    Just A Normal?

    Greetings all, is this just a plain old Amel, or leaning towards Candy Cane, which I know is also Amel. Or is there perhaps something that I am not seeing. Sent from my WAS-LX1 using Tapatalk

    2019 Breeding

    Clutch 1 was laid on 18 November. Now on day 52, after being incubated at 30 degrees C. I don't know if that one egg has pipped or split, a number of others are also indented. Has anyone had eggs pip at day 52 or around there. Sent from my WAS-LX1 using Tapatalk

    Mystery

    I gave a colleague of mine a female Normal Corn 7 years ago. It was one of my hatchlings. She has never seen another Corn, let alone paired with one. Over this past weekend she decided to lay 21 eggs, of which 20 are slugs. One though, the white one on the left has a single red vein in it. Sadly...

    Controversial Qestion

    Not to start a war on opinions, I just want yo know. Do the babies in the pics look like Jungle Corn Hatchlings. Someone advertised them, but I think they are pure corns. Sent from my WAS-LX1 using Tapatalk

    Back Into Corns

    So after about 3 years of not keeping Corns, a friend of mine donated a pair of adult Amels to me. Breeding Season hit us 4 months later, and I paired them, witnessing 6 recorded locks in the process. On 31 December 2018 she laid 9 eggs. I will candle them tonight. Will try to post pics over...

    Greetings Again

    I feel that I have to re-introduce myself seeing as I was last on the Forum about 3 years ago. I had to give up of my whole collection, yes, all 108 snakes, because I moved from one Province to another. Due to inter-provincial legislation, I could not take them with me. I slowly built up my...

    My 2015 Hatchlings

    It is so good to be on the other side of the world at the moment. Simply because I get to see hatchlings the whole year round. Where you all are pairing up now, my eggs are only starting to hatch now. My first clutch hatched 12 days ago. While it was a dissapointing affair, I got a surprise...

Much has happened in those two years when it comes to Me and my Reptiles, my collection spiked at a total of 84 animals, dropped...

    Texas Rat Snake

    Good Day All If you want to practice using Tongs or a Hook, these are the Snakes for it. Texas Rat Snakes get very big and are aggresive to boot. I have a pair, Male 2.2 meters and Female 1.9 meters. I use the Female to practice with, simply because the Male will not tolerate being handled and...

    Am I Right

    I strongly suspect that this Corn which I was given is a Creamsicle. It is a male. Can anyone confirm it to be a Creamsicle or are there other viewpoints to be considered on what he is. Also, and I know this is difficult, because the feeding regime is unknown to me, I think him to be about two...

    Dwarf Corns

    Has anyone bred Corn Snakes that can be called dwarves? Why I ask is because I have 2 which I have bred which are small, despite eating on the same feeding schedule as all my other Corn Snakes. The only difference is that where my normal sized Corns will eat 2 or 3 adult mice per feed, these two...

    Is this just another Classic

    A bit of history on this little guy. He was in the last clutch bred from a Classic Female. She bred for seven years in a row producing 126 babies in total. She showed a lot of silver colouring, but the Forum unanimously voted some years back that she definitely was not a Miami Phase. She was...

    Please Identify

    I was given this snake. I think it is some type of Rat Snake, most likely a Black Rat Snake Morph. I am sorry about the picture quality, I will take more this weekend and post on Monday.

    Corns and Bird Eggs

    Corns are opportunistic at times. They will eat virtually anything, this is why their survival rate is so positive. Here is a Corn eating a Bantam Chicken Egg The pic does not belong to me, but I just could not resist posting it. This photo has not been interfered with or photoshopped in any...

    Opinions Needed - Classic or Not?

    I have been trying for years now to get an accurate account of this snake to put an end to my curiosity regarding her. Is she a classic?, or is there possibly something else involved here? What puts me off is the Orange Wash which gets darker and more prevelant as it progresses toward the tail...

    Temperature Query

    I have recently obtained a new snake enclosure. I intend putting my Dumerils Boas into this enclosure. I need a temp. of 35c on the hot side and 25c on the cool side. My problem is this: I have an under enclosure heating pad which is only getting the temp on the hot side up to 21c. Do I need...

    Problem? .... Or Not?

    I had one of my pairs of corns hook up last night. Now, in seven years of breeding corns this is the first time I have seen blood mixed in with the sperm in the spillage. Maybe I just have not paid close enough attention before. Two questions: Is this a problem?, and , Does this blood come...

    Stubborn Female

    Here's the problem. 1 x Female 10 years old (I have had her sexed at 3 different places). 1 x Male 7 years old (Proven Breeder). About 2 weeks ago I put these two together for about 2 hours, while he harrassed her continuously, nothing happened. Last night I put them back together for 3 hours...
