Feeding My Snakes & Happy Birthday Osiris!
Переглядів 256 місяців тому
Osiris is 1 year old today (6/17) and only weighed 17 grams at his last check. He didn't eat for almost 2 months, then shed surprisingly. I got him to eat a piece of Salmon back on 6/8. Will he eat this time??

Pros & Cons of My DIY Rack
Переглядів 199 місяців тому
Sharing another step in my journey so that others may learn from my choices (mistakes?). Social Media: Instagram: medusaherps Facebook: profile.php?id=61554669905013 Thanks for watching!
Snakes have been your world since you were a kid. I'm glad you're back at snakes... it's what you're meant to be doing.
With the regurgitation, lack of feeding, and gastrointestinal symptoms in multiple snakes, I would highly suggest a PCR test for cryptosporidium, especially in the regards to hognose snakes. I realize this video is 5-months old and circumstances may have changed since then.
@@XwolfbaneXx I've had a couple of them checked for internal parasites, Crypto and Coccidia..... everything negative. Currently adding NutriBac and ReptiVite to the food items for one of my females. All the other animals are eating regularly and/or gaining weight. I appreciate the advice/comment regardless of when the video was posted.👍
You can trim the excess tape off, just be sure to cut between the two black spaces!
@@jt56giants I thought about that, but ended up just leaving it. Used the provided foil tape with Gorilla Tape over top to hold it in place.
Cool collection. Hows that rack treating you?
@@Sentinel_Serpents Loving it! Easier for feeding/cleaning. My animals aren't as exposed as they were in my DIY setup(which hopefully makes them feel safer/more secure). 👍👍

Hey George - great victory - "honor system"
Thats great news!!
@@Sentinel_Serpents It certainly gives me some piece of mind!
Congrats on your new rack!
@@Sentinel_Serpents Thank you very much. I'm very excited, and happy about a couple of my girls getting bigger tubs with larger water bowls and hides.
I'm convinced hognose have an aversion to eating anything face first, at this point. Since they mainly eat amphibians and eggs in the wild, I suppose it makes sense. Beautiful little babies, and nice little tub set ups!
It does seem like they grab the middle or tail end first a lot of times 🤣😁
Aww, how did I not see this until just now! Thank you very much for the kind words, George! I love how soothing and calm your style is. Very nice, and look forward to enjoying this hobby together <3
You are quite welcome, and my voice only sounds like that when I have time to prep a script before recording. 🙄😁👍
Cool rainbow snake sticker!
It's the MorphMarket Logo. Funny enough, after I finished the unboxing I told the wife that I was going to give it to you. So, gifts 🎁 the next time we see each other!👍
Pretty sure you're good, snakes could survive the darndest things sometimes
She's my best eater, and is getting ready for her 1st shed since I got her. 100% attitude as well. Hopefully she will be able to carry eggs without any problems in a couple of years 🤞
@@MedusaHerpsgood luck!
Been on the fence on what rack to get for years. Theres plenty of rack reviews for each of these. What Ive found from watching is that most large scale breeders recommend getting the ARS because you can buy each level as you go and dont have to buy the entire setup immediately. These cost about $100 for the base and 130ish for each level. I would like to get a black box cages (16 or20) rack for hatchlings eventually and will probably get a Ve6 for adults to keep adults and hatchlings seperated as much as possible to help prevent any spread of crypto. Black box and ve6 can interchange tubs as they grow whereas the ARS does not unless you get the hybrid and only so far I think.ie hatchling to juvi but not juvi to adult. Im not sure though. I would prefer to make my own but lumber is expensive and pvc even more so. ARS look like a pain to put together but very sturdy. Blackbox looks like it comes all put together. There is a freight charge. Ve6 looks easy to put together but dont put the back on til after you install the heat tape. Free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. Either way the less snakes they hold the more cost per snake each rack is. I have not really looked onto the ap plastics but many people like the C serpents. Cloud colubrids has a good diy pvc and chris hardwick shows how to put together an ARS. Quirkys colubrid also made a cool diy hatchling rack. And now that Ive written a novel, have a great night! 😃
I appreciate your novel 😁. Hopefully my response will be a Short Story. C Serpents - Come assembled and with tubs, but don't offer much customization so multiple racks may be needed. Blackbox - Expensive plus freight. Again, limited configuration options. ARS - Add as you need, but too many choices. Difficult for me to configure 1 rack for adult males/females. Price is sort of an issue. Reptile Basics - Systems that hold multiple size tubs. Tubs aren't as tall as others, and I worry about the size of their small Hatchling tubs. Hatchling rack (I-6) doesn't stack with VE-6. My 2nd choice at the moment. Animal Plastics - Lead time (2 months for racks based on recent phone call). Lots of options for configuration (# of levels, tub size). 330 Hatchling rack will stack on 375 rack ( only 1 size of hatchling tubs though. Least expensive option. In the end I guess it comes down to personal choice and finances. I've got 4 yearlings ATM, hopefully add a couple more animals before the end of the year. I'll probably grab the AP racks, and then add stuff in a couple years when I start breeding. Thank you again for the response, I myself have been a bit overwhelmed with making a choice and it's always good to have other opinions/information. ✌️♥️🐍
@@Justin.HeterodonHome How do you like the I-80 tubs for your hatchlings? They seem small and narrow to me. Are you using the Super70s for enrichment or did your Girls outgrow the 28 qt? Thanks for sharing your knowledge/experience. 👍
✌️ ❤ 🐍
Cool hoggies! 😃 This turned out better than my first unboxing video where the snake wasnt even in the camera frame for 90% of the vid. 🤦♀️
Thanks for watching. I added the part at the end because I didn't feel like I showed the snakes enough. 🤷♂️✌️
Unboxing snakes should go viral. Much more exciting than unboxing baseball cards. 👍👏🐍😄
Baseball cards may pay for themselves sooner. 😆 Appreciate the view and comment. 👍
Thanks for sharing the info and the transparency, glad to have you in hognose hobby :) it’ll be a great journey for us.
Really appreciate the kind words. Your channel has been a big help, and influence on me as I've started this journey. ✌️
Great video and a reminder to be detailed 😊
Sometimes we have to make mistakes to learn things. 👍
