Macklot’s Python Update: Shran
Welcome to this update about our Macklot's Python (Liasis mackloti), Shran. Today is October 20, 2024 and Shran has been with us now for over a year. He arrived on July 12, 2023 and I feel that I have now had time to evaluate him to a point where I can answer some of the questions about what I think of this species., of course based on just one animal. I love him! He is active, intelligent, easy to manage and handle, and has been a joy to develop a relationship with over the past year. Shran burrows part of the time but also spends a lot of time climbing and is so active he really needed a much larger enclosure than the 4x2x2 he started out in. I just moved him into a 4x2x4 which will double his space. He had his annual veterinary exam this month and got a clean bill of health, just as he did a year ago during his intake exam.
Shran is cared for at Behavior Education using cooperative care techniques, choice-based interactions, and low-stress management. For more about how to provide your animal with a choice-rich life visit www.BehaviorEducation.org or check out additional learning opportunities on my educational Patreon platform at www.Patreon.com/BehaviorEducation
Shran was produced by Sonja Koolmo of Sonja K. Reptiles, hatched on 23rd May 2021 www.morphmarket.com/stores/sonjakreptiles/

Filmed on September 27, 2024 at 0200 hrs US MT (Denver). Just a quick check of Mobius to assess his behavior, body condition, and weight. I do this maybe every 3-4 months when they’re young.

If the snake does not remain in the green - yellow behavior zones and starts to go over threshold...

Several people have asked me lately why their Python regius doesn't seem to be catching on to target training or why they are progressing so slowly, well . . . not all snakes are motivated to the same extent to work for food and the natural biology and natural history of Royal Pythons may play a role in why they seem to be less inclined to perform...

Royals at the Ranch: Update Enclosure Use Study
A blood python in your program would be very interesting.
@@PythonDepartment-ek5lz Yes. I agree and over the years haven’t had any breeders follow through with donating one for evaluation. I had talked to some who seemed interested and they never followed through.
You should do a live stream soon if you can! Like an ask me anything type stream. I’d love to pick you brain about ball pythons
@@Peeingstickymilk I usually do a livestream on New Year’s Eve every year.
Hi Lori, thank you for this video. It was very helpful. I have a question about something you have in the enclosure behind you in the video. It's the green dome shape toy with the hexagon shape cut outs in it. I've looked at pet stores and online. I'm thinking that maybe I'm searching the incorrect name for it? Could you tell me where I can find one? Thank you!
The roller ball? It s the JW Hol-lee roller ball. It comes in different sizes and that one behind me is jumbo they also come in various colors www.chewy.com/jw-pet-hol-ee-roller-dog-toy/dp/38460?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADmQ2V3sIfvbCkls8K70yNuLhRCIi&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoae5BhCNARIsADVLzZdE0M3Zhlt1PMJGRZNPEfjAxL87oWQF68VhsmW-Bjlt8dqCXc3JcqwaAj08EALw_wcB. It is rubber but you can get ones made specifically for snakes that are solid from Exotic Enrichment on Etsy. www.etsy.com/listing/1564255546/party-python-playground-mini-snake?gpla=1&gao=1&&Cj0KCQiAoae5BhCNARIsADVLzZf3aq8KQTnHgfyO1z5CzkT-l7etnYcQ6L-8wH8UmEL4Ilbe5bJga_YaAmHbEALw_wcB_k_&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRI8TchEDQyPQ7VmVcwPSxiI5&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoae5BhCNARIsADVLzZf3aq8KQTnHgfyO1z5CzkT-l7etnYcQ6L-8wH8UmEL4Ilbe5bJga_YaAmHbEALw_wcB.

Great video, I have had my beardie for 3 months (she’s 6 months old) and I am a first reptile owner. I have her currently in a 40 gallon but am upgrading her to a 4x2x2 early next year and was thinking of doing bioactive but this seems expensive and definitely needs to be researched on. I think you mentioning that’s it’s about progress is amazing. I’m definitely not ready for bioactive but definitely will do it down the line when I become more advanced and do more research
Thank you for taking the time to document and share this.
Poor Hank 🥹
I hated doing inter muscular injections which I had to carry out on my corn snake this year. Possibly bothered me more than the snake.
Gorgeous!
Nice!
I can tell this is what Lori listens to to stay awake in the early hours 😮😂😂
When we got something like this for our sprocker spaniel she would mostly just bark at it, like it was voice activated 🙈
No mess on the carpet 😅 phew
Didn’t realise how many videos I had missed from years back 😁
Well said, as always. :)
Super cool Lori, thanks for sharing.
Nice set up and great vids. Where did you purchase the sky hide and its ceiling mount from? I cant find them anywhere, thanks
@@jackrichardson6902 The black sky hides that slide into place? The hides are standard 9x13 black plastic hides that you can get from Pangea or Reptiles Basics etc. The holders you can also get from Reptile Basics or from The Reptile Perch company.
Who else loves snakes 🐍
I really wnjoy your videos. I have been obsessing over them lately. I want to let my animals be as free as possible, so I like your choice based methods. I also like that I have the same snakes you have, so you give information that I specifically use. I would love more info on your Papuan Carpet Pythons, and your Brazilian rainbow boas and what you find that yours likes as far as training and husbandry.
Thank you, Lori! We appreciate your knowledge!
Hi, I've been doing this with enrofloxacin and using fuzzy mice. Can you tell me what dosage you're giving orally?
@@babyyoda2219 You should be administering it as directed by your veterinarian in the dosage they prescribed.
