Default Plea for help - Dead reptiles needed

Sorry there is no sensitive way to do this, please don't read if easily offended or offended by lizard/snake eating reptiles.

Urgently required in the midlands area are any dead snakes, no hatchlings but anything 3ft and over (no top limit to size). Please could anyone in the midlands area (proximity to notts ideal) who has anyhting die please freeze it and PM me. This is for an Ophiophagus hannah that is still an exclusive snake feeder, and at 12-14ft it is getting through a fair amount. Any size is fine, as she will take whole or "portioned" snake. Also anything you already have frozen would be appreciated.


Also a ditto on this for any small lizards (anoles, hatchling geckos etc) possibly required again as nerar to mansfield, notts as possible. Please freeze them and contact us, the lizards not as urgent as the snakes, worst we can say is "no thank you" in which case it can be disposed of in whatever manner you feel best.
Please, this is not a debate on the rights and wrongs. Start your own thread if you wish to discuss that.

Deceased snakes any size but the larger the better and deceased lizards (small) needed.

thank you for your time and any help.

thats gonna be a struggle to cross over to rodents at that age, not a fun snake to feed at that size.

Right on both counts.

it'#s the biggest one i've ever seen, granted I have only seen a few but it's still an impressive snake.

Unfortunately she is a greedy cow, she'd eat CPR out of snakes in weeks.

can i ask out of genuine interest... if for instance a snake died and someone donated... would there be a need to know WHY the feeder snake had died... for instance ilness or infection.. and IF it was ilness or infection could that be passed onto the Ophiophagus hannah,

I am not clued up on the species you have in any way i just wonderd if it was the same as snake eating snakes in the wild who can contract parasites and infections this way...

I think that its 100% fine to ask for donations of dead snakes for your Ophiophagus... id prefer a dead reptile to go to good use than to bury it anyway...
