Here's a cute photo of little A.J. peeking out from under her newspapers--I managed to actually get a halfways decent shot of her with my somewhat crappy digital camera. She's actually 8 months old today--happy birthday, little corn!

Hi everyone! I'm so excited I wanted to share this with everyone! This morning when I checked on little A.J. I found this perfectly A.J.-shaped shed skin in her cage! Woo-hoo!! Although I think the very tip of her tail might still be on her. I think I'll follow Nanci's wonderful post on...

Whew--do I feel relieved!! For a while now I've been worried that my little A.J. wasn't going to shed. For the past week her colors were really dull and waxy-looking, and on Wednesday I noticed her eyes were really cloudy, and she's been hiding under her shavings a lot. Well, today her colors...

I've had little A.J. for two months now, and so far she hasn't shed yet, and I'm a bit nervous. She's doing great otherwise--eating two pinkies every six days, drinking water, and pooping like clockwork every three days. She's six months old, and growing, too--she started out at 15 grams when...

Hi guys, After doing some reading I'm a little nervous about something. Being that my little A.J. is a candy cane corn and has red eyes--will a UVA/UVB light hurt her eyes? I know that corns are nocturnal and don't need lights in their cages, but since her cage is in a dark room that doesn't...

Hey guys, I couldn't seem to find the answer to this one by searching the threads, so here goes: is it safe to use a layer of newspaper over a Zoo Med heat mat mounted to the bottom of a glass cage? The only reason I'm asking is that in the instructions for the heat mat they say you have to...

Hi everyone, I've been spending some time with my little candy cane A.J. getting her used to handling--and so far she's doing great! On Saturday I was sitting on the couch and let her explore--she seemed very curious, not scared at all, and stayed sitting in my lap for a good 10 minutes or so...

Hey everyone! I finally got a decent picture of A.J.--my little four-month old candy cane corn. Here she is!

:crazy02:Hooray!! I've had my little candy cane corn A.J. for four days now, and today was the very first day I fed her--in fact the first time I've ever fed a snake in my life!! I was nervous at first, but I very gently picked her up and put her in her deli cup inside her cage and put a thawed...

Today was a very big day today--my very first baby corn snake arrived!! She's a four-month old candy cane, and I named her AveryJean--A.J. for short! I'm so excited I can barely contain myself! As soon as I opened the box she was looking right at me from inside her little cup, her little tongue...

Hi everyone! Ok, I've got my very first snake home all set up: here's a photo. I'm getting very excited--as soon as I get my order of mice from Rodent Pro--hopefully by the end of this week--I can get my corn snake! I was wondering what everyone thought of my setup. I've had it set up for a...

I've been doing some reading on how to clean a snake enclosure, and I'm thinking of going with either Nolvasan (which is quite expensive) or vinegar to clean my future snake's home, as I'm too nervous using bleach. I was just wondering how much water you use to dilute each with to fill spray...

Hi everyone! I'm so excited I wanted to share this with you all. Today I went on a shopping spree for corn snake supplies! First I ordered a Herpstat ND digital thermostat online. Then I went out and got a 20L Critter Cage, ZooMed Reptitherm 10-20g under tank heater, an 8-qt bag of Aspen...

Hi guys, I've been doing some reading and starting to make a list of what I'll need for my new corn snake before I get him/her--and I'm a little confused as to heating. I've decided I'm going to use a 20 gallon Critter Cage as a home for my future corn, and from what I've read so far heat mats...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any members from NJ would know if I'm able to get a corn from an out of state breeder shipped into NJ? I'm not sure what the rules are on that--I couldn't really find anything about it online. I thought I'd give it a shot and ask before I call the state wildlife...

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to this forum and just starting out getting ready for my very first corn snake! I'm excited to learn all I can before I get my new family member. I'm a big-time animal lover and currently my family includes my greyhound Brode, a betta named Paulie, a 29-gallon...
