Blood Is back

This blood went missing for almost 6 months. She went out of her cages after a weeks I bought her. So i kinda forget what species of blood she really was. She finally came out of her hiding last June. After quarantine her for almost three months, Spraying her body with pro Mite as I seen Her body got mites as I found her back In my house drain, I think she been hiding there for the last 6 months. Feeding her few times and She gain back her weight.




This Blood are one mean snakes, Striking rapidly to bite any movement. I think its from not feeding and handling her on her early stage. I can tell that she is nervous all the times as her body keep breathing fast every time when I open her enclosure to look at her.

But think for a second. Are you vegetarian? If not, u, yourself eat meat too. Think of the person that slaughter the chicken and cow for you to consume. If you eat those Burger or what ever sausages whatever meat I say you are cruel too. U are no different. At least snakes eat rodent which consider pest to some peoples.
Bah if you think U want to save those rodents. My house banyak house rats tu, bah adopt tia, tarus, bawa trap sajur to catch it.

My three Green Tree python

Anyone into Green Tree Python? I know I really do..Still I didn't know till now whether if there are someone in Brunei Keeping them. I got Three Biak Green Tree Python in my Collection. Just wanted to show you guys the update on my Green Tree Python. Two that turn into green and one unique looking GTP that Still maintain some of it Yellow even-though she been with me for 3 years now. Yet She still maintain it Juvenile color.





Well GTP are not really for everyone. GTP are not beginner pets to keep as pets.Far far different from Ball python.. They are bitey and mean snakes although some do become docile with a lot of handling and patience. They are nice snakes if you intent just to display them in your terrarium. I Intends to add few of this gtp from different locality. My targets is cyclops and wamena locality but ofcoz if can get the blue Gtp that is the best. Jahat pun jahat lah asal lawa..Also baik jua Ular jahat dari Orang jahat..

Another Version of Rosy Boa

You seen My Normal Rosy Boa. What can be more better to own Albino Version of that Rosy Boa too. Here is my Albino Central Baja Rosy Boa. What do you think of that? pretty hmmm. This rosy boa are an adult female. Even though I think she ready to be breed but I think It better to wait till a year or so.





Now All I want is now to search for An Anery Rosy Boa. So I can try and breed them and hopefully can get a snow Rosy Boa from that breeding. You Guy might think I keep Buying snakes but this species is my wanted list for years, So when I came across. I have to buy it.Just for you guy info. A boa and python are quite similar but Boa is a live bearer and what it mean is that It give birth to live snakes where as python lay eggs.
For all the Muslim people around the world. I wish you all Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri Maaf Zahir dan Batin for this coming festival

Central Baja Rosy Boa

Greeting!! It my 1st post for this month. After few year of searching for this species. I finally found them.This is the species that I mention in previous2 post. I 1st encounter this species from an Indonesian Magazine few year back. After reading and understanding their characteristic I begin my search to own one. I can say It was not easy to find this species, What available most an Wild caught specimen and wild caught specimen are not in my list to keep.







Central Baja Rosy Boa is an attractive and secretive inhabitants of the desert of South-Western North America. With the length of only 1 meter as an adult. The Movements of the Rosy Boa are slow and deliberate, although it can strike quickly. Like all boas, it is a powerful constrictor. It is completely inoffensive towards humans and is frequently keep as pet. Btw I got invited again to exhibit my animals in September. But as I say in my previous post. Too many show easily bored people and most importantly. know your animals before you exhibit them.  Endangered n Protected animals are not to be display. Walaupun kan meNGAMBANG. Unless you got some sort of special permit from locaL authorities but I strongly doubt it that will happen.
