Digital Scales

Firstly, apologies for the lack of updates of late. I do have a few bits and pieces to share, but nothing really that interesting, so I'll save those for another day, but I do have some updates on other areas of development here.

As we get closer and closer to the latter stages of breeding season, and everything at this point looking promising, I've started giving some thought to how best to list and advertise what could potentially be up to 70 hungry little mouths, once all are feeding reliably and looking for new homes. I'm a very active member on a reptile keepers forum which has a good classifieds section for listing snakes, but, it's a very busy section so threads drop off the bottom of the page in a matter of hours, so whilst I will advertise there, I'd rather have something a little more stable and permanent. There's always the likes of Gumtree and Preloved, but again, not exactly stable, and I'm not sure I really want to be listing my animals on "general goods" websites. So, with a little help and encouragement from a good friend and fellow snake keeper, I set about knocking up a basic website.

It's work in progress, but the bare bones of it are just about in place now - this will get fleshed out more as we move further through breeding season, but you can see the site here. As well as having a section on there that I can control directly for available hatchlings as and when they become available, I've started copying over a lot of my blogs and topics from here into a dedicated section. Over time, the topics section of the site will form a pretty comprehensive care sheet, which I can categorise and arrange into some sort of order a little better than I can here, and of course the blog will keep people updated with news of my breeding season. I'm going to keep this blog going too which will run hand-in-hand with the website, as it generates quite a lot of Google traffic, and also I quite like the informal environment of this blog.

There is also the addition of a Facebook Page which will run alongside the website, which will also be used for listing available hatchlings as and when, but mostly its just for sharing photos and updates from the snake room amongst my reptile keeping friends and acquaintances, and a way for people to keep in touch with me - so please stop by and say hello!

Well that's all for now, but I'll be back shortly with a little update on the season and a fresh housing topic, so check back soon.
