Here is a photo I took last time I fed Maxx. I know a lot of people here say not to feed "multiple items" - however, I only have one snake and order my mice in bulk (50 each) from another city. So, as Maxx grows I end up moving him up to two mice at a time till I get the next size. Since he was...

I just moved Maxx up from hoppers to small adult. He is approximately 37in and 1 year old. I feed him one mouse each Sunday. The problem is that the "small adult mice" are smaller than I thought... they are about 90% the the size of the thick part of his body. I'm worried that I may not be...

was just reading another thread and saw that you are not supposed to feed two fuzzies at once unless you are transitioning to a larger size and then it's okay to do it a few times... OOPS. I purchased 25 fuzzies and 25 hoppers from Big Cheese Rodent. MAXX can eat a fuzzy and barely show it so...

Hi, my first cornsnake (Maxx) is about 6-7 months old now. 18 inches, eating fuzzies. I have some friends at the office that would love to see him. Is it a major thing to transport the snake to work for a morning visit? How old should he be before I attempt this?

first time corn owner question. I have a 6 month old corn. He is in a professional snake viv that is pretty much escape proof. We need to visit our family for the holidays from Dec 26-29th. It is 4 hours away. I don't have anyone to watch my snake for me. Will he be okay home alone for 3...

I'm about to feed Maxx his first fuzzy tomorrow. His last two feedings have been two pinkies and he kept them down no problem. I just want to make sure these are not too big (I'm new at this). So, since I'm a webmaster and I have access to digital camera's and graphic programs I used a tripod...

Well, Maxx did his first shed (for us) last night. I couldn't believe how fast it happened. I saw him out and moving at 10pm and when I came back 40 minutes later there was the skin in one perfect piece. I was happy to see that I did not have to deal with any stuck skin on the tail or eyes. I...

my wife says that before I start stocking the kitchen freezer with bags of 50 pinkies she would prefer I look into a small freezer for just that purpose... what do you guys do?

I'm a new snake owner (two weeks) and also have two dogs. I've been keeping the dogs out of the office (snakes room) when I take my snake out. How do others handle these two pets. I'm guessing snakes would definately see dogs as predators and freak out. Likewise, my dogs will attack anything...

I travel to Oklahoma City once a month - it would be convenient to locate a good/cheap rodent supplier in Oklahoma City... does anyone know of one? thanks

If I decide to feed Maxx more food, should I move up to two pinkies or just buy one larger mouse?

I just got my first corn. He is 15 inches and I'm told 5 months old. The pet store only fed him once a week. I plan on feeding him one pinkie every five days. Is that enough? I read on one website that when they are hungry they will start going around the viv like they are looking for something...

Just got my first Corn on Saturday. I'm 40 yrs old and the last time I had a snake was when I was 16 (a garter snake that I only had for a month). Now that I've given you the background let me tell you what the situation is and what my questions are. We bought a 5 month old Corn that is about...
