Certainly looks like some kind of Philothamnus or close relative. Which part of the Congo?

Yeah there's been a few interesting snakes popping up around here, it's a very unique biome and the stuff up here isn't found in a lot of other places. Been finding a lot of puff adders (monsters!) and plenty of Echis as well. Hopefully in the next week or two I may have something very interesting t...

Picked up two of these Prosymna ruspolii Prince Ruspoli's shovel snouts over the weekend. I only took images of the first one, interesting how much solid black there is over the head and neck, the other had a much shorter band of black ending just a few ventral scales from the neck. Very innofensive...

News24 Correspondent Chipinge - The mother of a Zimbabwean boy who died after being bitten by a poisonous black mamba on his way home from school says health officials did not give him anti-venom, a newspaper reported on Friday.

If you click on gallery tab you will see a side tab on upload file. you resize your picture and upload it there and then copy the link once it is done to post it in this thread. It will also help if you tell us where the tortoise came from to narrow down a species.

No worries. I'd happily help you out, but i've stopped supplying piglets as the demand just didn't warrant the time involved.

You get piglets occasionaly as small as 250g (smaller than a large rat) and upwards to nearly 3kg. I know several guys who have used piglets for everything from medium pythons to large cobras and even mambas.

Try frozen piglets instead.

Due to other commitments I will not be supplying again after I have got rid of the stock I currently have. If there is a member on the forum that wants to take over this contact and supply frozen piglets, send me a PM and we can discuss it. The supplier is in Randfontein, I currently supply mostly G...

My first thought would be commercial fisheries (Hartebesstpoort Fisheries maybe?) or some chemical supply companies.

Eish... Ok first of all, you can find plenty info on tortoise diets by using the search function on the forum, several members including myself have posted the info at various times. DO NOT GIVE TORTOISES TOMATO! Yes they like it, but in large amounts the acid is bad for them. They will graze on sev...
