    Just wanna say..

    You guys ROCK! So here's the story: Our snake, Estaban, managed to escape from his viv through sheer stupidity on our part (we were showing him to the neighborhood kids and through all the commotion, didn't check to see if the viv lid was closed all the way). So the first thing we do is jump to...

    Too many hides?

    So my sister and I are having a discussion about how Esteban seems to be getting a little thick around the lower part. He's only about 7 months old and from the searches I've done in this forum, I get the impression that it's almost impossible for cornsnakes to get fat until after they've become...

    Snakes on a spaceship!

    So I've been watching episodes of Battlestar Galactica on iTunes for the past week or so. One of the episodes had a scene in which the President starts hallucinating and sees all these snakes on her mike stand. For a minute there I was a bit confused about her fearful reaction - I mean, it was...

    For me to poop on!

    I am happy to announce that I have become an official member of the 'Pooped On By My Snake' club. Esteban (the snake in question) felt it was time, and I agreed with him. Needless to say, the induction ceremony was unexpected and very smelly. ps. Title is from Triumph the dog, and it's the...

    Outsmarted by my corn

    I like to check the viv at least once during the day and once at night. Sometimes I pull out Esteban to handle him (usually at the end of the day), but mostly I check where he is and then leave him alone. So today I was digging through the aspen, looking for Esteban, and I couldn't find him...

    The Other Esteban ;)

    Just picked up the Nikon today and am still learning how to use it :) Managed to take a few shots of Esteban before sis decided he's had too much excitement for one day. I spent the rest of the night showing her and my friend how to do trick photography (the swirly flashlights in the dark trick...

    Little detail..

    I wasn't sure what to use a search term for this so I'm going to risk it and ask straight out: My sister and I are trying to figure out whether one pinkie is enough or not (we're going the two pinkies before moving up route). So here's my question: Since it's not a good idea to bother the snake...

    Unusual Viv backgrounds

    So here's the deal. I'm looking for a good background for the viv - I'd like something unusual since it's going to be more for my aesthetics rather than Esteban's (the snake). I'm curious to know if anyone here has unusual viv backgrounds, not the usual stuff they sell for aquariums/terrariums...

    Nikon vs Canon - a request

    I know I know, everyone is getting tired of this comparison but I'm sort of stuck on which one to get, the Nikon D50 or the Canon Rebel XT (350 I think). The clincher for me would be how well the camera will photograph the snake. If anyone photographed their snake with either camera, would you...

    Escaped or hiding? Advice needed

    Alright, so here's tbhe deal: We just got the snake on Tuesday. And we agreed not to handle him until Saturday or Sunday. I broke down and held him briefly yesterday when changing the water (btw, is Britta filtered water ok? It's what I drink). So my sister is in school and I look into the...

    Belated intro :)

    Hi! I've already posted a few times in the forum but I didn't want to properly introduce myself without having a snake. I'm proud to announce that we got our first corn snake (sunglow motley) yesterday :) Since putting him in the viv he has: soaked in the smaller water dish on the cool side...

    How hardy are these snakes?

    I've been reading the forums for the past week or so to prepare for our new snake (arriving this Tuesday by my calculations). This is all new to me, and my sister is the primary caretaker of this pet. However, as is the case with most of her projects, I find myself getting sucked in despite...

    Not sure where else to ask this..

    In a lot of pics I see the younger snakes in tupperware/plastic tubs. I'm curious, are these pics being taken before/after feeding (more likely before, since I don't think people like to disturb their snakes after a feeding), or are these tubs their temporary homes until they grow big enough to...
