    Another black rat snake

    I saw this guy while riding on the Little Miami bike trail in Cincinnati yesterday. Looked to be about 3-1/2 feet long. Sent him on his way so no one would run him over.

    smooth green snake

    My nephew in-law's wife caught and took these pics of a smooth (?) green snake she caught in the summer. She lives near Natural Bridge KY (in the same area where I took the pics of "Kentucky Copperhead" last year). I have always wanted to find one of these in the wild and now that I know they...

    Black rat

    My brother took this pic today while riding on a bike trail north of Cincinnati. I've never seen a snake with this many "undulations", if that is a good term. Could there be something wrong with it?

    garter snake on island in Canada

    My grandfather purchased a small 4 acre island on Lake of the Woods Ontario Canada and built a small one room cabin on it in the 1940s. Since then his family, kids, great grandkids and great great grandkids have been going there on vacation, mostly for fishing and relaxation. I just got back...

    black snake in bird house

    My friend that lives on a small farm took this pic. He said this black snake made it around the netting he put up under the bird house to deter snakes. Obviously it did not work this time as he said the snake ate two baby blue birds that were inside. I told him he has to take the good with the...

    Kentucky copperhead

    While at my mother in law's house the day before Mother's Day, I found this copperhead between some corrugated steel sheets in the woods. Just after that I stumbled across a 3 ft black snake but didn't get any pics 'cuz it slithered away so fast.

    black rat snake

    So after dinner last night I decided to take a walk at the abandoned golf course near my house. The course has been closed for more than 20 years but the city maintains parts of it for walking trails. Not more than 15 feet from a golf cart path I spot what looked like a black irrigation hose. As...

    Just not hungry or in the mood for love?

    First a little background: I've had my male Amel for a year and a half. He was 5 years old when I got him from a breeder. The breeder said he always fed him live mice so that is what I've done for the past 1-1/2 years. He is 58" long and weighs 822 grams. He has always eaten very well. The last...

    Young black snake

    A guy at work caught a young black snake today. At least I think it's a young black snake. I'll post pics of it in a couple days. Its about 8" long. I'm considering keeping it as a pet. (I have a 5 year old corn too.) Question-do black snakes require belly heat like corns or overhead heat from a...

    slithered out of his skin and right back in!

    last night I watched my 5 y/o Amel shed his skin from start to finish. The skin came off in 3 pieces: about 4" of the front, then about a 48" piece, then the last 2" of tail. When completely out of the skin, I watched him circle around in his viv and then he went right back into 48" piece of the...

    "squeaking" sound

    I've had my 4 ft, 5 year old Okeetee corn for about 2 1/2 months now. He feeds very well and seems very healthy. He seems to love being handled and has never bitten. However the last few times I've handled him I've heard a very faint, very occasional "squeak" coming from around his head. It...

    Granite acrylic 'aquariums"

    Hi, Does anyone have any experience with the "granite acrylic" aquariums that Big Apple Pet Supplies sells? I'm thinking about getting a 65 or 70 gallon size for my 4 ft long Cornelius. http://www.bigappleherp.com/Big-Apple-Pro-Series-Granite-Acrylic-Cages I like the fact that it is front...

    New member - Cornelius

    Hi, Just found this website-very cool! I've had snakes since I was a kid (I'm 57 now:eek:) but 6 weeks ago I got my first corn-named him Cornelius :). He's 5 years old, a little more than 4 ft long and I think he's what is called a Amelanistic Okeetee phase. Once I figure out how to posts pics...
