Hello everyone! Wow, it's been so long since I've posted here; I've been pretty busy with school. I just wanted to let you all know that Keahi is doing great, and she just shed yesterday. It was absolutely complete, with every single scale, including eyecaps, all in place. Exciting! No more...

I've been having trouble keeping the temps up in the cool side of the tank at night, so I've got a towel covering the screen top to keep heat from escaping so readily. The corners of the lid are not covered. Is this providing enough ventilation? Surely a towel is not airtight, but it...

I recently posted about a regurg, and I just wanted to let you all know that Keahi ate Saturday night and has not thrown up! It's been 4 days, so I'm sure we're in the clear. She has also defecated. I'll wait 'til the weekend again to feed her before putting her back on the 5 day schedule...

This Sunday will be the end of the 2 week waiting period after Keahi's regurg. It seems like it's been so long! I feel like I'm starving her, and I'm very happy that it's finally feeding time. Should I feed her half of a pink just to be on the safe side? Or should I feed her 2 halves, so...

Yes, a 40 long (36 X 18) can adequately house an adult corn, but would a 4 ft. cage be more comfortable, or just stressful? I want to buy a cage that will make the snake the most comfortable. I know that young snakes may feel insecure in a large cage. At what age/size would it be OK to move a...

I fed Keahi on Tuesday, and handled her and cleaned her cage on Thursday. She was out of the cage for a little over an hour, and it was about 65 in the house at the time. Later that night I discovered a slightly gelatinous substance, and I wasn't sure if it was feces or regurg. I went ahead...

Where do they list expos for all states (I'm in CA)? Thanks

Hello everyone. I just finished a nice handling session with my new corn. When I was getting her out of the cage, she was trying to get away from me with all her might! She kept running away and it took me a little bit to get her out. She calmed right down after about a minute of handling...

Last night I saw what looked like feces in Keahi's cage, so I picked it up to throw away. Upon inspection, I discovered that it didn't have quite the same consistency as her poop usually does, and it had a different smell. It was slightly gelatinous, very dark in color, and it was about the...

I lifted the hide (the one on the cool side) and found my snake coiled up as usual, but she had her head underneath part of her body. I couldn't see her breathing and I thought she was dead! I lightly touched her body and she didn't move - I was so scared! I touched her again and she moved...

Hey everyone. I just fed my snake today. Is it OK to lift her hide occasionally to make sure she didn't throw up, or should I leave her alone completely for a few days? Thanks, Ari

Is 85 on the warm side and 70 on the cool side a good gradient, or should it be 75 on the cool side? How do you recommend that I bring the temps up on the cool side without making the warm side too hot? Thanks

Howdy, everyone. I recently put a climbing branch in my snake's cage, and she's been up there ever since! She seems to really like it. I don't have a digital camera right now, so here's a very interesting (to say the least) picture of my cage setup: It's kind of an upside-down L with a...

With just the UTH on, the temperature on top of the substrate in my tank was 84. I put the probe under the hide and it climbed to 99 degrees! THAT'S HOT!!! The heat coming through the floor gets trapped in the hide instead of rising to the top of the tank and it gets REALLY HOT!!! I've...

Hi. I'm sure as you all know, I bought a hatchling about 10 days ago that regurgitated about 5 days ago. The person from the pet store I spoke to told me to turn up the temps on the warm side to 85 during the night, and to wait 2 weeks to feed her again. I've got a few concerns: I don't know...

Howdy, folks. I just held my snake for about 5 minutes, and at times she was pretty spastic. She seemed alright when she was just moving through my hands, but when I touched her or grasped her to put her back, she went crazy trying to get away! She seemed really scared. I'm concerned about...

My snake threw up last week, so I called East Bay Vivarium (where I purchased my snake). The first thing they asked me was about the temps. I told them that it was about 75 at night and 85 during the day. The man I spoke to said that the reason my snake threw up was because the temperature on...

I fed my snake for the first time in my care on Wednesday night and I just found the pinkie in her cage today (Saturday). I don't know exactly when she threw it up, but it didn't look very digested at all. I found it under one of her hides and didn't discover it earlier because I was trying to...

Hi everyone. This is a product question. I'm still looking for a good thermostat to buy and have narrowed it down to a few. I'm considering the Ranco or Johnson (they seem pretty much the same, let me know if they're not http://www.dsreptiles.com/products.php), Bigappleherp's Herp Power...

Hi all. My snake just ate for the first time tonight with no problems! It was so exciting to witness! She took the pinkie after avoiding it for about 10 minutes, but then gulped it down quickly. I'm really glad that she's an eater; I was mighty worried before tonight. My question is: how...
