The researchers didn't use corn snakes, but I am guessing they use similar cues to know when to stop constricting. "Snake modulates constriction in response to prey’s heartbeat Boback et al. Abstract: Many species of snakes use constriction—the act of applying pressure via loops of their...

I just got an email with the February sales flyer from Pet Supplies Plus. They are having a $1/Gallon sale with tanks from 10-55 gallons. Here is a link to enter your zipcode and get the local sales flyer to check that your local store is participating in the promotion...

This is Jade, my "just a normal" corn. She is almost two years old and has the most wonderful disposition. Since I see her everyday I didn't really think her colors had changed much since she was a baby, but after comparing pictures I took today with the pictures I took the day I got her I can...

I did an impromptu photoshoot with my two Baird's ratsnakes. Belle is my normal subadult ('10) and Yorke is my baby hypo ('11). Sorry about the grey snakes in a grey tub, all my tubs are grey for some reason. The first pic shows the differences in their sizes, baby vs. adult pattern, and...

Just wanted to start a progression thread for my newest addition. This is Purkinje, my new Western Hognose snake. I have been wanting one of these little guys for a while and picked him up at the Midwest Reptile Show in Indianapolis this morning. Here are a few pics before letting him settle...

There was an interesting article in Science this week about physiological changes in the Python heart and it got me clicking around the internet looking at the references used by the authors. I know this is not about corn snakes, but I would think that something similar would occur in corn...

I had some polymer clay laying around and wanted to make a hide for my snake. What I ended up designing was a hide that could double as a humid hide when she sheds. I am not sure about the amount of clay I actually used to make this, but I did have to go out and buy two small bricks and two...

I have snakes for a little over a year, and when I told my nephew I got a pet snake, his first reaction was "NO WAY AM I EVER TOUCHING THAT THING...I NEVER WANT TO GET NEAR IT...etc." Well, today was the first time he came to visit since I got my snakes (he lives in Washington state and doesn't...

Here are some pics of my Baird's ratsnake, Belle. I got her in October and she has already changed so much...cannot wait until her next shed to see how she'll change :) First two pics are from the day I got her and the third pic was taken tonight.

Anyone else's snake cruise around its tank for a while after eating. One of my snakes retreats right into the hide on the warm side of the tank after eating, while the other cruises around her tank for 45-60 minutes after every meal. Just an odd observation and was wondering if anyone notices...

This is Jade in her temporary feeding box, I think she only loves me cuz she has a full belly :)

My snake was sold to me as a crimson corn snake and I was wondering what you guys thought. I don't know anything about her genetics, but I wonder if her ground color is not right. Just curious, no plans for breeding and of course I think she is pretty no matter what she is :) Erin

I know most snake breeding goals are the different color morphs, but I am curious if anyone has tried breeding with the goal of calmer/feistier snakes? Anyone notice if breeding two calm adults results in calmer hatchlings or do most people find that more/less handling is the difference between...
