I just got a baby tessera corn snake. The reptile store I got it from told me I could just feed it in its enclosure. I’ve done plenty of research and was told that it would be a bad habit as to it would strike my hands anytime I’d reach into it mistaking it for prey. Would you recommend feeding in a separate tank?
We feed everything in their cages and tap train when cleaning or interacting. So you just alert to snake to your presence with a hookstick, etc. Taking a snake out the cage it can also then associate that with food, which can be worse. Then some snakes will do just fine being moved and eating in a certain container, etc. Then some you have to try move back and they want to eat everything, being harder to get out of feeding mode. This can be dangerous with large. Costrictors like retics. I keep over 80 species and feed everything in the cage.
Around 13 albinos and a few hets. The load shedding (power cuts) we having caused many embryos to die. I have many fertile slugs and some still born. Hopefully, I have better luck the next time around as I have backup power now.
Those are beautiful!!!
Those are some incredible snakes
Thanks so much. Yeah, they are awesome.
Now all we need is the Rhino albino.... i would bet they will look awesome also....Lucky you my friend...
Very good. I was excited to watch this all day.
My favorite snake is a gaboon but it is now the albino gaboon beautiful would love to see one full grown you did an awesome job
Glad you enjoyed. Yeah I need to post more and even have the footage but never get around to the editing and posting. All in good time.
What a little beauty!
What my dreams are made of 🤗 those gaboons are smoking
I would love the opportunity buy one. I have a full grown adult male gaboon.
loving looking snakes 🐍
Amazing how fast they strike. Best patterns ever. Very cool snakes. Do you have any adult fangs?
Yeah I have a little jar I keep fangs in. Starting to use some in resin.
Would love to see a leucistic gabby.

I love albinos. I have had albino western diamondback rattlesnake and albino ball python. Maybe one day I could get albino Gaboon
Nice, well some of them are going to the USA soon. I am sure we will product more in future. They worth the wait!
How many have you been able to produce all together since the 1st?

@reptilegarden incredible work. I'm glad to see some finally getting out into the world. Would love to see one in person someday. Absolute beauties.
How do you have so many albino gaboons 🤣
Haha. I had the world's first and currently the only adult breeding project in the world. I didn't have to buy them. Manifestation works 🤣
