I have a 5'x18"x18" vivarium for an adult male. The hot end has a large heat mat, and a 50w heat bulb (in a cage). BY DAY Lamp on (heat mat off) 30 deg C in hot end, 22 deg C in cold end BY NIGHT Lamp off (heat mat takes over as temp drops) 22 deg C in hot end, 20 deg C in cold end I thought...

I have an adult male corn snake. He is getting a new vivarium built ... 48"x15"x20" 1. I was wondering, if I bought another adult of similar size, could I safely house them together or would they fight? 2. If yes, would another male be OK? Or is female better 3. Would my snake prefer to have...

Sorry to post about garter snakes, but I thought as I'm a mamber here ... My mate has a garter snake, got it in August. It ate fine, was very well but stopped in the winter. He though he ate again, but I'm not so sure. He's now very week (months later) and will not eat at all. It is bound to...

He's 2.5-3 years old, 4ft long, male, Anery. He's been eating 2x Supersize mice every Friday - I've had him since he was 6 inches long, and he has ALWAYS eaten. I put him into a new vivarium that I made a few months ago - there is no smell ( I used yacht varnish and waited AGES for it to dry -...

I was updating the photos on my web site (URL below) and thought that this picture was particularally good. So here it is, full size in all it's glory. Suzy is 2 years, 9 months, about 3-4 ft in length, Anery, Male

Suzy + A Homebuilt Vivarium (Updated) Suzy, my Anery is 2 years and 7 months old feeding on a large FT mouse weekly. Just moved him into his new vivarium as the yacht varnish has now eventually stopped smelling when heated. A few pics ... Suzy His vivarium before he was allowed in...

OKay - this is from another thread, the first quite is mine but I don't wanna "steal" the thread ;) This is what I'm doing. My heat mat is thermostaticalyl controlled, inside the vivarium and under the substrate. There is a thermometer on both dies (on the wall, an inch from the substrate). The...

Suzy shed his skin last night - and before hand I gave him a bath so that it would help. 99% of it came off, but I helped with his tail (a damp cloth, and let him pull it through) but there is a little bit on his nose, and his eyelids are there (but loose). How can I get it off his nose? I...

Why do snakes like pooing in water? Suzy can go ages in his viv without going (perhaps doesn't want to '**** on his doorstep)' - when you hold him, and he relazes he may poo. But - give him a bath (like I just did as he's about to shed), he'll swim around, get his ass out, the poo. Never does...

I know this is a corn snake forum, but seeing as you guys always help, and I'm a member anyway, I thought I'd ask - sorry if that's wrong. A mate of mine had a hatchling garter snake in the autumn (he actually had 2 but one never ate). This snake ate white fish perfectly everytime, munched down...

OKay, my vivarium has, since being varnished. Stood in garage for 3 days, in my warm lounge for 5 days, and had a desk fan pushing air through for 5 days. The last one should have really aired it. Will yacht varnish ever stop smelling completely. I'd say the odur is less 'fumey' and more of a...

OKay, I have made a new vivarium for Suzy as his old one is far too small. About 2.5' x 1' x 1' made from plywood, and has been varnished, as tutorials shown me, with yacht - this, I have been led to believe does not have nasty odurs that harm snakes. The heat mat / thermostat is currently...

Hi - long time no speak, haven't been here for ages. After finding Suzy a temporary (larger) vivarium, it's about time he had his full sized one. Should be finished shortly. I'm getting to the point where I need to make the "insides". I saw a web site a while ago about this bloke who stuck...

Just stumbled across this URL ... www.uq.edu.au/education/extra/all.html :D :D :D

Suzy's last shed was a bit strange - the shed didn't come off in one go, and the last bit (from just above his vent to the tip of his tail didn't come off at all. I rekon the viv mustn't be humid enough, so I'll increase it and give him a bath next time. Anyway, as the shed wasn't successful I...

I know some people line their vivs with actual Astroturf ... this will cost me £25 to line my viv twice as it's very expensive. Astroturf is quite large and course. The local pet shop has artifical grass for reptiles (inc snakes), but this is not actual astroturf, it's softer, looks nicer. This...

Comments appreciated

OKay, my new viv is going to be about 12"x13"x36". For heating I'm gonna get a 11"x17" heat mat (as recommended) and stick it under the astroturf so my snake can't touch it. I've been told by the pet shop I need a light too (for additional heating). They say a 40/60W bulb, or a "day bulb"...
