Just noticed on a stock list over here in the UK someone's listing "Albino Slowinski's Cornsnakes". Seeing as I've already had one negative experience buying hybrids-as-Kisatchies, is my suspicion that these are second-generation hybrid KisatchieXAmel Corn likely to be correct? Or has...

I got these two snakes some time back, and I'm wondering - since I can't find photos of animals KNOWN to be what I bought them as that look like them - whether these two are actually what I thought I was buying. I won't mention what I bought them as... could anyone here please tell me what...

First things first, this snake is located in the United Kingdom. I cannot ship to any USA or European locations, but figured as there are UK members on here, maybe someone might be interested. Fusion is an '07 radiated ratsnake, captive-bred to my knowledge, and approximately three to three and...

I've currently got babies hatching out from two sets of parents, one pair of whom have the potential to produce glaciers (snopal) and snows, the other appear to have the potential to produce snows and coral (hypo) snows. Could someone who's produced definite animals of these morphs please post...

Right, first and foremost, I'm not talking about the commercially marketed chicken/beef with vitamin supplements sausages. I don't believe those were necessarily nutritionally complete, and certainly not the equivalent of a whole dead prey item. What I'm wondering is if anyone has ever...

My first baby corns - the little Anery stripe was the first to come out, and I-think-it's-she has small hate for me. Two more little anery noses are poking out; I think one of them is another stripe, but I don't know for sure. Everyone cross fingers that there will be a glacier stripe male in...

Just doing a bit of enquiring, because I really wanted the ingredients to make myself Topaz (Lava caramel) hopefully with pattern morphs - and unrelated striped bloods. I'm in the UK, and had plans to do an import of a few corns of specific genetics via a member of another forum. Through no...

Just a bit of curiosity, really - I know I've asked this on another forum, but I cannot find anything about it over here. What I want to know is what would make the "perfect" animal of specific corn morphs, as far as you're concerned. What do you see in your mind's eye and what would you be...

Now, I wouldn't normally complain about something as gorgeous as this boy is turning out to be - the photo only just captures his colouring, which in person is an amazing olive blue-green with chestnutty orange spots and a pale silvery grey belly... but Pepper here was SUPPOSED to be black...

Just because I like 'em, and I'm fascinated with colour genetics. I won't apologise for their names, because I tend to call them whatever comes to mind when I look at them. And no, naming them, for me, does not make it more difficult should they need to be culled - I HAVE fed adult breeders off...

I'm wondering if I'm being too off-the-wall and wondering how others have handled breeding loans in the past. I own six adult female leopard geckos of various genetic morphs - including albino het blizzard, blizzard and hypo/super hypo. These guys are proven breeders, though I hadn't planned to...

I've been talking on a UK reptile forum run by an online stockist, wondering why they didn't stock something like Flexwatt so that people who need custom sizes (or LOTS of heat mats) can make their own. From this conversation have come two things. Apparently, it's illegal to sell Flexwatt in...

I've been thinking about the hybridisation thing for a couple of weeks, and though I won't get into pro or con, I was wanting to ask a couple of questions for people who HAVE bred (or own) 50-50 hybrids of which at least one parent was a corn/rat snake - namely, one parent was "pure" X and the...

I've got a question for those of you who have had corns that have been subjected to too-hot cage temps for too long. If the corn survived... did its behaviour change - and how? Was this change permanent? I'm asking because we have a giant European glass lizard (Pseudopus/Ophisaurus apodus) - a...

My partner says to me, after watching "Snakes on a Plane!", something to the effect of: "We need a python. We have rat snakes and we have boas. We don't have a python.,. can we have the Boelen's?" For price reasons, a Boelen's is right out. Now, he's quite partial to Royals (Balls) - for what...
