Pumping out the orders lately guys! Remember to flick me a message when you need to feed your scaley mates!

I am selling out of stock pretty quick lately but constantly refilling & I’m always happy to take orders. 🙂

I’m getting back into the snake game now too, picked these guys up over the past week.

Thinking of doing a free delivery run roughly once per month to 6 weeks in the near future on orders $50+ for areas between Glass House Mountains & Coolum Beach.

I’d obviously need to make sure there’s enough interest to make it worth doing the trip so just trying to get a gauge on who would be keen in a service such as this?

Another rack built, 1 more to go which will bring my total number of breeding tubs to approx. 70.

Don’t forget to flick me a message if your chasing any rats for your snakes, advance orders work best so I can put them together for you!

Still pumping through the numbers and orders, thanks for your support everyone. 🙂

FYI all, whilst the page may be quiet I’m certainly still producing rats!

Just picked up 2 additional racks so that will help with production and backlog.

Continue to message me as you need rats & I’ll be happy to assist. 🙂

Thanks all.

New Snake not eating? See some tips below to help!

- How long have you had the snake for?; If you’ve only just gotten it then it’s best to allow some time for it to settle in! Give it a week or so in a quiet area of the house & leave it be (that means no handling! As hard as that might be).

- Enclosure; If it’s a smaller/baby snake ensure you have a small enclosure initially, i.e. a sistema tub with holes in it (or similar). Large enclosures are big and can be quite daunting to a little snake that’s instincts tell it to hide from larger animals.

- Security; ensure that your new snake has a hide or a place where it can go to feel safe & secure.

- Heating; ensure that your temperatures are suitable, that you have an end that is cool & an end that is warm - aim to keep temperatures at around 32-34 degrees celcius at the warm end of the tub or enclosure.

- Feed type & size; make sure you query the breeder you purchased the snake from on what type of food it was eating before you got it & how many feeds it has had (so you know your not getting a troublesome feeder from the beginning). When looking at the sizing, a good guide is generally a prey item about 1.5-2 times the thickest part of your snake.

- Preparation of prey; you need to warm prey items as snakes can sense the heat & generally won’t be interested if the prey isn’t at the right temperature or there’s no scent (brought on by warmth) - a process I used was to leave the food out to thaw then once thawed place it into a tub of warm water until it’s warm to touch.

- Feeding time; something that may also help is to feed when it’s dark.. this is when snakes are usually hunting for prey & it may help give your tricky feeder a kick start!

- Teasing; this is an action to encourage the snake to strike, by constantly hassling the snake by bumping the feed item around the head area & just below, you can coax it into striking if you persist, when it strikes & latches on to the prey item, don’t move AT ALL & give the snake time to attempt to begin eating.

- Braining; this may sound a little gruesome but it can be quite effective. Gently squeeze & crush the head of the feed item to the point that fluid/brain matter begins to come out of the nose/mouth etc. This produces a scent that can make some snakes go wild & produce a great feeding response.

If all else fails, contact the breeder you purchased the snake from & ask for advice which could include taking it back so they can help you get it back into feeding correctly.

Hi all,

I’m a small breeder of rats which are used for snake food.

I do it as a hobby & enjoy it as it keeps me busy at home.

My rats are humanely culled, fed on an appropriate diet & are substantially cheaper than the majority of other breeders AND pet stores.

Also note, when I cull.. I ensure my sizes are above the minimum weights listed so you get the best value possible!

I am growing my production in the near future but generally keep a decent level of stock the majority of the time.

Location & pick up is in the Glass House Mountains.

Price list attached below:

* Pinky (3-8g) $1.00 each - $10 per 10pk

* Fuzzy (9-20g) $2 each - $20 per 10pk

* Hopper (21-30g) $2.50 each- $25 per 10pk

* Weaner (31-45g) $3 each - $30 per 10pk

* Small (46-79g) $4 each - $40 per 10pk

* Medium (80-149g) $5.00 each - $20 per 4pk / $40 per 8pk

* Large (180g-250g) $7.50 each - $15 per 2pk / $30 per 4pk

* XL (250g+) $8.50 each - $17 per 2pk / $34 per 4pk

Please message in advance to order, note that if I don’t have the stock available I can advise an ETA & take orders.
