    So I got a cat... now what?

    I've wanted a cat for a long time, and yesterday I adopted one from the shelter. I also have a 1.5 year old corn snake. I'm absolutely paranoid about the cat getting into the snake's viv. The lid is latched closed in a way that i believe requires opposable thumbs to open, but the top is wire...

    bloody defrosted mouse!

    Hi, I searched for an answer to this and couldn't find anything. I'm sorry if it's a repeat, or just a dumb question. I'm defrosting a fuzzy for my snake - the mouse is in a ziploc submerged in a cup of warm water. It's mostly defrosted and the mouse is covered in blood, which it wasn't when...

    fluker's repta-vines

    Hello! I bought a package of Fluker's "Purple Coleus" Repta-Vines at a pet store. Would it be safe to put these in a tank with my 10 month old corn? I only ask because the vine parts have some rough and pointy plastic bits and I'm not sure if my snake could damage her skin on them. Also, would...

    hello! i have two questions: 1. i've had my corn snake since august. the pet store said she was 3 months old when i bought her. (i suspect she was younger, though, judging from pictures i've seen. it's kind of hard to tell.) regardless, i've been feeding her one pinky ever 5-7 days. she's grown...

    shed!

    my snake shed for the first time since i've had her today. i caught it right when she was starting. all of the skin came off as far as i can tell - i didn't get a good look at the shed because she pooped while it was happening. made for a very easy clean-up, actually. it was all in the inside of...

    i don't think my snake has moved in 3 days...

    granted, i might have just not seen her move. 3 month old snake, i got her a week and a half ago. fed her a pinkie for the first time on saturday and since then she's just been curled up in a corner by the heat pad under some paper towels (substrate). which seems about right to me. but i don't...

    feeding and shedding for the first time

    well, the first time since i've had her, anyway. i was planning on feeding my 3 mo old corn for the first time since i've had her today. i defrosted a pinkie in warm water (in a plastic bag) and took her out to put her in the feeding box. but it looks like she's going to shed. she's very pale...

I purchased a ~3 month old corn on Saturday. I'm going crazy trying to work out the heating situation. I started out with a...
