Yeah thank you! I am really anxious to get them all eating consistently so I can start doing some behavior tests and notes and things like that.

Thank you for watching! My dream is to have a room+ sized enclosure where one can just observe how they disperse naturally after birth.

Thank you 🙏

Want one?

@@LetsTalkHerps i think three cats and two dogs is enough!

About 5’6” I’d say.

Some of Dave’s stuff is totally insane. So good looking.

They’re good! These babies just started coming out of the eggs yesterday for Paul

It’s been completely manageable for me. A lot of people in the reptile community SAY things but not a lot of people DO things. As a result a lot of small issues become conflated with disastrous issues, which isn’t really the case. Yes, a big snake’s waste will accumulate quickly and can cause an odor if the clean up crew is unable to handle it, but each species is different and I’ve seen 150 lb retics kept in large bioactive enclosures with large waste removed but many droppings just taken care of by a dynamic clean up crew. Like all things, a little research goes a long way.

I find lizard poop to be particularly stanky.

Good thoughts. But the denatured proteins are digested differently. In some cases it actually makes the nutrition more biologically available and EASIER to digest. However there are some serious concerns. The first is bacteria. Unless you get the whole prey up to 165+ for sustained temps, the in tact digestive system is loaded with harmful bacteria that in normal amounts your snake can easily handle, but can proliferate in heat and also in the cooked prey. I couldn’t find any studies on any negative effects cooked prey has for the snake upon consuming. However, I’ve found plenty of anecdotes of keepers who let the prey get too hot and the snakes refused it, likely due to a change in smell which would be very noticeable to a very scent-sensitive animal like a rainbow boa. So I’m not sure if Dave said they can’t digest it, if he did I’m sure that was an assumption based on the fact that the snake won’t eat it. Ultimately there’s possibly no real science to prove either way because I couldn’t find any research on it. If it’s something you’re considering, speak to a vet first. Personally I don’t see the point, they certainly never get the chance for cooked prey in the wild.

⁠@@LetsTalkHerps great answer, and reminding me of the salient points, including interaction of bacteria.

​@LetsTalkHerps If nothing else, I find there is the unmistakable scent of decomposition if they are left un-eaten overnight and a little "over cooked." I have no doubt they can smell it sooner than me.

Same! 😬

Lol. So sensitive 🥰

They Have to be. Snakes cant hear, they quite literally “Sense” the world Around them.

I love him.

Thanks for watching!

Bro you have no idea what that bottom portion of the bin is like. They’re wet. The humid hide he’s in is wet. Thanks for looking out though.

@@LetsTalkHerps Its never too wet is my point. Not for these guys.

@@captainnitro4459that’s the truth. It’s just not what’s going on here. Perhaps it just doesn’t show up via cell phone video but if you saw the tub you wouldn’t think it was dry. I’m always learning but also fairly familiar with this species. You can check my channel for lots of rainbow boa content.

I like this channel, well informed, entertaining.😊

Me too 😆 thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching! He’s done an amazing job with his reptiles.

It was a fun conversation. Thanks for tuning in!

Too funny 😂 I’d like to. Check out Lori Torinni’s Patreon group. Paul posts there all the time.

I’m going up to Seattle in mid Sept and I cannot WAIT to visit Paul and see his scrubs and BABIES!!! 😍🐍

@@trasijudd2290jelly. I hope there are a dozen little scrubbers waiting for you there.

Me too!

That’s a much better idea! Lol. I just got an even bigger water dish too so siphon may be the way to go. Thanks!

Sometimes! I try and stay with tough species of plants. But once the roots are down for a few months, the snakes tend to know where they are and burrow around or elsewhere. But you have to be comfortable with some plant loss as well as propagating your overgrowth too.

Thank you! She’s great

Gracias

Like looking in a mirror, huh?

Looking forward to watching her grow up big and strong

Haven’t read those books but I liked them in the movie too!

Hey thanks for sharing. How long did this snake live? I worry about the metabolic strain that places on an animal.

Thanks for watching.

Yeah man. I think sometime in the last decade they lowered the wattage to make an almost usable product.

Thanks for watching!

They sell em right next to the colored bulbs!

Agree 100%

Thanks for watching!

Yes. You should check the link in the description or find the issue in the Reptile Lighting Facebook group.

Too bad it wouldn't accept my webcam. I look so much better in HD! Ha! Thanks for tuning in.

Or she

This was just a spider at an expo. Not one of my own. I wish it was!

I wish I knew sorry. Some kind of Gasteria I believe

Gracias por ver

lol. Thank you for watching

Listen… compared to my first tank, 6 sides is a big improvement.

@@LetsTalkHerps LOL agreed! mine too.

Thanks for watching. I get $.00024 every time you drink Le Croix
