I've wanted a cat for a long time, and yesterday I adopted one from the shelter. I also have a 1.5 year old corn snake. I'm absolutely paranoid about the cat getting into the snake's viv. The lid is latched closed in a way that i believe requires opposable thumbs to open, but the top is wire...

Hi, I searched for an answer to this and couldn't find anything. I'm sorry if it's a repeat, or just a dumb question. I'm defrosting a fuzzy for my snake - the mouse is in a ziploc submerged in a cup of warm water. It's mostly defrosted and the mouse is covered in blood, which it wasn't when...

Hello! I bought a package of Fluker's "Purple Coleus" Repta-Vines at a pet store. Would it be safe to put these in a tank with my 10 month old corn? I only ask because the vine parts have some rough and pointy plastic bits and I'm not sure if my snake could damage her skin on them. Also, would...

hi, i'm about to look through the forums for similar posts, but i need to deal with this asap. my 6 mo old corn snake only shed half-way tonight. i noticed the humidity was low in her tank when she started shedding so i put some wet paper towels in a cup in there. she shed half-way, including...

hello! i have two questions: 1. i've had my corn snake since august. the pet store said she was 3 months old when i bought her. (i suspect she was younger, though, judging from pictures i've seen. it's kind of hard to tell.) regardless, i've been feeding her one pinky ever 5-7 days. she's grown...

what's the best way to spot-clean? i'm using paper towel as substrate but some of the waste has been getting on the bottom of the tank. i plan on ordering some nolvasan as has been recommended here, or seeing if i can find something comperable when i go to the pet store tommorow. but until then...

my snake shed for the first time since i've had her today. i caught it right when she was starting. all of the skin came off as far as i can tell - i didn't get a good look at the shed because she pooped while it was happening. made for a very easy clean-up, actually. it was all in the inside of...

granted, i might have just not seen her move. 3 month old snake, i got her a week and a half ago. fed her a pinkie for the first time on saturday and since then she's just been curled up in a corner by the heat pad under some paper towels (substrate). which seems about right to me. but i don't...

well, the first time since i've had her, anyway. i was planning on feeding my 3 mo old corn for the first time since i've had her today. i defrosted a pinkie in warm water (in a plastic bag) and took her out to put her in the feeding box. but it looks like she's going to shed. she's very pale...

heh. just a few more questions for those more experienced than i... i need to get a thermostat (i think?), but until i do the temp above a few layers of paper towel is 88 or 89 degrees directly above the UTH. is that too warm? also, that temp is the lowest i can get with my rheostat/UTH...

Hi! I'm just a newbie checking in with some questions. I've seen answers to similar questions posted here but I have some specific situations and I'm not sure what to do. I purchased a ~3 month old corn on Saturday. I'm going crazy trying to work out the heating situation. I started out with a...
