    Upgrading food item

    I've been feeding my little guy what is called the "small pinkies" from rodent pro. They are about 2g according to my food scale, which doesnt do more than 1g increments so im sure theyre not all 2g. Rodent pro says they are 1.8-2.4g. The next size I have are "large pinkies" which are 2.5-3g...

    Skin left from shed?

    Hey guys. My 3 and a half month old amel motley is doing great. He has eaten very well, responds well enough to handling for a hatchling, even sitting relatively still in my hand for a few minutes at a time sometimes. He's very active and always climbs on his branches. of course his primary...

    Successful First Shed!!!

    So when I first handled my 3 month old amel motley, he appeared to be dull, and I expected a shed soon. Well that was Wednesday, and the next few days he looked normal again. Fed him Friday with no problems, just strangely he preferred the cool side to the warm side which I thought was weird for...

    3 month old Amel Motley :)

    This is my little male Amel Motley I got last Tuesday! He's my first snake. He had a very successful first feed and first handlings. No name is set in stone yet, but I'm leaning towards Dante. This is after the famous Italian poet and narrator of Dante's Inferno (and Paradisio and Purgatorio)...

    First Handling Session?

    I got my first, 3 month old, male amel motley corn last tuesday (9/21). I didn't touch him at all until i placed him in his feeding container on Sunday at 6:00 PM. I'm wondering how long until I can handle him a little for the first time. Wednesday night? That would be 72 hours of digestion. Is...

    Successful First Feed!!!

    Well, I did the first feed today at 6 PM!! I took the little guy out of his hide (which he didn't seem very happy about at all, but I guess that's normal for a new baby snake?) and put him in his feeding tank. I weighed him and he weighed in at a whopping 10 grams :) . He was very skiddish in...

    Exciting Stuff For New Owner!!!!

    So I got my 3 month old male Amel Motley Tuesday, which is my first snake ever. I opened the lid to his deli cup he came in and placed it in the viv immediately, so I've yet to hold him at all. Besides exploring when he was first placed in the viv, he's been in his warm hide the entire time...

    Strange behavior from 3 month old snakes?

    I'm sure we are just worrying for no reason here, being new owners and such, but me and my friend just got a 3 month old corn baby each on tuesday. Mine I believe is behaving normally, but I just wanna make sure. Besides moving to his branch twice for a very short while, he has been in his hide...

    Turning UTH on and off?

    Ok, so my baby Amel Motley is coming in Tuesday! Just getting all the last minute details taken care of before he gets here. I'm likely going to swap out my repti-mat carpet substrate for either aspen or shredded newspaper. One more minor detail I'm looking to get some feedback on. I got a...

    Opinions needed!

    Ok I need to decide by tomorrow guys! should I get an amel motley or anery motley? I really like how the anery motley is like a nice dark black when its younger, but it seems to fade to grey as it ages. The amel motley also looks nicer when its young, but not as cool as the contrasting black and...

    Hows my viv look?!? :)

    As I await the shipment of either my anery motley, amel motley or ultramel anery (help me decide!!! lol) on tuesday, I decided to set up its vivarium. What do you guys think? It's a 10 gallon tank. I have the repti-mat carpet for substrate. On the warm side, I have a pirate skull for a hide...
