I've heard that mineral oil is useful for sheds that don't come off all the way. When my snake had one I just soaked him in water which worked just fine but I imagine mineral oil would get it off in a heartbeat. What do you guys think about this? Thanks! :D

Here's some pics from Stimpy's meal 2 seconds ago:

Hi guys. I'm wondering whether or not it is safe to feed during shed. My snake was just recently in blue and should be shedding within a day or two but his regular feeding day came along. I've heard it's OK to feed a snake during blue as long as it doesn't refuse but I wasn't sure about post...

My snake has just gone into a blue within the past few days (I don't know the exact date because he was busy digesting so I never saw him till today) Anyways I've misted his cage several times and his humidity is good but I just want to offer a humid hide to make sure he has a decent shed. The...

Can you guys help me figure out what morph my snake is? I'm pretty sure he's charcoal. The pet store said he was a black albino but he has no yellow coloring, only pinks and purples. I hope you can tell from the pics but the coloring is kinda funny, as is with most photos. Thanks! :D

My snake is about 11 months old and I want to switch him to fuzzies. I'm wondering if I can just feed him 2 pinkies next feeding (saturday) and then transition him to fuzzies right after that. Is it safe to transition him that fast? I've been giving him 1 pinky every 7 days. What does everyone...

Here's some pics of my corn Stimpy relaxing on his log and in my hands. Hope you like 'em. :D

Ok. So I just bought an Exo Terra brand hygrometer dial. Stop me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it's a piece of crap. It doesn't seem to be monitoring humidity very well. Any thoughts on it's effectiveness? I'm thinking about buying a better thermometer with a probe because all I have right...

I've had my 10 month old ghost for about 3 weeks. I have a nailed down feeding schedule now (every saturday) and he's doing great. :D But last friday I noticed his eyes seemed to be getting blue. He ate fine on saturday and his eyes were even more cloudy and blue and I thought for sure he was...

I currently have a stick on thermometer in my snakes viv. I have had him a little over 2 weeks and have been reading that stick ons suck, and only measure ambient air temp. I have searched about 4-5 stores ( petcetera, local pet shop called animal house, wal mart, and a couple others) to get one...

Well my little buddy Stimpy and I were hanging out on my bed watching my cousin play video games and he was happily slithering around my hand and chest. He ventured down to the bottom of my shirt and went to explore inside it but not before leaving a big slimy dump on my shirt. Oh well at least...

I'm new to snake scene and I'm wondering how/where I should feed my snake. I feed him f/t to make sure there's no chance of injury although right now he's eating pinks so there's nothing to worry about. Should I feed him in a different container? I've heard that there is a risk of impaction if...

I've just recently bought a black albino. A week ago to be exact. He is about 10 months old and is about 14" long. He has a great temperament and he was very calm for the entire week. He seemed to be used to me after a couple days and i could pick him up without freaking him out at all but I...
