I have an eighteen month old cornsnake that sheds evey 5-8 weeks. The weekend before the "The Fourth" I skipped feeding because I noticed it had been in shed. Monday morning there was a perfect shed in the enclosure. I had the snake out yesterday during some housekeeping and thought it looked...

I have probably checked out hundreds if, not thousands of corn snake photos online and seen around 30-40 corn snakes at different pet stores/breeders and noticed I haven't seen too many corns with spotted saddles. Is it common? Here are a couple pictures of my corn that has them. It...

First, thanks to all the contributions to my recent flurry of posts. The more I read and learn, the more interested I become. One of my two Corn Snakes has developed a noticeable thick to thin tail in the past few weeks. I fed it two pinkies the last three feedings. It was eating once every...

I decided to post this after commenting on it on my thread asking about identifying Okeetees. This Corn snake really appeals to me and is advertised as an Amel Stripe. But, of all the pictures I've seen, it has the most yellow of any pictures I've come across. I thought it was some sort of...

I've been checking out local pet stores for corn snakes since getting my first two about a month ago. Looking at the different types is educational and leading me to wanting a more mature snake that is distinctive in appearance. There are so many, it's tough to choose. I really like the lavender...

So after buying two Corn Snakes and setting them up in the sane tank because that's what was recommended to me by the numerous pet stores I shopped at, I finally set up a divided enclosure. I started with a 29 gallon tank and using some 3/16" PVC, I made a tight fitting divider that hooks onto...

I located some great vines and cut some lengths to go in my newly split enclosure set up. These are from NH and we're living (well dormant because it is winter). They are tightly twisted pairs and 3/4"-1" in diameter. I've had them in the oven for 2 hours at 350f. A lot of sap has come out. I'll...

I am a recent Corn Snake owner (two of them, an Amel and a Normal) and like most people newly into a hobby, have been doing as much reading as I can on the history and care of Corn Snakes. So, this leads me to my post. I thought I did enough research to get started, I stopped at many local pet...

Laying out my plans for a DIY Viv and hoping to construct my own heating panels using Exo Terra Heat Cables. The current plan is to drop the cable into an aluminum plate that has a channel sized for the wire and the back side will be Delrin. The delrin will insulate the wood side (Viv) and the...

Ive had my amel corn for two weeks now. I've fed it twice, most recently on Sunday (it ate two pinkies) and then it hung out in its hide until yesterday (wed) when I checked on it. I weighed it (15 grams) and put it back in the viv. I added some fake plants for ground cover and that's when I...
