This is so cool...he just started doing this today. He's never coiled around food before. Sorry for the image quality...it was bad lighting combined with the plastic feeding cage...so there is a lot of distortion. I think it is because the food is so big he has to coil to swallow it. This...

Strangles poked his head out while I was at the computer and just stared at me for like 20 minutes. I know he probably cant even see me from in there, but it was still a little creepy.

I was considering buying like 4 or 6 of those cat-grass things at petco and taping them together tight and stuffing them into my viv so Strangles can "hide" in it. I figured it would look cool and the snake might like it more since it is what he would find in nature. Any downsides to it? I...

I fed Strangles his first fuzzy yesterday. Frankly, I am shocked he was able to swallow this. I watched him for the first 5 minutes and got bored because he didnt seem to be making progress. I was assuming I had just wasted a mouse. But 15 munites later it was gone and all I saw was this: Did...

Whats the worst that can happen if you have a bad shed? I mean is it something that is life threatening or will it just stress/annoy the snake? Mine had his first shed a few days ago and I was stressing about this because I fed him right before (I'd never seen a snake shed before, so I didn't...

I'm happy about this because I was getting worried that I had fed him too soon before a shed. But 48 hours later, I come home and find this: This is really cool. He is all shiny and new again. Its like getting a new pet every month. And I have confirmed that the blue in his eyes is coming...

Ok, I have a hatchling snake that I just started on double pinks. I fed him tonight and he ate the first pink fine...but the second one he insisted on eating tail first. Will this be a problem? I did not give it to him head first...I assumed he would maneuver it himself. I assumed wrong. After...

Other than the fact that these look really cool, it makes it a lot easier for him to climb to the top. He cant scale those aquarium plants very well because they are slippery and pointed downwards. Got those vines on sale at Petsmart for $8 for 6 feet. He had just eaten, so I expected him to go...

I just fed my snake yesterday...he refuses to use the hide on the warm side of the tank. He likes the cool side better for whatever reason. I have checked temps and the warm side is not too hot. The cool side is room temp (around 68F to 70F...I have a thermometer at the far edge of the cool side...

Someone posted a link to a chart that shows what size prey should be fed to the snake based on their weight...does anyone still have that link? I looked in the FAQ and couldnt see it. My snake is about 12 grams right now. I fed him last Saturday but the lump was barely visible at all, so I am...

Ok, I have handled my baby snake twice so far, and it went pretty good. No obvious signs of agitation or anything that I can see. But I get a little nervous when handling him because I feel like he might bite me sometimes. It is not that I am afraid of the bite...I am afraid it will startle me...

First time feeding my new baby Corn Snake Strangles. I was kinda nervous about it because I wasn't sure I was doing it right, but as soon as the novelty of the new feeding cage wore off, he dived in and just did it. I guess thats a good sign. I had left the frozen fetal rat in the cage for...

What do the numbers mean in people's taglines? Like you will see "Ball Python 1.0"...what does the "1.0" part mean?

I live in Colorado and we have a lot of Aspens here. Since the consensus seems to be that Aspen is the best substrate for snakes, I was wondering...would live tree branches or even actual small trees (seedlings or whatever) be ok for the snake to climb on? Is there any risk of any kind of...

I am just curious...what do baby corn snakes eat in the wild? I mean, I cant imagine that baby mice are easy to find or plentiful enough that baby snakes can stumble across them. And I have been told they dont eat insects...what do baby corn snakes eat in the wild?

I am new to Corn Snakes. I decided I want to transition out of fish and get a snake instead; I like fish a lot but they are just too much maintenance. After looking at the options I decided on a Corn Snake. I haven't bought one yet. I want to set up the Habitat first. I've looked around and...
