Hi guys, long time no speak. ;) A couple of weekends ago, my husband came across a very young gartersnake in our home. We have no clue how long it's been living with us but it was very easy to pick up (didn't try to slither away & behaved as if it was tame) in our front foyer. Poor little...

Question for you guys: Can we use an automatic mister when our corn is in the shedding phase in order to add humidity or is it better to do it by hand? These are the three available at our local pet smart...

Hi guys, it's been a while. :) Just wanted to share that my son has decided he missed having a corn & asked me to keep an eye out for "a red one" from our breeder Darren. He misses Martha very much (passed away Sept '14) but didn't feel it was right to get another aztec okeetee (though I saw...

Hi guys, Sorry it's been forever since I posted but I have been lurking. My son came to me less than an hour ago all worried about Martha's odd behaviour. He went to feed her & she halfheartedly struck at the mouse then proceeded to coil around it but just continue going in a spiral for 5 min...

Didn't know where to post this... I was having fun taking some quick pics of the shed.

What access door does your viv have? Top, front/back, sliding, swing open? Which is your preference? I'm still mulling in my mind the design of viv I'll be building & I've noticed that Martha does not like the top opening ever since I've put her in the tall tank. It has the same floor square...

I was wondering at what age do you sell your young corns? When they are a few weeks old? A couple of months?

Just checking out in the search engine about different substrates people use & I was wondering what people preferred to use as a substrate & why? Or if you could, which one would you like to use? (if you had the time, patience or ability) I know I'd like a natural one (saw a couple of threads...

I'll join in with the rest & give Martha her own update growth thread. :) Dec. 25 2011: just a baby

What do you breeders/collectors aim for when you select for breeding or that catches your eye: colouring, patterns or both?

Some pics of our Okeetee today. She's just come out of the blue phase & was rubbing her face on his cap before exploring it & deciding it was a nifty place to stay on. Mmmm no thanks, I'm comfy here! Now I wonder what expression a client would've had had one walked in at that time...

I tried searching for an answer to this but can't seem to find it... As you know our Okeetee (now 15 months old) had a nasty tail accident on Jan 18, so almost 3 weeks ago. From what my son told me, he usually feeds her on a 5 day schedule, she was due to eat on the 18th (he was thawing a...

... yep, a totally useless post (I'm waiting for my "sizing" to peek for guilding... so have a minute to kill) Took Martha out an hour ago to check on her & as always, I offer her water (though the bowl is in her viv) & she drank a lot! We then had our first sneeze! That was so cute!:rofl...

I was wondering how often you guys take your snakes out & what kind of play/exploration/handling do they get & the duration? Do they stay in their room or can they go outside? I can just imagine that the younger they are, the more apt at slithering away at mach 3 speed happens quite a bit...

Is there a thread already started somewhere on the various colours & terms with pics? Being new, I'm just starting to get familiar with all the jargon. In the meantime... (I've already asked this in my newbie intro but didn't get an answer yet. So I'll ask here) If someone asks me what...

I'd like to see your snake's set up please. :) While Martha is recuperating, we had to strip her tank to the bare minimum. I found that the set up we had for her (before emptying it) seemed pretty boring & I've seen some that are pretty elaborate. So once she can start having her normal...

I searched on this topic but can't find anything that relates; just a few days ago, when my son went to feed his snake, he found her hanging upside down in her tank, tail caught in the top bars (we used to have a mesh top but decided on the grills instead from a previous experience years ago...

Another newbie here from Canada's Capital. Thought I'd say "Hi" *waves* My son has a gorgeous 1 yr old Aztec Okeetee named Martha. We've had her for 13 months now & she's just wonderful! She belongs to my youngest son. We also used to have another corn (from same breeder. Awesome guy!)...
