    Opinions please. Worried.

    Came home tonight to this. 9 month old corn. just over two feet long. Snake was fed 5 days ago. Two Fuzzies. One normal size she has taken for about five weeks. One a little larger than normal. She has taken two fuzzies for the last three weeks. Seems like a regurgitation but she still has some...

    Constricting!

    Whoa, that was interesting! Ive just seen my corn strike HARD at a fuzzie I was holding in tongs. She did one tentative strike first and then let go as I wouldnt let her have it :p I was just thinking I might have to drop it in the box like normal when she struck, yanked it from the...

    Blood flow during eating

    Ok, not sure where to post this one so I will stick it here. A friend of mine who kept snakes in his home country of Venezuela was telling me yesterday that snakes cannot see very well (at all?) whilst swallowing prey due to the restricted bloodflow to their eyes and head caused by stretching...

    Yummy Mouse

    After a very succesfull shed today (apart from the very tip of her tail, which I always have to take off with some tissue) my snake Toes was looking very hungry so we took some photos of her eating. Thought id share.

    Infra-Red FTE wiring and setup.

    Im hoping someone who uses an infra-red ceramic heater can help me out with the setup of one of these units. I am assembling a new Viv for my corn. It will be 3ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft. I have decided to use a ceramic FTE to heat it for two reasons. 1)I am concerned that a heatpad will not have...

I was a bit worried yesterday that she still seemed very fat after 4 days and had only produced one (albeit v large) poo on tuesday. I am not at home so I cant describe the substance to you very well, but my GF...

    Advice on colour of Urates Please

    I was cleaning up my corns faeces today (first one after she fed) and noticed that the urine crystals seemed to have a definate green tinge to them. Is this indicitive of any possible parasite infection that any knows of? She seems in fine health though, ate a fuzzie on friday and has been...

    Heating of Vivarium in a cold room

    Im looking for a little advice here (again!). I currently have my corn in a large geoflat with a heatmat on a simple on/off thermostat. This is fine at the moment as the ambient temperatures are pretty warm. However, in the winter my flat gets very cold. Without heating it can drop to freezing...

    Our normal 'Toes'

    Thought id post some pictures of our 03 normal. She is now 18 inches long and eating 3-4 pinkies every 5-6 days. She is a very settled almost boisterous snake. I did try feeding a fuzzy to her 17 days ago, but although she ate it fine, it took a week to digest and Im pretty sure she threw a...

    Diet: Captive vs Wild

    Captive vs wild diets is something ive been thinking about a lot recently. Nearly all breeders / keepers ive spoken to feed only mice to their corns. A very few also use rat pups. Why is this? Is it purely because its easier than varying their diet? Many sources state that wild corns eat a...
