My husband go a trio of rats the other month; a male and two females. He was told to feed them bird food. Well, me, decided to slip them some veggies and fruit; you know, peelings from cantalope, the ends of root veggies that would be thrown away, left over strawberries, etc. I still wonder how...

I just want to relate what happened to my husband and I this past weekend at the Raleigh NC Reptile Show. We have been keeping snakes since December 2006 and up to last weekend I have been the one buying the snakes. My husband, like some men, hear free or cheap or deal and jump on it. He was...

Many thanks to Meg F for giving my Smokey the opportunity to have a love life this coming mating season - she is lending me Maya. Smokey is 10 and still a virgin. :dancer:

Please only post comments on snakes hearing and understanding what is said to them. We are ignoring the fact that snakes do not have ears, they don't understand our language and coincidence along with survival tactics. Monday, Kevin (my husband) wanted to play with Hayyah, our 6 month old male...

Okay, friends. I want comments, yippee I found them or no luck in finding the rascels. Let me know how long they've been gone when they are found and what condition they are in; let me know how long you waited until giving up on them; and let me know if you renamed replacements after them. See...

I plan on breeding so I have Eluyanka, Danu and Gaia as "team one" and probable this November I'll get another male and two females for "team two". Team one will not be ready to breed for, at least, two years. My question is this: Should I put team one in brumation each year to get them into...

This was the first reptile expo for me and I did not know really what to expect. I was not so happy about the crowds. (Okay, don't say it - EXPO=CROWDS, I know). I don't like to be in a crowd of people but I can handle walking around in a crowd. For the life of me I don't understand why a...

In my other poll of where and how do you feed your snakes, I noticed that several members mention "Feeding response" which I take as the snake lurching out at the mouse and coiling around it. Some feed as I do, put the f/t in the feeding container and let the snake find it on their own. Gaia...

I ask this question because Gaia is getting bigger, she's 29 grams. Right now I put her f/t in a critter carrier, wash my hands and get Gaia out. Play with her for a few minutes, weight her if she has shed and then hold her over the critter carrier until she noses down and finds the f/t and...

:crying: I know this is a cornsnake forum but please help. Any suggests will be greatly appreciated. I just came home from work and Lizzy is not in her room. She lifted the screening from the door. We have a doggy door that stays open for Max and Lady and I can't find Lizzy in the house...

This is Gaia's new home. Now I'll never see her.

Well, here he is, girls. Smokey. All American Snake. 4'3" and 385 grams.

Okay, not that I am going to do any breeding any time some; But, Riddle me this: My normal, Gaia, is currently around 5-6 months old and 23 grams. I know females should mate when they are around 300 grams. Suppose she is a she and it takes her two years to get to 300 grams. My snow, Smokey, is...

Here she is. She is 23 gms, 19" and, if the pet shop was telling the truth, about 5 months old. She's my baby.

Okay, I know it's not the 1st but this certainly ranks as an April Fools prank played by Smokey. This morning my husband wakes me up. "I have some sad news. The dogs ate Smokey". It seems that my husband could not find Smokey in his tank, had forgot to put the clamps on the cover and had...

We got this snake out of the garden while my husband was weeding. I have no way to get a photo in so I'll try to describe him/her as best as possible. I would say about 6-12 months, 15 to 20 inches, fat chunky body but skinny neck and head, head shaped like a corn snake, pale grey belly, pale...
