    Putting weight back on after an escape

    So my little guy got out in early November and despite my desperate attempts to find him, trying every trick in the book, for two months I couldn't find him. I felt for sure that the cat had somehow eaten him or he'd gone down the vent. Well, early this January I noticed what looked like fresh...

    EMERGENCY: Snake escaped in a house full of dogs and a cat

    So I went to check on Asha's tank this morning because it's feeding day, and he was nowhere to be found. I upended all the substrate, hides etc but he was definitely not in it. His tank is in a closed off room with a space heater and the door is only ever opened when I'm going to check on him...

    So I'm not going to deal with ZooMed anymore...

    I spent an hour arguing with someone on the phone this morning when trying to explain that my thermostat isn't working. She tried to tell me 1) That I need to be measuring ambient room temperature, not ground temperature and that 85 at ground temperature was not hot enough for a corn snake. 2)...

    Asha's Photo Dump Thread

    I really love photography and I'm juuuust getting the hang of photographing my new boy but I'm really having fun with it and thrilled at how bright he comes out in photos! He was sold to me as a Sunglow but I think he's just an amel, still I think he's spectacular <3 He wanted to be silly as...

    More heater problems... at my wits end!

    So I got a new thermostat for my UTH that was going a few degrees above healthy, it's a Zoo Med one that I got off of Amazon. I paid more than the price of the thermostat to have it shipped next day but figured it'd be worth it. I put Asha in his feeder bin and installed the thermostat, and...

    Heater problems... panicking a bit!

    So for the last 24 hours or so Asha's heater has been problematic... It was measuring 90.1 for a few hours yesterday and I was nervous but since I've heard 90 is the safe high I wasn't quite panicking yet. But last night right before bed it got up to 93 (after I spot cleaned his tank). Being...

    Will this stress him out?

    So I just got my boy on Monday and so far he's settling in well... I did handle him a bit much on the first two days but now he seems to have settled nicely and is enjoying his habitat. The room and table his tank rests on is my study table and I cleaned out the room with hopes of moving my...

    Problems with heater... and a few other newbie questions.

    So I'm a first time snake owner, I just brought home my new baby yesterday and for the most part things have been going smoothly... But I noticed that the under the tank heater I put on one side (an ExoTerra 8 watt "medium") is barely warm at all, and my boy's been almost without fail buried...

    Brand new snake owner here :)

    Hi everyone, I've been lurking the forums for a few days now but I just brought home my first scaled baby yesterday! He's a 2-3 year old Sunglow- they said he was about 60% grown and will mature at around 5 feet. I'm incredibly new to this and I'll probably be full of questions but for now...
