    My female corn is laying eggs right now

    Hi, I'm a total beginner. My 5-year old female, never mated in her life, stopped eating about a month ago, and after some very weird behaviour (baths in her water bowl over the past week or so and a shedding about 1 week ago) I woke up to her laying eggs this morning. All I need to know what...

    3y old female refused food

    Hi all, Trying to be as short as possible. My 3year old Elsa refused her little rat today - for the first time since she was a baby. Never ever has she refused food. Always ravenous and crazy when in her feeding box. Today she didn't even look at the food. She's been quite active over the past...

    Small soft lump lateral from cloaca on female corn

    Hi all, My Elsa, looks healthy, eats, poops, shed completely, now last night, after I collected her poop (2 days after her feed) I noticed a small lump on her side, just in parallel with her cloaca. I'm concerned and I'm thinking to take her to the vet. She has never laid eggs/slugs, no mating...

    Going on vacation

    Hi folks, We are going on vacation and will be aways until July 17. My Elsa (corn) has just eaten a few days ago but now she's going into the blue so I can't feed her before leaving on June 30. I would think that she will be OK as long as I provide enough water and a humid hide. What do you...

    Misaligned jaw after feeding

    Elsa had a mouse today for dinner and after she swallowed it completely she kept opening her mouth and trying to adjust her jaw/bite. I had a close look at her and it looks like the left lower jaw is not aligned well at the front half - like it has a small kink in it. She's now in her warm hide...

    She bit me! Did I hurt her?

    I was trying today to help my daughter feed Elsa. She had the fuzzy in the thongs, but was not reaching in front of Elsa. So Elsa got in this feeding frenzy and not knowing the nice food smell is coming from she stroke the closest she saw around, meaning my finger. I reacted by getting startled...

    Eating the mouse tail first

    Is this normal? Elsa is so determined to eat every time I feed her, that there is no way pulling the fuzzy away to have her strike again closer to the head. And today she stroke at the butt and it went in butt first. Anything to worry about?

    Poop happens!

    I didn't wait for the 48h post-feeding poop today. I was to eager to handle Elsa. So we were relaxing on my bed and I noticed that she kept contracting mid/body in an 'S' shape a few times. And there you had it. A textbook-like glorious poop that managed to get on my t-shirt and on my duvet...

    Plastic plants and cuts

    Hi everyone, I found a small scratch on Elsa's skin on the side of her neck. I applied some Polysporin and now it is healing nicely - can barely notice it. I discovered it after she spent a full day in her plastic plant decoration. Decided to take that decoration out as it has a lot of sharp...

    I really need to take some close-ups of Elsa's head - she's a sweetie!

    Feeding question - 2 mice vs. more often?

    According to the Munson Scale, my bloodred Elsa (35g) should eat 7-9g fuzzies every 5-6 days. She ate Wednesday night (we are Sunday now), pooped like clockwork after 48h and since then she's cruising every night in her cage. I weighed her again today and she's 34g. When I put the fuzzies I've...

    Handling- how often? for how long?

    How often should we handle our 5-month old Elsa? She is not aggressive and she calms easily when handled by me or by my daughter. She sometimes rests curled on my arm around my fitbit for minutes without trying to flee. Except for the golden rule to not handle 48h after feeding, is it OK to...

    Hello from Hamilton, ON, Canada

    Hi all, I'm a mom to 7-year old daughter Ruxandra and her beloved 5 1/2 month old blooded Elsa. While I have a snake phobia and jump out of my skin every time I come across a garter snake in our garden, I fell in love with Elsa. She has been with us for 2 weeks now, and has already eaten twice...
