    Price Check?

    I'm looking into possibly selling all my corns to focus on my ball python breeding projects. I've been searching Fauna and looking at Kingsnake.com and I just can't figure out what my corns are worth if/when I decide to sell them. I apologize if this is in the wrong place. 2011 0.1 Snow Motley...

    Anery?

    I bought this boy last August as an Anery Motley het amel. However, as he started growing, I started noticing some color changes that I didn't think Anery's had. Here are some progression pictures. Is this just a normal variation? This is when I first got him. I know, they are horrible pictures...

    Next step after assist feeding...

    Today I had to assist feed a hatchling corn that just wouldn't eat for me. I gave him a fuzzy tail and he ate it like a champ. Now...how often do I offer food assist feed? This is something I've never done before so I'm really unsure of the specifics.

    Attached Umbilical Cord

    So I was out of town this weekend going to the NARBC reptile show. When I came home, the last of my "rescue eggs" had hatched and the baby had about an inch of umbilical cord left attached. I immediately put her in a deli cup with a wet paper towel. These are my first hatchlings and I'm not too...

    Help with some new rescues...

    I got a call from a friend today telling me that someone came into her work (She is a manager at a large pet chain) and said that her daughter abandoned her snakes and needed them gone by today. Since I'm her only friend who loves snakes as much as she does, she gave me a call to see if I would...

    Lidless Hatchling-Safe Commercial Rack

    Does anyone know of a lidless rack system that's hatchling approved? I want one that is commercially made (because I'm not very good at DIY racks) but I also watch it to be essentially escape proof. I'm not really opposed to a rack that requires lids, but it seems like most racks are lidless...

    Hatchling Rack

    I'm going to be breeding one or two of my corn snakes next spring and I've already begun to make preparations. I want to purchase a rack system for housing the babies, but I've noticed that a lot of the rack systems have tiny gaps where a baby can squeeze through. Does anyone know of...

    Christmas Photo Shoot. ****DUW****

    I decided to pull out my 145g bloodred female (Anuna) and my 90g snow motley female (Severus). Through this photoshoot, I determined that I REALLY could use a light tent. This was taken in natural light on my grandmother's dining room table (she was not happy) on a black scrub top (I'm in...

    Feeding question.

    I think this has been pretty debated on other forums, but I'm not sure about on here. I know ball pythons don't get cage aggressive so I feel my ball pythons in their tubs so not to stress them out. They are easily stressed and this is better for them. With my collection growing in size (I'm...

    Anyone in the Houston Area?

    I know this is a cornsnake forum, but I haven't found any help on the ball python forum and I know several of you keep ball pythons too. I have a 400g male that I'm trying to breed this season. I need to check for sperm plugs, but I'm having trouble popping him. He was sold to me as a male and...

    Question about Double Clutching

    I'm not breeding this season, but hopefully I'll be able to cool next winter. That will be my bloodred's third winter and assuming she's up to weight, I'll plan to pair her in the spring 2014 along with possibly two others (both are smaller than her...but growing quickly). I am trying to plan...

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!

    I'm super thrilled! My mother agreed to buy me a hypo lavender for Christmas! I'm pretty sure I know who I'm going to get him from. Now...I just need to make him a spot in my quarantine room!

    Anery Question

    Back in August, I purchased an Anery Motley male at the NARBC in Arlington. I've always been under the impression that anerys are black and grey. However, with each shed, Travis (the snake) seems to be getting more and more "pink" in color where the grey once was. Is this normal for anerys?

    Closed vs. Open Rack

    Currently, I have my corns in a homemade open rack. I do have some ball pythons on the same rack (two different heat sources). When they outgrow their current tubs (I have everyone in a 28qt tub), I'll turn my current rack into one holding 4 41qt tubs and purchase another 28qt rack for the...

    Feeding in Tub vs. Separate Container

    I am in the process of switching my corns into their tubs on my rack. I had to fix the rack because two escaped (they were barely in there for a week). Now that it's back into working order, they will be moving in tonight. I usually feed them in a separate container. Do I need to continue to do...

    Normal vs. Miami Phase

    Does anyone have pictures of a snake around 30g of both a normal and Miami phase snake? I'm just trying to see the subtle differences in the two. I know the normals are more orangy...but can you really see the orange/lack of orange on a snake that small?

    Weight Gain in Yearling Snakes

    I have two corns that are both a little over a year old. One was born July 2011 and the other was born around August 2011 (I got her from a petstore so her birth date is a rough estimate). I got the bloodred (the one born in July 2011) in May and she was about 40g and is now around 60g. I got...

    I've been bit!

    I AM SO EXCITED! Yes, I know I'm a huge dork. But, I've had snakes since August last year and I've never been bitten. Not defensively, not aggressively, not even when feeding! However, yesterday, I fed the little unnamed girl that I picked up from the expo. After, I was scooping her up to put...

    Morph Confirmation?

    I believe this new girl is a Miami phase. She's isn't the prettiest one, but she was 100% free and I could not say no to such a pretty girl (the guy told me she was a he...but after a probe, she's a she!). The guy ran a pet shop and someone had given this little girl to him. He wanted to get rid...

    Miami Phase Cornsnake

    I am going to a reptile expo on Sunday and I am looking into getting a Miami Phase corn snake. I LOVE this morph. I know it's not fancy and it's rather "plain" and "normal", but I love it's sleek colors. I've never been a fan of overly "orangy" corns. I love greys and reds so this is perfect for...
