I didn't want to post this in the photo gallery because this is a corn snake site, but I couldn't resist sharing this photo of one of the many tiny ringneck snakes that I regularly find around my house. This is a typical one. The bottom is red, as is the ring around the neck. The longest I've...

I've got a feeling he's gonna be a big snake.

Okay, here you go all you fans of Rocco (my 3 mo. old Kathy Love Okeetee). He just had his second shed and I thought you might be interested to see his growth and color development. I am attaching one picture that was taken a month ago, one that was taken a week ago - before shed, and some we...

Here are some pictures of "Rocco" a male baby Okeetee. He is just shy of 3 mo. old. He has yet to have his second shed. You can see how much he has grown in the last month. The last picture of the bunch was taken one month ago, the rest are from today.

O.k. this might be a stupid question, but what is the meaning of the numbers people put next to their snakes? ie. 0.1 okeetee, 1.1 miami phase etc. I'm a bit new to the forum and am learning the lingo. Thanks.

How much handling is too little to sufficiently socialize your snake (get him used to people), how much is too much (that stresses him out unnecessarily).

Can anyone give me an estimate on how long it takes a pinkie to defrost at room temperature of 80 degree fahrenheit? Assume that the pinkie is just placed in a plastic feeding area, not in water.

I just received my baby Okeetee (unnamed as of yet) from Kathy Love. I have left him to settle in in the tank now for three days and nights as she suggests in her book. He his been hiding most of the time and only venturing out to explore for a few minutes each day. Tomorrow I am going to be...

I previously posted a picture of "skimmer" and asked for input. Many responded. To my shock, only one of you turned out to be correct. That was a 15 yr old gent from Port St. Lucie (5 miles up the road from me). He said it was a juvenile black racer, and HE WAS RIGHT! I couldn't believe it...

I need your opinions on what type of corn this is, if a corn at all. I found him in my skimmer (thus named him skimmer). He is a hatchling, handles well, eats lizards. The first half of his body is very corn-like. Blotches - deep maroon, grey backround, the last half is very gray with...

My daughter has been asking for a snake for some time. I live in Southeast Fla, (about 2 hrs no. of Miami). As fate would have it I found my new snake in our pool skimmer. I've had him for 2 weeks and he is eating lizards. I have named him "skimmer." I am interested to know what y'all...
