HI I have a friend that is looking for a sandfire bearded dragon juvenile available in the Gauteng area. I once saw some at a small pet shop in Kimiaad driving range Pretoria, but that shop no longer exists. Does anyone know of a breeder or someone that has sandfire's available? Please PM me. Thanks...

Hi. Not sure where to post this so please feel free to move this post if this is not the right discussion. I have been involved with snakes for most of my life, and lived in Botswana for 7 years where we were very involved with rescuing snakes etc. I moved to Dubai two years ago and currently live i...

HI bundu boy

I dont have. I will take some pics of her tonight and then i will post it. Just as an update.... i am applying betadine solution between applications of bactroban.

Thanks for the info on that. I see her eyes are milky so she is shedding. Hopefully all will go well.

Hi guys

Thanks for all the advice. Will get all the goodies today and start making her a healthy snake again.!!!

Jip.... its Dudette with a capital D ! I wouldnt know what they weigh in. I thought these were almost full grown, but i saw some pics on the internet and they get much bigger. The female though is smaller than the male although they are the same age. She was a fussy eater apparently. But she is very...

I read some topics and a very interesting subject arouse. Being bitten, and which is the worst. Obviously, with venomous snakes as oppose to bythons or boas, there is no comparison. But between the different boa species and pythons, you might be able to draw up a conclusion. I know there are obvious...

HI I hope someone can help me. I recently got another rescue in. Its an adult female ball python. She is really big and gorgeous, but it seems that she has two thermal burns. It must have happened recently (i got her yesterday). When i got her, i saw the two burns and put some repti-aid on it. (livi...

Thank you Insaniac and Bushviper for the replies. I will contact the Dubai Cites department tomorrow first thing. It is quite a battle getting anything done here. Being an expat puts you in a unfair disadvantage. But i will fight for my snakes. I really can't bear to have to leave them here. And i w...

Good day I need some urgent info from you guys, as getting information from government offices seem to be futile. I am staying in Dubai and i have 3 ball pythons and two bloods. They are all rescued snakes, but the two bloods have CITES certificates which i got from the lady who imported them from t...

Hi Icarus Welcome to the forum. I have been a member for a while, but not always very active on the forums... I have been working with reptiles for 18 years, but mostly indigenous. Only recently started with exotics, and only more into rescueing exotics that are unwanted pets, or kept in bad conditi...

Hi All We recently moved to Dubai in the UAE. I was extensively involved in reptiles while staying in SA. Of course i couldnt bring any of them with me. But in my first month he i ended up getting involved in rescuing reptiles again. Now, 8 months later, it has grew extensively. I have a few rescued...

Hi all Thanks so much for the advice and replies. Well i am going to get them Monday night and apparently, in the whole UAE (United Arab Emirates), this is the only two blood pythons. So i really want to try and breed them. I spoke to their current owner. She says that they were both imported from a...

Thanks to everyone for the replies. They are gorgeous snakes. These ones as i understand, is also Brongersmai. Your help is very very appreciated.

Also, these snakes have since they were purchased, never ever shared an enclosure.
Would it be ok to put them together ? A male and female?

HAHA - Not a bad idea at all. I dont have any with the snake... i have some other pics too... but no snake with it

I can contact my friend and ask him to forward the pics to me, but yes. That sounds like a great idea.

Hi Bushviper

Yes that is the pic. I did it for a friend's website (as you would see on the printing on it). but the snake is mine
