It seems to me that there are a lot more posts this summer than there were last summer regarding snakes in poor health (maybe it's just my poor memory however). I'm wondering if there are just more new corn snake owners, or just more people aware of sites such as this. Regardless, for those...

when i transferred my corn to a rubbermaid container, i couldnt get the temps to stay in the 80's, always around 72 (in the winter, not a problem anymore). I really cant figure out what the problem was as i followed the instructions of several others. I noticed that this slowed down her...

It's been a while since I posted, but last summer i bought my first corn snake. Now i've decided to purchase another, and i'm thinking of a butter motley. So i go to rich's site and realize he has a sale (now 40%). unfort i have to spend $300 (butter mot $150). So now i'm in a pickle, i can...

With so many people asking questions of "when can i increase food size etc" Perhaps some pics similar to pg 26 in the manual but of hatchlings or yearlings would be helpful in addition to the advice of 1-1.5x girth of snake. If anyone has a pic of 1)minimal distending (feed it more!)...

I reread the cornsnake manual on feeding (pg 21) and it's talking about how baby snakes can eat 2-3x per week. I recall reading a few posts on this site where if you overfeed a baby snake "bad things can happen in the future." What are these bad things? Also what is overfeeding? I know that...

i'm planning on aquiring my first corn shortly and thought it logical to set up its home to fix any of the kinks b4 i got the snake. I Have a heating pad setup with a rheostat. I have a tile that is about as thick as a pencil between the UTh and the rubbermaid. After having the heating pad on...

did a quick search and did not come up with anything.... Same question as yesterdays :) But darin added a very nice question, how about a pic too :) thanks, travis

does such a thing exist? If so how common/rare is one? thanks travis

Went to a few pet stores yesterday just to check out supplies for a viv, feeder mice prices etc. etc. Well at one of the pet stores they had half a dozen or so hatchlings. I've seen several pics but until i saw them in "real" life i just couldn't believe how tiny they are. (i'm quite...

I did search for this and found some things, but want to make sure i successfully combined info from various posts. As my subject indicates, i plan on using a tupperware container instead of a glass aquarium. Ok, so i buy a heat pad that will cover roughly 1/3 of the bottom of the container...

ok here's the deal. I've been lurking on this site for about a year now. I figured if the urge to get a snake was still with me by summer 03 i would get one. I've read the corn snake manual, and as mentioned b4 check out this site often. THe only thing holding me back is that i dont know a...

well, first of all i'd like to say this is a really neat forum. I first stumbled across it a few months ago, visited it often. Then i just started checking it out recently again. The only info i know on snakes has come from websites. Does anyone know some titles of "must reads" for a corn...
