Ty has stopped eating 4 weeks ago. I noticed the bump never really went away after the last feeding but I noticed feces several days later. He/she has only lost 5 grams from 110 down to 105 over the 4 weeks. He/she is over a year but under two. Could the bump be eggs? Is he/she old enough to...

What is a trusted Internet site to purchase a Hydrofarm thermostat and heat pad for my 12" wide x 30" long x 12" high viv? Is there anything else ill need to buy? I'm finally getting rid of the unregulated UTH by Reptitherm. It gets too hot with no way to turn off unless I unplug it.

I had posted about a month ago that Ty was taking forever to digest a fuzzy he ate back on Feb 24th. He was up to 35 gms on March 16 but had not eaten anything since Feb. He weighed a lot more due to him retaining fluid and not digesting properly. He still had a buldge but it wasn't hardened. I...

Last feeding was Feb 24. It was a fuzzy that was too big. 10 days after feeding, Ty still has a noticeable lump like he is still digesting. And I haven't noticed any poop in his viv.

I have assumed that my Gold Dust (Ty) is a male. Is there any dangers or problems that can occur due to making this assumption? i have no plan on breeding Ty. Do females, not being bred, have different care during breeding/egg laying season? I do plan on taking Ty to a vet within the month for...

I fed Ty a fuzzy this past Sunday (Feb 24). It was not more than 1.5 times his body size. He still has a noticeable bump like he is still digesting. Should I be concerned? Should I still attempt to feed him this Sunday (Mar 3)? He moves between his cold and warm hide regularly and his temps are...

Well I have determined that Ty is around 7 1/2 months old. He is approx. 23 inches long and weighs 29 gms. I think he is pretty healthy looking. Anyway, here is some pics. I have a hard time getting his yellow to come out in the pics. It is really bright. Sitting quietly in my hand Best...

I know about the Munson feeding chart and how that is a guideline to feeding certain size mice to certain size corns. My question is what is the typical growth chart of cornsnakes? What are the ranges in weight and length that you typically see at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc? I'm not sure...

Ty is a Gold Dust motley. I offer him a small fuzzy since he is 29 gm. He refused, so naturally I was a bit confused. I put him back in his viv and was going to wait until next week to offer again. I notice a couple of hours later in his viv a full shed (eye caps and all). I guess that is why he...

He is a pic from this weekend with my son and Ty. Ty is doing so much better after his regurge several weeks ago. He ate two pinkies 8 days ago. He quickly downed 2 pinkies yesterday. He even ate them while my son and I were watching. I think he is really getting used to me now. He is pretty...

Ty regurgitated his fuzzy last Sun/Mon. All temps and everything were good. The size of the fuzzy was not too big and he had ate fuzzies the past 2 feedings. So I am not sure why he regurged but nonetheless. I was going to wait 2 weeks to offer another fuzzy but I noticed something last night...

Well, Ty regurged his fuzzy from Sunday evening. That sure does stink. I had to change out his water last night and may have disturbed him since he was under his water bowl when I removed it to change out the water. Lesson learned - change out the water prior to feeding. I checked the temps and...

Turns out that Ty is a very shy eater. This is the second week in a row that I have had to leave the fuzzy right in front of his warm hide and leave over night. Both times, he ate the fuzzy by morning. Is there a way to "teach" him to be more open during his feeding time. I also am not...

He ate a fuzzy on Jan 5. He refused 2 pinkies on Jan. 10 and again on Jan 11. I have handled him only twice since Jan. 5. I offered him a fuzzy today and he refused again. All of this has been in a separate feeding box. So I decided to try and feed him in his Viv this evening. He was in is...

I'm pretty sure Ty explores his viv at night while I'm asleep but I was so happy to see him out and about while the lights were on. I came home from picking my son up and my son immediately went over to Ty's viv and said, "I see Ty!" I thought, "Yeah right." But sure enough, there he was...

I hope that Ty is not a finicky eater now and he was just stressed from the holidays and all the handling and then shedding. He ate very well on Dec 15th - 2 pinkies. Attacked them while I was holding them with tweezers. Then he ate again on Dec. 21st - 1 fuzzy. He attacked it as well while...

I was looking at this link and was trying to decide if the HerpStat 1 would be something I would use. I have several questions and hopefully some of you guys will know the answers and can steer me in the right direction/product. I am looking for a temperature/thermostat that will adhere to the...

I know you guys have already seen my corn but my son has now met him and named our little guy. His name is Ty. I love his name and think it is pretty cool. Especially how he came up with the name. Long story but it was a battle between my son and his uncle. Over the past couple days, my son has...

Because I know regurgitation is really bad for snakes, how often and how do you check after feeding to see if you snake has regurged? After feeding my guy goes straight into his warm hide and apparently stays there for a couple days. I don't want to stress him by lifting his hide to see if he...

I think my little guy may be ready to start shedding. After his feeding today, his eyes were looking a bit greyish today. I hope he doesn't shed over Christmas. I'm sure it is best to leave them alone when they are shedding. Is it harmful to the snake to handle him while shedding. My son will...
