A sulcata tortoise was recently found at a construction site by a family member. The tortoise is probably 5-7 years old and about 13” in length. He seems relatively healthy and only after a recent vet visit, we realized he has pin worms as well as a type of protozoa. For an apartment already...

So we found a sulcata tortoise. We correctly identified him and he is in relatively good shape. hard shell, not too much pyramiding, but some running eyes. we were told to keep an eye on them and take him to the vet if he gets worse. Currently the tortoise is about 13" long (front of shell...

When thinking of what to do with the cage that my cornsnake out grew, we decided to try a ball python. The tank already has a heating pad, locking screen top, waterbowl and a hide. I understand the ball pythons are more docile, pickier eaters and get a bit thicker. Can anyone give me some...

Currently have a cornsnake who is about a year and a half old. He is in a 10 gallon aquarium now, and I am looking to upgrade when I move in a month. I want to completely deck it out, money is not an issue and I want the best set up I can get that would be safe for my cornsnake. Fake plants...

I have a real simple question… can you put a cornsnake on the ground and leave it? I hear of people doing this and it seems absolutely crazy. My cornsnake is one and half years old, about 30 inches and 60 grams. I would think leaving him on the ground would result in losing him instantly. I...

So my snake is one year old and is about 24 inches. he is currently in a 10 gallon aquarium... when should i move him to a larger one and what size should i move him to? thanks!

when is it the easiest to handle a corn snake? mine is about 7 months old and 24 inches long and it seems like it's getting a little easier. i dont mean the whole jumpy issue. i mean is it easier when they're 5 feet long because they can wrap around your arm better. just looking for some opinions.

every couple minutes (for about the 20 minutes i was able to watch), my snake was dipping his head in the water bowl then going away from it, adn then coming back. when i walked in, he was in his water bowl. i have my air set to 76 during the day so i cant imagine the cage temperature is too...

So my snake is about 1-2 months old (I think). He’s 15 inches long. I have had him for just over a week and I attempted to feed him over the weekend and he didn’t want it. I tried the whole braining and all of that, but I expected that he wouldn’t eat the very first time, especially only being...

Title basically says it all. I have a corn i had for almost a week. Hes buried under the aspen and im not sure if i can grab him when he is like that. Should i pick him up to handle? Is it okay for him to do this? I wanted to feed him so how should i go about that if hes buried since i wanna...

So I am the new proud owner of a CHARCOAL CORN SNAKE!! I cannot tell you how happy I am with it. I actually ended up buying it from Petsmart (I do not need to hear that it was a bad choice or how awful pet stores are). I went with my gf so she could hold one and see if she could handle it, and...

Here are my questions. Please feel free to answer 1 or 2 or all, anything helps!! 1. I read that newspaper or paper towels wouldn’t be a bad idea to start so you can spot mites, and easily see the snake. Is this necessary? If not, I think I’ll go with Reptibark 2. I was thinking of using the...

First off, I am new to this forum and I’ve had a couple posts already today so instead I am going to put it in one thread. I have never owned a snake. I ordered two books on Cornsnakes so that will definitely help answer some questions but as usual, I am very intrigued about doing this. SO here...
