We have only had our cornsnake for 2 or 3 months now, and I just recently found out I'm expecting our first baby. Unfortunately, I also just read an article about the dangers of pregnant women and small children with reptiles in the home. I always knew that reptiles sometimes carried...

Right, I know that after the snake gets to about 15g you want to do double pinks instead of just one. But I do not have a scale that will weigh that little accurately, and I don't have $40 to go buy a digital from WalMart (really bad selection of those here in El Paso). So can anyone give me a...

Well, we've had our snow for a month now, and today when I pulled her out to handle/feed her, there was a big, beautiful, intact shed in her tank! It was all wrapped around the faux ivy we have in there, including near the top of the tank lol. I was so glad, b/c she didn't eat on her last feed...

I've had my snake for about 3 weeks now, and she still hates being handled. She'll try to escape when you attempt to pick her up (with very slow movements, laying my hand on the cage so she can come to me, the works). She's nuts when you first have her, trying to get away, but after 5 minutes...

I'm so confused! I feel like a real dummy asking, because I'm sure it's simple, but I know there has to be more to it than a strip of flex watt under the tank. We are considering buying some beautiful motley's hatchlings, and would like to keep them in tubs, in a rack, and as I understand it...

My husband and I are crazy for corns, and are considering the possibility of breeding in the future. It will be a few years still before our snow is ready, and obviously we need to get more than just one snake if we actually expect babies :laugh: So my question is, is it hard to actually sell...

We are looking for a fire/albino bloodren/amel bloodred whatever you choose to call it! I'm talking Amel + Diffused! Lol. We would love a fire with fun hets, like hypo or anery. Male is preferred, as we have a female snow we'd like to pair him with. Any age is fine, and if you perhaps have...

Okay, we're looking in to getting a "fire" corn: http://iansvivarium.com/morphguide/fire/ There's that for reference. But, since so many different breeders come up with different names for the same snake, I'm getting a little confused. "Fire" is defined as amel and diffused, but an "amel...

I just got a snow that is about 11 weeks who wasn't sexed by the breeder. (She is local, but sells them to the pet store she works at). I watched Kathy Love's video on popping, and tried to pop my snake this evening before I fed him/her. I rolled my thumb just like she shows from a few...

My new corn has been in his viv for 5 days now, and I was planning on trying to feed him a pinkie either tonight or tomorrow. Any tips or suggestions? As I understand it, I basically thaw the pinkie, put Chauncey in his feeding box with the pinkie, then close the lid and leave him alone. I...

Is it harder to get your hands on a yearling (or even an adult) vs. a hatchling?

I'm curious about how so many different colors of corn snakes there are out there. Is it all carefully planned out? Or is it a bit "Well I wonder what happens if I take this and this..."? Is there such thing as two colors that will produce...well, "ugly" hatchlings?

We just got our first corn snake, and needless to say we do not need to be worrying about breeding any time soon. But I find the process and well as the plethora of results fascinating, and would like to know a lot more about how my snow corn came to be. So does anyone have any good books to...

My baby corn is in a little glass aquarium tank right now, with a wire mesh reptile lid. Because the aquarium has a lip on the inside of the tank for the hood/lights to sit on, there is a gap between the mesh and the lip, which is just the right size for my Chauncey to hang out on. We just got...

Introducing.... Chauncey! He is a beautiful little Snow. His body is so pink it's translucent in places! I think you can see his last pinkie nearing the end of his digestive tract...lol. He has wonderful white markings. There is a spot at the base of his head that is shaped like the letter...

My husband and I can't decide....he wants the Blizzard, I like the Snow...but the Creamsicle is adorable and the Amelanistic? Amazing. So I ask you to vote! Just for fun. I'm sure you'll all have crazy, weird arguments and justifications for your choice. And I love that! :laugh: And I'll...

So, like I've said a few dozen times already, I'm finally getting a corn on Tuesday! (From SMR!) And I'm curious about everyone's opinion on the different substrates available. My hubby wants to use the repti-carpet (or whatever that's called), but I used a similar product with a tortoise I...

My hubby and I are about to get our first corn, and for now he/she is going to be in an plain old aquarium. But once he/she gets older and bigger, and needs a bigger place, we'd like to build one instead of just getting another tank. We were at a thrift shop the other day and saw one of those...

Well I finally have a chance to get a corn snake! I have been an admirer for many years, but married a man who was afraid of snakes. (After seeing that, when they're babies, they look more like earthworms than anything, he was like "Why don't we get one?":laugh:) So, there is a pet store in...

My name is Amanda, and I'm new here (obviously :)) I have loved snakes all of my life, but growing up my parent's didn't want one in the house. I got married 2 years ago to a wonderful man who happens to be afraid of snakes. :cry: We currently have a miniature Schnauzer, Freddy, and two...
