For several years now, my husband has said he did not want to deal with any reptiles that need daily feeding, need to eat crickets, or need to eat plant matter - that pretty much ruled out most lizards. But now over the past few months he seems to have reversed his position. He's been reading...

We were at our local reptile shop a few days ago, and my 12yo son saw some bullsnakes that he's been talking about nonstop. So yesterday, we went back and picked one up for him. It's been very interesting to learn about a species native to our area, and I think it's inspired us to try out...

Finally did a little photoshoot with my 08 corn babies. Forgive the quality - I am working with little natural light and a crappy camera! Atlas was very cooperative, and I was happy with the shots I got of him: Pretty white belly Jubilee is my feisty little girl, and I wasn't able...

I was in Petco yesterday and saw a little BP in one of their "adoption" cages. It was labeled "special needs - blind". After further inquiry I was told that the little snake had retained its eyecaps over several sheds. It has been seen twice by a vet, who said the snakes eyes cannot be saved...

I currently have a bloodred and a pewter. My understanding is that bloodreds are basically a normal with diffused pattern - is this correct? And if I were to breed my blood and pewter together, would I get bloodreds het for charcoal? (I have no plans to breed my snakes, I am just trying to...

So, my little 08 bloodred is a little feisty. I will admit that I have not handled her a whole lot in the couple months since I got her. But everytime I DO take her out, she strikes at me and makes a break for it, rattles her tail nonstop, and spends most of the time I am holding her thrashing...

We purchased an 08 BCI, Henry, on 11/21. We were told he was feeding on live hopper mice, that he had refused his meal that week, but he had otherwise been a "good feeder". We brought Henry home and let him settle; first feeding attempt was 11/26 with a FT hopper mouse offered with tongs...

I tried to feed my new corn babies last night. I put Jubilee in a seperate container with a brained pinkie, but she wanted nothing to do with it. I think I freaked her out - she put up quite the tail-rattling fight about coming out of her cage! After awhile I just put the brained pinks in...

My new corns arrived via Fedex about 10:30 this morning. (I was wringing my hands over it since it got quite chilly this morning, and these are the first snakes I've had shipped.) They came from SMR, and I am soooo excited to have corns again! They are settling in now, but I did take a quick...

I think he is just adorable. Taking name suggestions!

If you could have only ONE corn, which morph would you choose? I had to sell my small collection earlier this year, but I think my DH might relent to me keeping one corn again. I am trying to decide which morph I want, but it is very tough to choose just ONE! Which morph would you get if it...

Here is my stupid query for the day. I have one adult cornsnake, purchased just before New Years. Last night, when she refused to come out of her hide to eat, we lifted up the hide to check on her and discovered that she'd laid eggs. She has not been in contact with any other snakes, male...

We've had Pandora for a couple weeks now. Not sure how old she is, but she is 4+' long and weighs 650g. The reptile shop we purchased her from advised us to feed her one adult mouse per week. However, when I looked up the Munson plan, I noticed that the plan recommends that snakes of her size...

Monalisa shed for the first time with us this weekend. She actually started to shed on Thursday, but only her head and neck shed and the rest of the skin was not coming off. On Saturday, we finally followed this procedure (thanks Nanci!). It worked like a charm, and once a patch on her back...

Okay, this is absolutely the last snake I am buying for a long time! I picked up a little '07 Butter male. His name is Harvest. Being ferocious!

I've been wanting a corn snake of my very own (the two we have technically belong to my husband and my son), and today I got one!!! This girl is an adult anery, about 4 feet. She is such a nice girl, and I'm so excited to have her! Her new name is Pandora. ;)

My hubby just about had a panic attack last night when he went to change Fluffy's water and couldn't find him anywhere in the cage. He's in a 29 gal critter cage that my Dh has filled with several plants, hides, etc. Dh had looked everywhere he could think to look, dug through the aspen, and...

We fed our two new corns for the first time. We started with Fluffy. We put him in a small container with a pinky, and he seemed interested but didn't eat it. We were disappointed, but we thought we'd leave him alone and give him some time, so we placed the container in his cage and moved on...

Is there some sort of SnakeOwners Anonymous or something? We purchased our first two corns about a week and a half ago, and yesterday I bought a ball python. While I was at the shop yesterday, I saw a gorgeous '06 anery corn that I've been thinking about ever since! And Dh wants a BP of his...

Here is Fluffy, my hubby's candycane. Here are a couple shots of Monalisa, my son's hypo. And here's a quick one of the ball python I just brought home for myself yesterday. :) This is Priscilla:
