Can someone please give me any advice on handling my pet spotted python? Every time i attempt to pick him up he strikes and somtimes bites is there a particular way you should pick them up initially? Will it stop being so aggressive or have i choose the most aggressive in the store? He is about 10 months old and i have had him for about a week. Is it true they are calmer when they are cold?

I am thinking of buying a snake but i'm not sure which one to get...
I want either a green tree snake or a corn snake, which is cheapest?

How long do each of them grow?

What would be a good sized habitat for a snake, and what should I put in the cage?

How long would it take before they stop bitting?

How long do they live for?

Not including electricity bills, how much does it cost to buy heating for the cage, items for the cage etc...

Like dogs, can you get rabbies or any sickness from a bite?

I am a very new spotted python owner and need some advice. Im using a 75watt moonglobe during the day which is on most of the time except for when the thermostat turns it off, i wanted to know if it is nessesary to have it on all night? my Spotty python tends to stay in his hole at the cool end of the tank all day and only comes out after dark and basks for a short period and slithers around a while before returning to his hollow, is this normal behaviour and what should i do with the heating?
I also wanted to know if there was anything i can do to stop him from being so snappy as he is hard to handle when he is aggresive which is most of the time. PLEASE HELP.

I would like to know the size of the tank needed, does it need rocks to get up on, and how often should you clean the water and what kind of water should you use. also what do they eat and how often. thanks to all who respond...

I have a retile that is used to cold night climates of about 50 degrees, I have no problem keeping him warm the light puts off enough warmth, I Just cant think of how to bring the temp down. It is normally between 75 and 80 but at night i need it to drop to about 50 degrees farenheit.

I have read and read all the questions and comments about the video of Steve Irwin's death being released. There seems to be a LOT of misinformation out here.

First.. the footage of the stingrays was something he was doing for the new show he and Bindi were doing called Bindi the jungle girl, and was NOT for the documentary of the oceans most deadly creatures.

Second the BULL ray That barbed him was hidden under the sand,not in plain sight. Steve was not poking a stcik at it or harrassing it and prob did not know it was there!
Third... It was not a vicious attack from the ray... as Steve swam over it it startled, barbed him and took off. It is doubtful Steve ever realized what hit him.
Fourth It was fast
The ray stung him and Steve clutched his chest , pulled the barb and he was gone.... Thats it
Its not like there is hours of documentary footage etc... It was fast, unexpected and awful
Its up to the Irwins to decide if STEVE would have wanted it released. Give it a rest.

I 've had him for six years and he's always been healthy.He stays outside all year round(he hibernates from October to April)He has a large (6x10 ft.)enclosure with all kinds of plants for him to nibble on and a house,water pan,etc.He's fed all kinds of greens,flowers,weeds. Also carrots,green beans,apples,and occasionally bananas and berries.He also likes an earthworm now and then.But lately he acts as if he can't open his mouth all the way;he wants to eat,but he acts as though it's painful to open his mouth. I took him to the vet,and he was given Baytril,but he still won't ,or can't eat,so I' ve been pureeing his food and force-feeding him with a syringe(no easy feat,let me tell you).I noticed that his tongue looks red.Could it be a vitamin deficiency,or stomatitis?My vet is good,but she is not a reptile specialist,and I don't have the 300 bucks to take him to the Reptile vet right now.Can anyone help?

so i'm scared my red eared slider turtle might have a health problem.
i noticed when i was cleaning his cage and washing him off tonight that he had like this little clear sqaure filmy thing come off of a part of his back. almost like he was shedding like a snake.
is this normal?
ps- i've never taken him to the vet, do turtles even need to go to the vet?
