    Heater Help and Recommendations!

    I've kind of had it with stick-on UTH's. My most recent one is burningly hot. I'm using it for 10 mins on/50 mins off so I don't burn my snake and/or crack the glass until I get something new. My snake will be 21 years old this year and I go through at least 2 heaters a year for him. What do...

    "Cooked" mouse?

    I'm afraid I over-warmed my snake's mouse. It wasn't too hot when I fed it, but when my snake struck it, the mouse kinda fell apart. Not to be graphic, but the guts fell out of the mouse. There was no way I was getting that mouse away from the snake so I hope he's going to be okay. I bought...

    Down the Hatch Backwards! Problem?

    My 16 year old snake just consumed his mouse (F/T) breech or tail first. Is this going to be a problem? He's never done this before to my knowledge. Thanks for the help.

    Under-fed 13 year old snake?

    I went to a friend's house the other day and noticed that they had a corn snake. The snake is smallish, around 24" long and thin. My 16 year old snake is probably quadruple this one's size. We got to talking and come to find out their snake is only being offered one fuzzy every 4-5 days. I...

    Upper age limit for breeding?

    What is the oldest you would breed a corn male and female? Does a male's sperm's viability go down with advancing age? Also, do snakes pass on personality characteristics of the parents?

    Feeding Questions

    My corn is a probable male, about 14 years old and he weighs over 700 grams. Is he considered a large corn snake or average? I feed him a large f/t mouse about every 7-10 days. Around the 7 day mark, he starts begging for the next meal. Am I over/under feeding him? I used to feed him...

    Finally ate! (fingers crossed)

    My 14 year old, 700 gram adult male corn finally, FINALLY ate after nearly 3 months. I'm so relieved but also a bit nervous about a regurge. He shed twice during his hunger strike because he banged up his head trying to escape in the search for love. Sleenkie was eating small-medium rats...

    How do you prep your f/t food?

    I've always taken my F/T food out of the freezer and thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before warming it up to feed. I don't know why, but I thought that the mouse had to remain dry--so I have gone through very careful measures to keep the mouse perfectly dry. I've even gone so far as to...

    Corn snake refusing to eat

    Hello, I have a 14 year old, seemingly healthy corn snake that has now refused two meals in a row. I'm unsure of what to do. "She" is active and cruising all over her cage, but isn't eating. I assigned her a gender. I have no idea how to tell one sex from the other... She is about 5'5" long...
