keepers

What is your favourite species to keep? Hi everyone, I am just a tad curious as to what is the most popular species to be kept by the members of the Amphibian Section of RFUK. Unfortunately I might not be able to list all of the species you may be interested in so some may contain genus's or...

Hi everyone, I am really curious as to if any members of the Atelopus (Harlequin Toads) genus are actually kept in Captivity? Does anyone actually know of any keepers that keep these species in the UK or is this genus predominantly unheard of in captivity? :hmm: Cheers :2thumb: Josh

Got this through the post today. Really good book from what I have read and loads of information.

The idea of this thread is for people to post a little about the snakes they keep. It is an intended as a basic guide for anyone who is thinking of getting a new (or another) snake but is not sure on what sort of snake they want. If everyone who is confident in their knowledge and care fills...

this has probably been done to death but never mind... quite a few 'newbies' to reptile keeping come to these forums for advice and guidance from those who have experience but all too often they are shot down with sarcastic or unhelpful comments. i find it quite annoying that some (very few)...

Hi everyone, I'm just hoping to get into contact with any other keepers in Nottingham. Thanks, R.

Just an odd thread here, i wanted to see how many people on here keep inverts in ashford kent? As everyone i know dose not understand why i would keep inverts or bugs as they call them as pets.

There's only one place in the USA where it is possible for Burmese Pythons to survive....the Florida Everglades. - I wounder why their pathetic Government insists on banning pythons because they are "a danger to the public" when a good 30% of American reptile keepers keep venomous snakes. Its...

I have been advised by a member of the forum that building a Vivarium for the first snake is a lot cheaper, and I could learn a lot more by doing things that way. He said to get wood cut at B&Q and such, but I was wondering if people have any good vivarium building tips, or walkthroughs on how...

Hi all, As some of you may know, my main interest with reptiles lies with snakes. I am a huge snake fan, and very facinated with DWA Species aswell as the non-venomous species that is out there. The reason for me posting this thread, is that I'd like to keep Gila Monsters in a DWA Collection...

Please could somebody provide me with a caresheet on Kingsnakes? Cheers!

Are these Venomous? And are they common in collections? I've heard that there is another snake that looks just like them.

Does anybody know of any Pet Shops local to Southampton or in the Hampshire area where they have DWA on show or on sale? I'd like to pop into them and have a look at the animals (Through the glass) and ask a few questions to the shop owners. Or also if you know of any reptile shows local to...

Can anybody tell me about the components of it's Venom? How does the Venom affect you? Cheers! James

What snakes do you all recomend for a beginner to gain husbandry experience? I'm hoping for some sort of career in working with venomous reptiles but I need to start from the bottom and work my way up. Cheers!

Does anybody know of any Reptile shops, or Pet Shops which sell reptiles local to Southampton or any reptile shows local to Southampton. Thanks

I have been informed by a Member who has posted on my Thread "Starting a Venomous Snake collection" that people are getting irritated with me? My enthusiasm with these animals gets me carried away and I appologise to everybody who were getting irritated by me.... I am certainly not a "Troll"...

Should Large Constricters be on the DWA List? Please leave you're thoughts and opinions explaining why. Thankyou

I am 16 years of age, lazy and unwilling to work. I am wanting to get into the venomous reptile keeping community but my shoes stink of dog faeces. I live in Southampton and I do not know anybody local to me, or nearby to help mentor me and give me the correct training and experience before I...
