    Are double fuzzies OK?

    Can double fuzzies be used at any point in time? My fuzzies range from 6-9 grams. My snake is eating 7 gram fuzzies now, and I feel like I could move her to the 8-9 gram fuzzies. After moving her up to 8-9 gram fuzzies, if I don't want to buy hoppers, can I start feeding her a 6-7 gram fuzzy...

    Does my humid hide need to be dark, like a hide?

    I put a deli container in with my corn two days ago. She is all drab looking on her skin, and the eyes may be blue (hard to tell, she stays hidden) Since Saturday, the room humidity has been between 55-65% and I added a relatively clear (translucent) deli container with wet paper towels and a...

    Which scales are you buying to weigh your corns?

    I just started scale shopping. I have seen numerous suggestions made by forum members to get scales from places like WalMart, Target, or an office supply store. I am interested to know SPECIFICALLY which models you guys are using from these sources. I have yet to see one that measures down to...

    How do double pinkies FIT into the snake?

    The title is a bit vague for what I want to know. I was wondering how the lump looks when you feed double pinkies. Does the snake have a longer lump, or a fatter lump, or a combo of both? I made an illustration to help ask my question. Single File is one pinky at a time, in the order they...

    2" clay pot hides from Michaels $.69 ea

    It took her a day to warm up to these hides, but it seems that she loves them. She's been spotted in both of the new clay pots, and I haven't seen her go into the larger hides since. I may give her 2 more of the clay pots, and remove the others. I also bought 2 of the 3" pots from Michaels...

    Changing the hide position...

    When I first started, the coconut hide was on the cools side, and the larger hide was on the warm side. One day, I noticed my corn was choosing the cold hide early in the morning (she slept there apparently). To test a theory, I swapped the coconut with the larger hide. I wanted to see if she...

    Name suggestions: Sunglow Motley

    She's all of 6 months old and 14 grams. The first pic was moments after I put her in her new home (jan 26). The other three were taken yesterday, and she is definately settling in better each day. The lack of focus on the second picture was my fault. I had turned off the focus assist lamp on...

    Using a dimmer WITH a thermostat

    I added a thermostat to my existing UTH with dimmer. With just one day's worth of data, I am VERY happy with the results. It is a Leviton $10 dimmer from Home Depot, and a Zoo Med 500R thermostat which I got for $29 shipped through Amazon. When using the dimmer with thermostat, I am able to...

    Want to add thermostat probe, need some insight

    I have a snake living in this tank already. The UTH is controlled by a lamp dimmer right now, and it does a good job keeping it between 83-86 degrees so far. That being said, I wanted to take this a step further by adding a thermostat. I went ahead and ordered a Zoomed 500R (found one for $29...

    I wish corns came in BLUE, what about you?

    I want a royal blue colored corn. Lavendar is the closest thing I have seen, and that is more of a pink/red shade than a blue IMHO. I guess that only variations on a Normal corn as feasible at this time right? It would probably take genetic engineering to get a corn to produce blue if that's...

    I fear my snake isn't going to make it

    We got our son a 2 month old Corn on Nov 29th. The store fed him that day, and everything was GREAT. The following Sunday, we fed him, and he regurged. We waited a week and fed again...another regurge. So I put him on the zombie head dining plan. He had a pinkie head without regurge, so the...

    A question about temp probe placement

    Using a UTH, it is recommended by many to use a thermostat with probe attached to the bottom of the tank above the UTH center. I don't understand why we are taking our reading at this point. I have seen 10-15 degree differences in temperature between the bottom of the tank, and the top of the...
