In this hobby a lot of questions come about that pertain to what we do. Some questions are very wild, while others are a bit more reasonable. Here we will answer these questions.

A: No. In fact, no snakes are poisonous. Some snakes produce venom, and this venom is injected directly into the blood. We currently, and never plan on, keeping venomous reptiles.

A: Most species of snakes in this hobby feed mainly on rodents. That being said, there are many species that eat more than rodents. This includes fish, lizards, other snakes, and even insects.

A: Yes, most species have the ability to "see". A lot of species do not see how humans see, they detect heat with heat pits that are located on the tip of their heads. Arboreal species are known to have excellent vision that picks up the slightest movement, very useful while hidden up in the tree branches.

A: Keeping multiple snakes together, even of the same species, is highly frowned upon. Many horrific stories have came about from housing snakes within the same enclosure. Cannibalism is something that happens in the wild all the time, and in captivity we want to minimize as much of that risk, if not all. Spreading disease and sickness is also something that can be very detrimental to ones collection, and housing multimple snakes together will highly increase the chance of BOTH snakes getting sick.

A: In captivity some snakes are known to live over 30 years, but range from just a few, to over 40.

A: As a snake eats food, it uses the food to grow. As the snakes grow, they slough off their old skin, revealing a brand new layer of skin underneath. Small scars and wounds can even disappear over time as the snakes grows and continues to shed off layers of old skin. While babies shed more often that adults, many issues from parasites, scarring and even environmental issues can cause excess sheding.
