Since around Christmas '09, my 3 year old had some peeled spot on her head. (It's hard to describe but think of your skin getting sunburned on one spot and all the skin is basically peeling in the direction away from the sunburned spot.) I inspected it and it looks to me that her epidermal...

Amber is about 2 years old now and she is more than capable of eating a rat. Actually, she ate a rat a few times before but I think those times were just sheer luck when she took it. I also attempted to defrost a mouse and rat together in one bag and she still refuses the rat. She'll sense a...

I can understand being active but my snake is extremely hyperactive. She tends to jump from time to time from a few inches. She also jolts and twitches. I'm hoping she's ok . Can anyone tell me if this is a normal behavior? Or if she's just going through a phase? She looks like she's about to...

I was feeding Amber today and then she accidently bit my hand. As a reflex [like anyone else], I jerked my hand and she flew a few inches and landed from a 3 foot fall. She's only about a year old and is about 17 inches. Quite young I must say. I got so upset that I dropped her. I thought that...

I haven't been watching Amber much lately because I've been so busy lately but she was in her blue period last week. However, over this weekend, her skin is new and her skin is bright and new. Problem is...I don't see her old skin hanging around anywhere in the terrarium. I asked anyone in my...

She just shedded out of her skin a few hours ago but now she's resting but every now and then, she has very short spazms. Please help! I don't know why she's doing this...

For Amber, she's a lazy and bored lil snake in her ter by just hiding in her lil tree. However, today, after I fed her, she became so hyperactive and jittery that it was hilarious :grin01: . I thought it was like a Jekyll & Hyde thing haha. When I tried to turn off the light, she came out and...

My 6 month amel Amber has half of her body shed removed. So far, it's her 2nd day. Her first day, she only had a 1/3 shedded off. I'm assuming that shedding takes a few days process. But I'm concerned about her shed. How long does it take for a snake to shed? And isn't the skin supposed to come...

I know snakes are supposed to have a huge lump in their body from eating but Amber has a very weird bump compared to the previous time I've fed her. Her bump isn't a smooth subtle one. It's more like a beer belly. Her body is straight smooth and then there's a sudden curve of the feed bump...

:shrugs: Well, I've heard this from my dad because he read it from an article but come to think of it...I'm only just curious. Do brighter colors of a captive bred snake mean a shorter lifespan due to diseases during breeding? [or something like that] I have an amelanistic corn and her colors...

I've heard and read that bright, vibrant colors of a captive bred corn snake meant that it will have a short lifespan due to diseases from breeding or something along those lines... I thought that bright patterns meant that it was a healthy snake. I have an amelanistic corn. Not sure if that...

People say that they could even live under the light and warmth of a flourescent lightbulb. Also, Amber is albino and I think it might be harmful for her. On the other hand, the pet store owners use UV [UVB I think] lights and suggest that I should use them. Is that true? I don't always listen...

This is my first time taking care of a corn snake and I've read books about them saying that I should feed them once a week. So far, Rose hasn't eaten in a month! My Tank Temp. High is 86 degrees F and Humidity is usually at 55%. She isn't too skinny however. Am I doing anything wrong?

Hi I recently got a corn snake and this is my first time taking care of a corn snake but not my first to take care of a snake. I've already read a book on corns but it doesn't seem to help me much so I'll pretty much need advice. I'll just list info about my corn and get right onto the problem...
