    Can Snakes Sun Burn?

    I was thinking ahead to the summer and taking Kiara to the beach possibly. Will she get burned in direct sun? I assume slithering in the sand is out...

    Kiara's Growth

    I know I havnt posted in a while, but It's been a bit over a year since I got Kiara (Amel from East Bay Vivarium in CA) I thought I'd share her development =) This is when she was tiny! Only 13grams!! And she hadnt started to develop her adult coloring yet! This pic is from the middle-ish...

    Question about Moving Snakes

    I have one snake and she is in a 10gal tank right now. I will be moving from Berkeley CA to Los Angeles CA in about 9 months, I was just curious about how one goes about moving a snake. I'm going to be driving, it's about a 7 hour drive. :shrugs:

    Mice VS Rats?

    I was just wondering if it is a good idea to feed my snake rats rather than mice. She is probably old enough to eat rat fuzzies or pups now, but I dont know if it is a good idea to switch to rats at all. Is there any benefit to it? :shrugs:

    Over Weight Corns

    I was just wondering what it looks like when a snake is over weight, underweight and normal. Just so that I know how to judge if my snake is ever any of the two bad ones. Though I'm following Dean's feeding schedule but I worry about individual differences and accidentally feeding her too much...

    Bay Area California-F/T

    I was wondering if anyone in the Bay Area gets their F/T online cheaply. I only have one corn snake who is quickly growing and is currently eating 2 F/T pinks. But the East Bay Vivarium (where I am getting her frozen food now) only has around 3g pinks then jumps to hoppers/weanlings which are...

    Amelanism+?

    So I didnt realize how many fun morphs come out of one Amelanistic corn and another type! The FAQ was really helpful! My question was, what do people think is the best morph you can get out of having an Amelanistic female and not having bought the male yet? I still have quite a while until...

    First F/T!

    Kiara just ate her first F/T pinky! She didnt even hesitate once she sensed it's heat she downed it really fast. She will be at least 16g by next feeding so I was thinking to start giving her two at a time. Considering her lack of skill at wrangling live pinkys, I'm glad she's taken so well...

    Er..I think my snake may be a bit slow...

    So Kiara has been eating live pinks. But I am switching to F/T since this last feeding. It's not like a pinky attacked her or anything. But I think she is a bit lacking in the instinct department. She has been eating them alive (not constricting-which I heard was normal since there is no...

    Placement of Humidity Gage?

    Where do i put my humidity gage? I put it on the center upper part of the back of my terrarium. The light is on top of the terrarium to the left of the gage and the large water bowl is to the right of it on the floor. Is this ok? I also wanted to make sure that the right humidity is between...

    My (sorta) Confusion about what Kiara is...

    :wavey: This may seem like a weird question(s) but let me start... So the vivarium said that she was an amelanistic corn snake. Now I'm learning that amelanistic just means missing black pigment. Does that mean she is some other color type and amelanistic OR is there a "classic" amelanistic...

    Custom Silk Plants

    I found this guy who custom makes silk plants for Terrarium and Aquarium use! They are really pretty and can get them in any size and in really realistic designs. I really like them and will probably be getting one for Kiara to slither around in. What do people think of decor for your...

    Terrarium Moss

    Terrarium Moss I heard was good for adding moisture to the tank. I had a bunch of questions since I was not aware that it was important to mist the tank or have moss or anything like that, I just have her water bowl which some people say is generally enough? I want Kiara to be as happy as...

    X.X--> What does it mean?

    What does it mean when people say they have 0.1 corn snakes etc? How can you have 1/10th of a corn snake? I'm sure this isnt what it means but I'd really like to know what it means... Thanks! Newbie N.T.
