Boa Constrictor (Red Tailed)

Boa constrictor is a species of snake, a boa found in Central America, South America and some islands in the Caribbean. A staple of private collections and public displays, its color pattern is highly variable and it may grow to become quite large. Though all boids are constrictors, only this species is properly referred to as "boa constrictor"; a rare instance of an animal having the same common and scientific binomial name.

All subspecies are referred to as "boa constrictors," while the nominate subspecies, B. c. constrictor, is often referred to specifically as the "red-tailed boa." This species does well in captivity, usually becoming quite tame. It is a common sight in zoos. When bred in zoos, they are fed mice, rats, and chicks. Captive longevity is 20 to 30 years, with rare accounts of over 40 years, making them a long-term commitment as a pet. Proper animal husbandry is the most significant factor in captive life span. Though still exported from their native South America in significant numbers, it is widely bred in captivity.

Other types Available: Hypomelanistic Red Tail Boa, Albino & Colombian Rainbow.

Corn Snake

The corn snake (Elaphe guttata), or red rat snake, is a North American species of rat snake that subdue their small prey with constriction.[1] The name "corn snake" comes from the fact that they have a maize-like pattern on their bellies and because they were found in corn fields. The Oxford English Dictionary cites this usage as far back as 1676. Corn snakes are found throughout the south-eastern and central United States. Their docile nature, reluctance to bite, moderate adult size 1.2 to 1.8 metres (3.9 to 5.9 ft), attractive pattern, and comparatively simple care make them popular pet snakes. In the wild, they usually live around 15–20 years, but may live as long as 23 years in captivity.

Other Types Available: Albino, Hypo Blood, Java, Blood & Striped Motley.

King Snake

King snakes are a type of colubrid snake that are members of the Lampropeltis genus, which also includes the milk snake.

Lampropeltis means "shiny shield" (from Greek λ?αaμπpρ?ο?ς?, "shine" + πpεeλ?τtαa, "small shield"), due to their dorsal scales. The majority of king snakes have quite vibrant patterns on their skin. King snakes use constriction to kill their prey and tend to be opportunistic when it comes to their diet; they will eat other snakes (ophiophagy), including venomous snakes, lizards, rodents, birds, and eggs. The Common King snakes genus are known to be immune to the venom of other snakes and are known to eat rattlesnakes. The "king" in their name (as with the king cobra) is a reference to their taste for other snakes. King snakes are not necessarily immune to the venom of snakes from different localities.

King snakes are commonly kept as pets, due to their ease of care. King snakes are overall hardy and simple to care for. Their captive diet usually consists of appropriately sized rodents, pre killed. Giving live rodents is an illegal offense in some countries and may bad for the snakes health, as the rodents are high in fat.

King Snake (Black)

Lampropeltis getula is a harmless colubrid species found in the United States and Mexico. A distinct color pattern and the common belief that this species actively hunts for venomous snakes helps to protect them from immediate death, which is the usual outcome when snakes encounter people. It is a long favorite among collectors. Adult specimens are 39-78 inches (98.5-197 cm) in length. Specimens up to 82 inches (208.2cm) have been recorded.

The color pattern consists of a glossy black, blue-black or dark brown ground color overlaid with a series of 23-52 white chain-like rings. King snakes from the Coastal Plain have wider bands, while those found in mountainous areas have thinner bands or may be completely black.

King Snake (California)

The California King snake (Lampropeltis getula californiae) is a non-venomous colubrid snake found in the western United States and northern Mexico. It is a subspecies of the Common King snake and is naturally found in a wide variety of habitats. One of the most popular snakes in captivity, the California King snake can vary widely in appearance due to numerous naturally occurring and captive-developed color morphs.

California King snakes are most commonly patterned in bold black and white bands or stripes, with smooth, non-keeled scales and a relatively cylindrical body. They average three to four and a half feet (1 - 1.4m) in length as adults, but can sometimes attain lengths of five feet or more, depending on the population. The ventral scales may be patterned or solid-colored. They get about 5 inches around. The longest recorded was around 9 feet.

Python (Burmese)

The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus), is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the 6 largest snakes in the world, native to rain forest areas of Southeast Asia. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees.

The Burmese python is one of the largest snakes, on average growing up to 5.5 metres (18 ft) and weighing up to 71 kilograms (160 lb). It continues to grow throughout life and the great length is due to the presence of a large number of vertebrae. Females are typically larger than males.

A Burmese Python at Serpent Safari Park in Gurnee, Illinois, USA was billed as the heaviest living snake in captivity. In 2005, it weighed 183 kilograms (403 lb) at a length of 8.2 metres (27 ft). The snake was named Baby.

Burmese Pythons are light coloured snakes with many brown blotches bordered in black down the back. The perceived attractiveness of their skin pattern contributes to their popularity with both reptile keepers and the leather industry. The pattern is similar in colour, but different in actual pattern to the African Rock Python (Python sebae), sometimes resulting in confusion of the two species outside of their natural habitats. Some of them are found on the border with India and Myanmar.

Burmese Pythons are often sold as pets, and are made popular by their attractive colour and apparently easy-going nature. However, these animals have a rapid growth rate, and will often exceed 7 feet in length in a year if cared for and fed properly. By age 4, they will have reached their adult size, though they continue growing very slowly throughout their lives, which may exceed 20 years.

Other types Available: Albino

Sinaloan Milk Snake (Albino)

Common (Very Popular in captivity because of the bright red color and very little black tipping on the scales. One of the brightest Milk Snake Subspecies. Diet: Small Rodents, Birds, Amphibians, Lizards and other Snakes, including Venomous Species.

There are a few new Sinaloan Morphs which appeal to collectors and beginners alike. The splotched sinaloan is one of the most beautiful snakes on the planet. One of the most collected Subspecies of Milk Snake.

Other types Available: Hetro Honduraan & Tangerine.
