    how often can I feed a recovering snake?

    My 4.5 year old corn hasn't been eating well for quite sometime (due to stress, I'm certain - long story involving home renovations). She finally ate willingly 2 days ago and has been active and curious today. How frequently can I feed her in order to get her weight up to where it needs to be...

    Bathing/pooping/eating questions

    Well I read through a bunch of old posts about bathing, and it looks like many of you believe that bathing corns is not a good idea - or at least not neccessary. I'd be interested in hearing more opinions on this. I planned to give my yearling a bath tonight as it's been 6 days since she ate...

    a bit of a ham!

    Here is my Mika - I figured out my camera and finally got some decent photos. She is quite a joy! She has absolutely no fear and seems to love being handled. Here she is coming at me!

    poop questions

    my yearling ate her first full fuzzy last week, on Thursday. I have been looking in her viv and giving it the sniff test, but so far, no poop. Will my nose know immediately? When should I expect her to poop? (I know, I know - probably on my hand tonight when I hold her.) I know a lot of...

    first feed

    My '03 had her first fuzzy last night since we got her. She was pretty agitated when I took her out of her viv to handle her before feeding. So much so that I didn't handle her long. She seemed to be looking for something. She must have been HUNGRY. I put her in the feeding container and...

    strange question - breathing?

    When I was handling my new (and only) snake tonight, I noticed her body expanding and contracting. Don't ask me where along her body - she was wrapped around my hand at the time, but not moving otherwise. She was super active up and until that point, but I let her crawl back in her viv right...

    keeping the water fresh while on vacation?

    I will be on vacation for 7-10 days at the end of June, and NONE of my friends or family is willing to check on my snake (the big sissies). Is there anything safe I can put in the water to keep it fresh for my little corn while I'm gone?

    the proper way to pick up a corn?

    I handled my new corn for the first time last night. I am wondering what is the correct way to pick her up out of her viv, though. I removed her hide, put my hand low in front of her and let her smell it, then I gently picked her up with one hand and put her on my other hand. But I wonder if...

    New Corn - how alone do we really have to leave her?

    We just got our new little Motley girl today. She's an '03. None of us can stand not looking at her! Can we?? Or will seeing our big heads through the glass traumatize her?

    Hey Arson - is today the day?

    I'm waiting for the UPS man, and I think I read that you are expecting your snake today, too. WOO HOO! Post up when you get her, and I'll do the same.

    Rheostat?

    I have the probe of my thermometer directly on the glass over the UTH and the temp is reading a whopping 106.5!! I guess I need a rheostat? Is this like a dimmer switch? Where can I get one of these and will it work on an extension cord? My snake is arriving tomorrow and I may not have the...

    Largest corn you've ever seen?

    My mother is horrified that I am getting a snake. I have to admit that I get some pleasure out of that... ;) She was asking how large my snake will get and I started wondering about the variability of the sizes of captive corns. So how long is your largest corn, or the largest corn you've ever...

    first corn: baby or adult?

    We are reading up and getting ready for our first Corn Snake. We were planning to get a brand new hatchling later in the summer, but I am wondering if we would be smarter to get a Corn that is a year old. What do you experienced folks recommend?

    Snake Habitats

    Hi, I'm in the preliminary stages of researching Corn Snakes. It was my 9-year-old daughter's idea, but after 2 days of heavy internet browsing (much of it on this message forum), I'm completely enamored with the idea of getting one! I'm hoping to get a hatchling in August, so we have plenty...
