Male vs. female, typical vs. T+ amelanistic house snakes; Carmel dwarfs her eventual (hopefully) boyfriend, and still could almost double her own size Carmel and Hobbes by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Domhara became an ankle monitor Domhara ankle bracelet by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr And Callie...

Latest generation has begun to mature, and a different color from their parents per usual here P. paradoxa new generation by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr P. paradoxa new generation by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr And the last dies away; only time I can get wing photos. Plus, since she's dried this...

Callie is over 8 feet now Callie by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Callie by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

It would be wise to figure out a plan for that future time before getting the animal then, especially as just about any snake should live at least 10+ years and most can push 20 minimum and will be around then, and most college dorms etc. are not often willing to permit more than a goldfish. 

Exposure. If they don't already like snakes there's not much that is going to help, so that would need to be fixed. Otherwise, literally, it's a frozen mouse a week and the cleanup after for most species, heat pad on one end, clean water bowl on the other, and I shred paper as substrate. As a...

It's a pair of pants, not a scarf. Wasn't aware of her attempt until I noticed she hadn't moved for several moments, and looked down... I have 24 snakes. They're actually cheaper than the mantids, and most a lot more willing to interact with people.

No sales of the pendants yet...perhaps the next set will garner more interest. Meanwhile, reptiles: Midnight by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr With the passing of my oldest, Candice, (13 1/2 years), Midnight is now the elder of the house at 10 1/2, and largest in the house currently at over 5 feet...

The Creos are maturing! Creobroter sp. female by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Creobroter sp. female by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Unfortunately, one male has had issues (looked neurological) since he molted to subadult, so this mature male here is my one and only. I really hope I can keep him...

They're resin, and the resin is clear on its own. I mixed the color based on the color of the snake the sheds come from.

Trying out something a little different; if you might be interested in one, let me know: Snakeskin jewelry by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr These were made with a shed from my Cape House Snake, Hobbes. A natural jewelry with an educational aspect; I intend to send these out with a little info slip...

Aren't they just adorable...male and female nymph P. paradoxa by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr And the Elmantis are maturing again..unfortunately I'll probably have to rely on the younger males as these will likely be dead by the time the females mature Elmantis sp. male by Hawken Carlton, on...

He's not particularly little anymore, pushing 2 feet, so yes, he breaks the skin. If they grab at the right angle even a hatchling can too. But, it's a pinprick either way; if you can avoid flinching and pulling away though, even a large reticulated python bite is little more than a bunch of...

Oi....what is it about me being bit that people find so amusing? This and the other photo set I have of similar setting are quite possibly the most popular posts I've ever made on FB and IG...and he obviously finds it enjoyable. Tsefan noms by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr No, it doesn't really...

Decided to share a couple more pics for the heck of it... Rebel by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Rebel by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Hobbes by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Hobbes by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Hobbes by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr And my Black Pine, judging me from on high. Tsela by...

Well, since those photos, a few others have joined (notably, my European representative Ladder Snake and federally protected Black Pine), filling out the collection for the forseeable future. Pics on the others will show up on my blog posts at carltoncarnivores.com, but here for now, a shot of...

Well, I think for now I'm gonna stick with some of the smaller species until I have the space to really set up a bunch of big enclosures for the larger species...I've had continued success with Elmantis and Phyllocrania, and now gonna try one more:  Creobroter sp. by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr...
