    Adult corn not eating in almost a month

    I've got a boy about 2 years old who's eaten very well up until this point. His most recent meal, however, was 15Mar. I've read about how guys can pass on eating for a while come spring time, but how long is normal? I've tried feeding him 5 separate times in the last month, but he is completely...

    Difficulty heating new tank. How hot is too hot?

    I just moved my snake from the 10 gallon tank to a 20 gallon, along with the thermostat from the old cage. I got a new UTH for the new tank also. I am having difficulty getting the warm side of the cage hot enough though. There is a stone hide there that I was hoping would keep the heat in, but...

    Feeding Re-F/T Mice

    I thawed 2 mice last night to feed my guy, only to take him out and see he was in the blue so I put him back and refroze the mice. Is there any problem with feeding him these refrozen/thawed mice after his shed?

    Please advise: Snake started burrowing and just struck at me

    My snake has recently started burrowing all the time. To pick him up Ive been using a stick to uncover him and scoop him up. I just tried to do it with my hands though and he struck at me...luckily he missed. I left him alone and came on here but read that I really should not leave him alone...

    Picking up snake immediately after feeding

    After reading some other feeding posts, it seems like the generally accepted practice is to let the snake find it's own way out of the feeding chamber. I was unaware of this before, so what I've been doing is feeding my snake in his feeding chamber (which is actually quite large, something like...

    Snake went in the blue but not shed yet?

    My snake's eyes turned blue ~2 days ago, and then went back to normal yesterday. I don't see an obvious shed lying in the tank, but I haven't gone looking under the aspen for it. He also doesn't look as bright as he did last time he shed (ghost though so his colors aren't extremely bright). Do...

    Bleach tank/water bowl?

    I cleaned my cage last night for the first time since I got my snake (besides the initial cleaning I did with dish soap/water). I sprayed the cage with a bleach spray - I apologize I don't have the bottle in front of me so I don't remember the type, but I believe it was Clorox - and the water...

    Has anyone used this Thermostat?

    http://www.bigappleherp.com/BAH-1000-Thermostat# I would like to get a not-too-expensive thermostat for my corn, and this one looks pretty decent. Also, how exactly does one set this up? I already have a thermometer in the cage, but it looks like this has a probe attached to it, although no...

    When to go from pinky to fuzzy?

    I've had my corn for 2 weeks and have fed him just pinky mice so far. I read you can upgrade to the next size if the bulge is not visible ~24 hours after eating, which is definitely the case (he was hatched June 5). I am currently thawing a fuzzy mouse, which i haven't actually seen, but felt in...

    Heating tank

    Hi everyone, I have my first snake coming via UPS tomorrow, so I set up his cage yesterday to see how things would work out. I have a hide on either side of the cage, with a UTH on one side. That hide was at 88 degrees F this morning, but the other hide was only 65. We tend to turn the heat off...
