I have a Female burm (2010). She has always been lovely, bit hissy but nothing out of the normal. Then about 4 months ago my fire alarm went off (just from being overactive, nothing serious). She went completely ballistic! She was thrashing around her viv. So i moved her viv out of the lounge...

Does anyone else have a psycho Duprasi? My girl was a total dream then she hit about 6 months and has lost the plot! I heard they could turn nasty but i've never seen anything like it! I'll try and get a video tomorrow to show her madness. She will actually hang off the mesh at the top of the...

So, my Striped Corn, Irwin, decided to constrict his prey so aggressively that he threw himself, and the mouse, out of the feeding tub and onto the floor! Crazy stuff! SAM_0068 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Hi guys, What's your opinion on letting an aggressive snake bite you (size and species dependent of course)? I've seen people advise this for breaking the fear cycle of keepers who become nervous of one of their snakes. I have an aggressive adult corn that strikes, rattles, shrugs etc., and...

Basically, I have had my White Spotted Gecko for about a month and a half and I know need to change his substrate and give the viv a general clean. However, I was wondering how it would be best to transfer him into another "holding" container while the cleaning is being carried out as the type...

Hi, I recently aquired a royal python, already having 4, i accepted this one expecting it to be placid like my others. I dont think he has been handled much in the past and has a good few scars which look like burns to me. He is currently housed in a 3ft viv but whenever i open the glass to the...

i have just put some crickets in my sand fish cage and one went twoards the cricket and then cornered it so the cricket was stuck. the cricket then turned around so its butt was facing the lizard and then every time the lizard went near it the cricket tried to stab at it with its two back points...

Hi guys, I picked up an unwanted corn snake from a guy who was desperate to get rid of it two weeks ago today. I've attempted to handle him for the first time and as soon as I touched him he went into a defensive posture, and struck like lightning (I jumped out of my skin :lol2:) Although...

hi, back last month we had a visitor and while i wasnt in same room she opened its cage and pulled his plants about to get to him needless to say he was very stressed by this. before this happened we had just about managed to tame him to the point he was hand feeding. now i cant even go in his...

My Royal is about 280g now and has always eaten like a monster, but only when he could smell food would he seem interested. I bought him at 160g and he was eating med mice, but after about a month I moved him up to large. I feed one mouse every 7 days which he always strikes and swallows very...

Hey everyone! I got given this curious creature as a rescue because her owner didn't want her. He didnt tell me where she was from or how he came to own her, and told me she was a gargoyle gecko which clearly she is not! She is very fast, very aggressive and when I have caught her to handle...

I just just thought I'd share a pic of my baby with you :) A lot of people arn't into hybrids but when their this pretty how can you not love him!! Thanks for looking :)

right, everyone i'm sure knows that some snakes have bad reputations compared to others, in terms of "aggression," etc. but from my own experiences plus what i've read on here and elsewhere, and just heard people say...so many of these reputations are wholly undeserved!! a few i am aware of...
