I thought I would start a new thread so this information would be easy to find for anyone having the same problem in the future. During a check of my hatchlings I noticed that one baby looked particularly chunky at its back end. This baby had never pooped so, sadly, I got quite excited and...

This hatchling is 3 weeks old, drinks its water as normal and has fed twice. Only problem, it's not pooping. Had a good look at it today and noticed a bulge at the vent, thinking it was finally going to poop I was quite pleased until I noticed something unusual. It's almost like a layer of skin...

I know it's a calcium deficiency that causes MBD and corn snakes generally get plenty from eating mice/rats. But say you fed your corn on pinkies (not just one at a time) for much longer than you were supposed to, could that give your corn snake MBD? Seeing as pinkies have much less calcium in...

One of my posts in a different subject went slightly off topic so I thought I should ask again but in the genetics area :) How do you tell the difference between an amel hatchling and a butter hatchling? I've been trying to find good pictures online to use as references but I'm really struggling...

I've got a baby hatched today who I'd originally put as normal but after having another look I've realised it doesn't have the orange colouring that I'm used to seeing but instead has a slight yellow tinge. I'm wondering if that means it could be an anery? (I really want it to be an anery)...

I'm sorry for asking when I know there is at least one thread on this subject already but for the life of me, I cannot find it. I was speaking to a friend of mine about my eggs in the incubator and was asked if there are any big signs of them hatching soon and the only thing I could remember was...

My Amel should be laying any day now and I'm feeling so sorry for her. She's HUGE and just so restless. In the laying box, out the laying box, in the laying box, out the box, a few laps of the viv, in the box, out the box... She had her pre-lay shed a week ago and I'm just dying for her to lay...

I've a 4 year old Blizzard who is the biggest pain when it comes to shedding. I've had him for a year now and he's never managed to shed fully by himself yet! He's a very shy snake and when he's ready to shed he just hides so he ends up becoming really dehydrated and "crinkly". I have to bath...

I wasn't sure where to put this so I hope it's in an acceptable place... I was wondering, are snakes born with all their vertebrae and they grow along with it, or do they grow new ones as they get bigger? It was actually my OH that asked me and I realised that I didn't actually know! My thought...

I gave my snakes a break last year and I've been bouncing up and down waiting for breeding time to come this year. My planned hook up are ready to go - my female just shed a couple days ago and my males are all going loopy! But whilst I was thinking about exactly where I'm going to place the...

Hi there, little request. Can someone post me a link to the original Munson plan? I've had a copy of it for years printed out and stuck into my snake feeding/weight/shedding folder but I've had a bit of an accident and it's been ruined so I've had to start a new one and I can't find the...

I have a male blizzard, he's about 3 years old and is almost constantly in blue. I bought him in April from someone off RFUK and he's shed 5 times already and is in blue again. He shed 2 weeks ago... He's an incredibly shy, and has had problems shedding in the past, especially under his chin...

Hey guys! I'm currently in Chicago (I live in Scotland, can't remember if I put that on my page!) and I'm missing my snakes so freakin' much! Been here for five weeks now so I didn't breed this year as I didn't feel it would be fair leaving the eggs and all the joys of incubation and snappy...

She's about a year and a half old and I've had her since she was 7 weeks. I asked about her feeding when we bought her and was told that she was a fantastic eater... Total b.s... but I fell in love with her and didn't mind her being a bit fussy. For the first few months she would eat a meal...

Okay so it's only the one so far but it's a wee cutie!

Just realised I've not said hi to everyone yet! So... Hi! I'm Jenn, I live in Scotland and own 3 corns (after just selling 4 and my bf having one...) =] I just started breeding last year so I'm still a bit of a newbie but glad to offer any help. Also I wanna say thanks to everyone here, you're...

My friend just asked me how long it takes for a corn snake to lay after conception... And I couldn't answer! I think my brain my have just melted slightly... I tried searching but the link isn't working for some reason and google is about as helpful as an ashtray on a motorbike... Any help? I...

I've been a member of the site for a while now and I don't think I've ever posted... Shocking, I know! So here's my first thread and I hope you guys reply :D Anyway I've been having a look-see at the breeding section again and reading stories of pippies waiting 'till day 70+ to make an...
