So this has pretty much been a week of hell for poor Sebby, my 2 year old corn (and me too!) He had refused a feed, and with him being a fussy feeder, my usual practice is to leave him completely alone for a week then offer him one again, so i didn't notice a small burn had appeared on his neck...

So a guy contacted me about a little corn snake and said he didn't want him any more. He mentioned he looked a little scruffy and so i went to collect him. I got him home and checked him over to find he was very dehydrated - he had no water or hides! He was said to not be feeding and was still...

So i recently rehomed a female corn snake who is very nervous. I left her to settle in then started handling her this last week. She's only bitten me twice but she's very stressed and tense the entire time. I've been handling her for 20 minutes daily for a week in the hope she'd get a little...

So i picked up two new corns and they are just the cutest! They are a teeny bit chubby though - not excessively, but when i hold them i can feel they are more fat than muscle. I'm ideally gonna use the two as part of a breeding project a good few years down the line, so i'd like to increase...

So i picked up my little female today - Im guessing her to be a yearling and she was sold to me as possibly either a snopal or a snow. Her last owner said people were 50/50 on her when he checked her out. What do you think? She had literally just shed in these photo's as decided to shed and...

So i've been reading up on substrates, trying to find one i can bulk buy cheaply and use for my corn snakes. I came across megazorb and i've been wondering if its all right for corn snakes - in particular juveniles (5/6 months) as well as an adult. I'm aware it will need to be cleaned regualarly...

I've been following the Medusa feeding chart and my 8 little guys are ready to start having 2 pinkies - they're the right size, looking for more food once they've eaten their single one and the pinkies are looking a too small for them now. I've never fed 2 mice in one feed before and i was...

Im making a new 2-tier vivarium for my adult from a bookcase. My question is, what substrate can i use? I want to have a kind of digging area and a non-substrate area in both tiers. Both sections will have hides in, and the hides will be filled with shredded kitchen roll for warmth/comfort...

I have my 28" corn (who is very small for his age) living in a glass tank at the moment which gets too humid and looses heat far too fast in a very cold house. I can't afford a wooden viv, but i have been offered a spare bookcase that would be an ideal project, but i wanted to check its...

So Sebby loves climbing on the thermostat probe wire and while that exploring is good for him, it moves the probe which sets off the thermostat temperature alarm. You may have noticed that your snake also loves to climb things in the enclosure and likes to investigate new things. I wanted to get...

I fed the 4-month olds today which went fabulously. They've only been here a week and 7 out of 8 have eaten! My problem is, i offered a mouse to a little guy and he snapped it right up - then he shed. I would never feed a snake in shed, but i was told by my pet shop and a breeder to offer it...

Just had to share this comparison photo and thought it would be cool to see if you guys have any :)

The heatmat in my 2 year old corn snakes viv has developed cold patches and i've been wondering about switching to heating his basking spot with a cermaic bulb instead. My house gets very cold at night so he'd need the heat on at night and since i dont like the red bulbs, i'd prefer a ceramic...

I have eight 4 month old babies who i purchased on the 10th of this month. Four of them are in shed so they won't be fed till this weekend to make sure they're settled in and finished shedding. So since i have time to prepare i have a few questions to make sure i get this right. Should be...

Got my 8 late june/early july hatch babies home today - i just had to share some of the photos i took for their record sheets! I have no idea on names yet either :3 They're still settling in so i cant handle them yet. Also they're currently between 9 and 17g - is this normal for 4 month olds?:3

So i decided to build my own snake rack for the 8 hatchlings im taking on - but i was on a budget! I spent less than £60 in total! I first took a set of shelves i happened to be given by someone, though you can buy these for around £15 in charity shops or second hand furniture sales - the snake...

So i'm soon to pick up 8 baby corn's for a behavioural research project on spatial learning for my dissertation - no one is gonna be harmed at all! All the snakes are around 4 months or so and i've never housed snakes that young or in those numbers! I got my current guy when he was nearly a...

So im soon to pick up 8 baby corn's for a behavioural research project (im researching spatial learning for my dissertation so no one is gonna be harmed at all!) The parents are an anerythristic female and a hypomelanistic motley male (i don't know their backgrounds yet). Im a little confused...

Sebastian is a Jan '11 hatch - making him around 22 months old, and i was told by a friend + local pet shop that he is too small for his age and too underweight. I tried to measure him again just now and he is around 28 inches (Hard to straighten him out!). I weigh him on digital kitchen...

My 17 month old corn snake is currently in an 18" terrarium but i was given a 3ft vivarium recently thats just been sat around getting in my way. Would i be ok moving him to the larger vivarium now or would it be just that bit too soon? He's around 22 inches long now :) this is his current...
