Hi, everyone. I am having a bit of a problem. Zanjibil's tank lid is broken. The screen at the top is tearing off. I was keeping it closed and holding it down with a rolled towel and some heavy objects, but the screen has been steadily weakening, and now it's completely broken and Zanji has...

Hi, everyone. I am wondering about something I found yesterday when cleaning Zanjibil's cage. It was stuck to his heat mat and looked like it was probably dried feces, but it was weirdly fuzzy, so I wasn't sure, and put it aside in a bag. When I later pulled it apart (while wearing gloves, of...

It's been awhile, so I just want to check in with some new pics of my little fellow, who is not so little anymore. While I was visiting my sister in London for Xmas, he had his third shed since coming to live with me, and I was happily surprised to see how much he'd grown when I returned.

I thought of it as a rite of passage the first time my lovely Zanjibil shed with me. I was happy he shed so well because it meant he was healthy and growing. He's shed once more since, and really seems to be getting bigger. He's getting so strong, in fact, that yesterday saw what I think of as...

I recently purchased a heat pad for Zanjibil, since it's going to get cooler here pretty soon. It is from Reptapets, and it is 20 watts and about the size of a third of his viv. I plugged it in to check it out, and was surprised to find that it does not seem to give off very much heat at all. I...

I apologize for flooding the forum with questions lately. I have another question about Zanjibil. Just recently I noticed his nostrils are looking a bit pink. I don't know if this is a detail of his coloring I have not noticed before, a small change following his first shed a few weeks ago, or...

The organization I work for does workshops with kids, and part of one of their programs involves bringing in different kinds of animals and talking about the responsibilities involved in taking care of them. I have been discussing with management the possibility of bringing Zanjibil. I think...

A couple days ago, I posted some new pics of my Zanjibil. Two of them showed him eating, and a few people commented that I should move him up to larger prey items. He is a year and a couple months old, and I have been feeding him two pinkies at a time since I got him in July. When I got him...

A few cute pics of Zanjibil. A couple show him eating. As he often does, he started by trying to eat his mouse sideways, till I nudged it into a more reasonable position for him. Then there are some of him using his branch to stretch across his viv in mid-air. He may not have special coloring or...

My Zanj's first shed with me! His new skin is so soft, and he's back to his old cheerful, active self.

After concluding that Zanj might be bored without something to slither up and down and perch on, I got him this nice branch thingy. He was a little cautious at first, but now he's lounging up there digesting his latest meal.

I'm sure he isn't the first to imitate a headpiece. I tried telling him he was making us both look ridiculous, but when does he ever listen? ;)

Since Zanj has begun to come out of his hide more and more, I am starting to worry about how his viv is put together. I don't know why I didn't think in more detail about this when I bought it (from the same guy I got Zanjibil from). I was more worried about the basics, like making sure it was...

Here is Zanj during a recent emergence from his hide. I consider this a bit of a breakthrough because he used to stay there all the time unless I had him out to eat or play (during which he never seemed stressed or anything, happily). Just this week, he's become relaxed enough to explore his viv...

Last night I was reading and getting ready to sleep when I heard a noise from Zanjibil's viv. I looked over to find my little friend--who up till now had (as far as I know) never moved out of his hide except when I take him out to eat or exercise--with his tail in the water dish and his head and...

Stumbled on an old thread about snake-related nightmares a couple days ago, and what does my brain decide to do but produce horrible anxiety dreams about my poor Zanjibil, two nights in a row. First, we were being chased by Random Motiveless Men With Guns (dream logic, they don't need a...

A few pics I took while Zanj was out exercising today... not long before he elected to use my bedspread as a restroom. :awcrap:

This is Zanjibil ("Ginger" in Arabic) when I took him out yesterday. A few hours later, he ate his first meal in his new home. I guess my plan to get him good and hungry by playing with him must have worked. ;)

Hello to all.I am a first-time corn snake owner. I am from the US, but I live and work in the Palestinian Territories, in the city of Ramallah. "Zanjibil" is my new friend. He is a year old and very pretty, but too shy for pics at the moment. Only had him five days, and he's been curled up in...
