    Got caught shedding! (video)

    So I came home from the grocery store to find one of my corns halfway through his shed. The great thing was that he was right at the front of the tank and in perfect view. I got video of the last third or so. Very cool to watch and below is the link on youtube. He is a 2010 pewter from John at...

    My bloodred likes a drink before dinner

    I need to get a pic next time but she's gotten into the habit of drinking all the water off her F/T dinner before eating it. She goes up and down the entire body of the mouse for a few minutes drinking the leftover drops I didn't manage to pat dry. After she's done, she eats. The way she...

    Longer digestion times

    Of my 6 corns, one of them seems to have a much longer digestion time than the others. Here is the info : 2 snakes at around 25 grams eat 2 large pinks as the fuzzies are still a bit too big. Digestion is done in 1-2 days depending on the actual size of the pinks 2 snakes at around 10 grams...

    Metabolic rate differences between snakes

    I've been tracking the weights and feedings of my two stripes from the same clutch and it's interesting to see how they differ being fed the same amount. I've had them both about 6 weeks and they both started out at the same size of 8g when I bought them. Both are very aggressive feeders on f/t...

    The two girls are now two boys!

    So the petshop said they were both girls of which I was skeptical but who am I to disagree being new to corns. Well, after watching Kathy Love's video tutorial on popping, I finally got the cojones to try and pop them myself to find out. Wouldn't you know it, the first time I tried on both...

    Texas Brown Snake

    Found this guy while fishing on the N. San Gabriel River a few miles upstream of Lake Georgetown. Just north of Austin, TX. He was hanging out in the shade on some torn up timber that got stuck on a tree from the spring floods. Sorry it's a bit fuzzy. All I had was my iPhone for pictures...

    Feeding amounts/Munson Plan Questions

    I'm currently using the Munson Plan as a rough guideline for feeding my corn hatchlings. The problem is the size of the frozen pinks that have been available are either very small at 1g or very large 4-5g. My four snakes are 15g, 14g, 8g, and 6g. One small pink is perfect for the two smaller...

    Day vs Night Vivarium Temps

    Quick question, is it okay to have lower temps at night vs during the day? I ask because with my current setup(UTH with rheostat) the temps fluctuate from day to night. The reason is because I keep my AC running at 72 degrees at night and 80 during the day when I'm gone. Currently the temps...

    Hello from Austin, TX

    I've already made a few posts on the site but here is my introduction. My name is Ryan and I recently picked up two new corns. Both striped, one amelanistic and the other anerythristic. I've always wanted snakes so I finally just went for it. I picked corns because of their size and the vast...

    I'm in the process of building my first custom vivarium(incomplete pic attached) and I have a couple of questions regarding heating. Firstly, it's 3/4" plywood and the dimensions for each cubicle are 36"L x 20"D x 24"H. Each side should be plenty of room for a full size corn and then some. I...

    F/T switch phase 1 complete with success!

    My two new corns were both on live pinkies and I continued that by feeding each of them 2 small(very small) pinkies each for two feedings. I tried F/T for their second feeding but they both refused. I ended up giving them live again and they ate fine. I want to convert them to F/T but since...

    Water drinkers from the hand?

    Whenever I put either of my two baby corns back in their habitat after handling, I always put them on the cool side near the water and let them make their way out of my hand so I don't just drop them in. Every single time, both of them will hang off my hand and start drinking hanging upside...

Temperatures during the day are 74-86 where at night they are around 70-84. I've had them two weeks now and both have eaten...
