I can answer specific questions about colubrid snakes (kingsnakes, milksnakes, corn snakes, and Eastern Indigos). I can also answer general question regarding husbandry (feeding, shedding, housing) for most other types of snakes. <p> I am not an expert in boas or ball pythons so you might consider asking one of the other experts specific questions about these. </p><p> **Be sure to read my past answers as you may find your answer there. I receive many of the same questions from different users.** </p> | |
