Sir Burr Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hmmmm.....no such thing as a harmless snake. They all bite, unless you take out their fangs, which is cruel. Why not go with a hamster, or, a guinea-pig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you ask some of your neighbours to catch one for you? There must be snakes everywhere in Koh Yao. Failing that, I'd try asking at one of the snake shows in Phuket or Ao Nang. They mostly keep venomous snakes, but they get them all through their local contacts, so they may be able to find you a harmless green grass snake, or something of that nature.

freefunk Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi, Bought a reticulated Python from CHatucah market and brought her down south with me in the train now worries. REtics might to big for your young one to start of with, A ball Python should be the best. Chatuchak section d has a few good reptile shops, try them out. On that note does any body knoew the legislation on import and export permits for snakes as I wantr to start breeding, Lex is just over 1o fot know so she is ready for some company. Thanks you guys eug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Seonai ... did you find your snake? If not I'll head to JJ next weekend and take a look (I actually think they do pet animal marke day on Wed too ... but not sure) and have a look .... I probably CAN find an iguana in Phuket but since I want one that is a little used to being handled ... I was gonna look up here first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi, I live between UK and Thailand and have been a reptile trader/breeder for the last 20 years. Chatuchak is about the only place to find a wide selection of snakes. I would suggest also a Ball Python (Python Regius) if it is a boid (boa/python) that you want. Rarely do they bite or exceed 5 feet in length. Retics are my speciality and I have the first clutch of Albino Retics now hatching ever in the UK! They are hugely aggressive snakes, very large and have the potential to kill a man. PS - To the other poster - how old is your Retic? Usually they will not breed until after their fourth winter although my Kayuadi Dwarf retics bred in their third year. Also to the same guy - no import or export of live snakes allowed for the forseeable future. Plenty of US colubrids are available in Chatuchak but these are usually smuggled in. I would seriously not be keeping a Burmese Python or Retic in Thailand unless you have permission to do so, as this is a definite no no here. I had a pair of Albino Burmese, 1 Male Granite Burmese and a Leopard Burmese Female (ALL CAPTIVE BRED COLOUR FORMS) and they still brought the hammer down on me even in my remote village in Buriram! www.viperandvine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freefunk Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Lex, my feamle retic is headng for one year now and is just touching 6 foot. She was a bit agressive when I just got her, but she is so chilled now. She has never bitten me So for all has ben well, almost the whole comunity knows about her and comes to vissit her often. I try and do some education on the locals as Retics are becomming less in Thailand. So far Karma has trwated us well. I might be relocating to Bali soon and this could opposze some promblems. Anu suggestions? eug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
