    belly ID

    How, if at all, does an Okeetee belly vary from a Normal belly? (I'm aware that Okeetee was originally used in reference to a locality).

    concerns that 2yo is underweight

    hi : I've discussed this with a few of you in chat -- my fear that Clementine (who we adopted at 2yo from someone who was downsizing his rep/hep collection b/c he couldn't care for them all properly) is a bit underweight. Since I don't have a scale yet (will try to pick one up tomorrow), peeps...

    to bask or not to bask?

    Hey, When we adopted Clementine, her previous owner was using a heat lamp -- but advice on here had suggested corns don't need to bask, so uth is preferable -- which is what we've been using. However, we just picked up the Kathy Love Corn Snake book -- which has also been highly recommended...

    snake too skinny?

    Hullo. So, we adopted Clementine, a 2-yr-old female corn, last month. She's settled in nicely, is very docile, very tolerant of handling/out-of-viv playtime, & eats one f/t adult mouse every 8 days, & poos four days later. Like clockwork, she is. Given that she's adult -- is it strange that...

    Over-Handling?

    All : Clementine, the 2yo cord we adopted last month, has settled in beautifully. Question: I generally take her out for no more than 10-15 minutes per day (except for the two days after she eats, when we leave her alone to digest), during which time my twins sons (they're seven) each get a...

    Lunchtime Poll: Favorite Digital Probe Thermometer?

    Hey! Upgrading my, um, analog probe thermometer to a digital probe -- & the choices on Amazon.com etc are overwhelming. I'm thinking an indoor/outdoor with probe, so probe can be affixed to the glass over the UTH pad on warm side, & thermometer itself can go on cool side. Something like this...

    Hanging on cool-side post meal...OK?

    Hey, all : So, Clementine just had her first meal with us (2 year old female we adopted last week). She ate a f/t (& warmed by putting mouse in a ziploc bag & then steeping it in hot water for a few minutes) like a champ. Not only did she not mind us watching her eat, my kids were able to...

    corn hasn't moved in 8 hours...normal or panic?

    Apologies in advance -- neurotic corn mama here : So. Last night, we moved Clementine (newly adopted 2-year old female corn, rehomed from a neighbor who was downsizing his collection) into a new viv. She came to us in a 15-gallon tall & seemed cramped, so we took advantage of the recent PetCo...

    temperature probe inside or outside tank?

    Hi : Setting up new viv for our newly rehomed cornsnake, Clementine, & have a question about the thermometer probe. Tank is a 20long Zilla Critter Cage, & I'm using an UTH. I have a probe thermometer & thought I needed to secure the probe to the glass inside the tank (hottest spot she can get...

    Timing for moving to new viv

    Hello, all : We recently adopted a 2-year-old female corn from a neighbor who needed to downsize his reptile collection (30+ snakes, lizards, dragons, etc). She came to us this week in a 15 gallon tank, which had been her home. I added a UTH (previous owner had been using a heat lamp), probe...

    Feeding adopted 2yo corn for first time -- what size mice is best?

    Hello, All : We've just adopted a 2-year old female corn. Her former owner said she's been eating "one f/t adult mouse" every 7-10 days -- but now that I go to order her frozen dinners, I see that the adult mice come in small, medium, large. Should I start with small to be safe, & offer a...

    our first corn, (o my darling) Clementine

    hey! so -- here is Clementine, a 2-year-old female we adopted from a neighbor who is downsizing his collection. The color is a bit muddy because I didn't want to blind her with the flash -- will try to capture her bright orange glory in natural daylight!

    o my darling

    Clementine, our first corn, came home today. She's a two-year-old female we adopted from a neighbor who's downsizing his collection, & an absolute sweetie. She came in the tank she's been living in -- a 15-gallon tall I'll be upgrading soon -- & was incredibly docile & chill, happy to be held...

    I'm adopting a 2-year-old female corn snake from an owner who is downsizing his reptile family. She comes home tonight. My sons (seven and a half year old twin boys) are very excited -- we've done lots of research about corns, & they've handled snakes before & know to be gentle. They will...
