It's funny how life is... A week ago I tried the natural "eco-soil" bricks, and we were discussing/debating the effects this would have on the snake- while I was worrying about this and observing him in it, he escaped. I will be 100% honest, this happened 2 years ago when I first got him and...

Hi, I don't mean this to be defensive- but I want to try to provide my reasoning for my setup and see if others agree with me or not, and perhaps through this we can develop a dialogue that will contribute to our understanding of snake care. Original post: "Hi everyone, currently my corns...

Hi everyone, currently my corns setup is as follows: 20 Gallon tnak 6-8 inches of "Zoo med eco earth compressed coconut fiber": comes in blocks, very moist when water is added to it (which I do for very nice sheds and smooth skin) UT heater usually at 98 degrees (needs to be hot to warm soil...

Hi, I have had this snake since it was 6 months, I am wondering if I am not feeding it enough because when compared to other 2 year olds it is pretty small. The tank has a heating pad that at the bare surface is 90F and there is like an inch or two of substrate over it so I figure that keeps...

Hi guys, Last year I initiated hibernation in my snake. Around September I turned off the heat and let the temp slowly drop with the coming months. Eventually all that was heating the cage was the ambient temp, which was around 68. My snake basically curled up and remained inactive in the...

I've had mine for a year now, it keeps getting longer but not thick like adults.

I have a very basic knowledge of chemistry- from an intro college chem course I got a 'B' in (Hey I'm a history major!). I know that certain chemicals can break apart other chemicals or combine to create harmless chemicals (or to liberate the chemicals as heat energy). But is repti-safe all...

Hey, I've seen many people use real dirt, real plants (that they water), and natural stones and sticks and stuff to have a really cool looking tank. I have a 20G right now, biggest problem is it doesn't hold enough moisture with my room being so dry. I also thought these natural setups looked...

I used to use a red heat lamp at night, I started turning it off and it gets like 67F in the room. Boy is Herman (my boy) active, he seems much more alive and movement increases. Yet when its cooler he also is more pissy and hisses more.

That's basically my snake. At day, temps are 80's in hot side, room temp (low 70's high 60's on cool side). At night It's like 68 in his cage (read that was fine because they can adjust). Yet he used to be all out and about when he was younger in his 10G, now in his 20G he goes and hides in...

Despite frequent handling, being very gentle with him, etc... My 1 year old corn will always snap and hiss/bite me if I put my bare hand into the cage to take him out. Not only that but he hates going out of the cage period, getting him out involves chasing him throughout it before I finally...

Ok I have read numerous times that feeding your snake in the cage is a bad idea because it causes the snake to think that every time you open the cage food is coming. But I have some problems with this and wanted to know your opinions. One, I feed Herman (my snake) by holding the thawed and...

Ok this sounds silly but as a first time Snake owner I have to ask! I have a cute little corn snake named Herman, he's still a little one at just about a foot long and very thin- I've had him since he was a hatchling (for about 4 months now). Whenever I go to take him out of his cage he goes...

I love reptiles, more specifically I love my corn snake! What I am worried about is in a few years when me and my girlfriend plan to have kids, well I am worried about all the horror stories of salmonella deaths and the warnings to have no reptiles in the house until the children are at least 5...

For the past few days, he has hid a lot. yesterday his eyes were a milky blue and his skin had a white tinge to it. Today his eyes are back to normal but his skin still has that tinge? I looked but cant see his shedded skin? Is this normal or should his eyes stay blue the whole time...

Hello everyone! I recently got a hatchling corn snake. I gave it a few days to settle in, and the good news is that it doesn't bite me anymore! It's gotten more used to my hand, I can put my hand in there and if I move towards it (side or back of course) it still flees and hides, when I touch...
