So I just moved up to small rats, which where I get them, are huge compared to adult mice. My question is, with the meals getting this much bigger (and more expensive), how often should I feed him? I was on a 7 day schedule, but I'm thinking at least 10 days between feedings now.... does that...

I ran across a snake today at the petstore while I was picking up some mice I have a couple questions about. It was labeled as a bloodred and priced at 54 bucks (US). They received it from a different location, so don't know much about it. I inspected it and found it to have no belly checks...

Well, I finally got a new ball python. It was listed as a baby, but they think it's around 5 months old. He was the best looking of the 7 they had, and he's doing very well in his new home. The only downside, is that he's currently on small adult live mice. What is the best way to make the...

I have a little guy right now, who's between 3 and 4 months old, who is very very little. He regurged once the 5th of January. Ate 3 times, and now regurged meal 4 since his last regurge. I was leaving him be, other than feeding until this morning, when I thought it would be okay to handle...

How do you know if you have a bloodred motley without knowing it's genetics? The belly will be free of checkers anyway, since it's a bloodred. And as it ages, it would lose most of it's markings anyway, correct? I guess I'm just curious, as I don't think I've seen many of these, but In my...

So I recently switched one of my corns to fuzzies (he's plenty big around for these) and I've had a problem a couple times now. When I go to feed, He strikes, and has even been constricting (which he never did on pinkies) but once the head is in, it seems as though the legs of the fuzzie stick...

I just seen about a dozen baby ball pythons, and they seemed to be much calmer than some of my corns. I was thinking that this may be a good option for my daughter (who's five) who loves snakes, but doesn't handle my corns too much, just because they're so quick, and if she'd ever drop one, it...

Hey guys, I currently have 3 29 Gallon tanks, and once there's a couple hides, water dish, etc... There's plenty of room for my 14-19 inchers. But what about when they're fullgrown? Just wondering If you could post your setups for your adult corns, and maybe list how big the corn is in...

Okay, so I've been doing some planning on future breeding, and I want to see if I'm correct in my analysis. Let me begin with this question. How many different partners is it okay to breed a male with in a single season? I've read that even four or five times would be okay if the little man's...

I just purchased a new diffused on Saturday, and the last time he was fed was the weekend before. Last night was feeding night, and he flat out refused his pinkie. It was the correct size, and plenty warm. His tank has all the right conditions. Has anyone else had this problem? I think he...

Just wanted to show off my new bloodred that I recieved from DanD today at the Taylor Expo in Michigan. Named him Houdini (Figured it fit). Snapped a few pics of him and his new home, and can't wait to get this little guy a girlfriend. Also wanted to thank Dan for all the help to my bunches...

Just wondering how many of you brumate before breeding. From what I can tell, brumating might help someone like me see more of the signs from corns that will let me know when they're ready to breed. (post brumation shed, etc...). Anyway, If you raise alot of corns, please post that number as...

Just wondering if someone could post some pics of the difference between pinkies to fuzzies to hoppers, etc. Just curious to get a look at them, seeing as how I am only accustomed to pinkies so far. also, when do you usually switch from one type to the next? I understand the whole 1 1/2 size...

I've never bred before, but am starting to think about it.... anyway, my q is that if one parent is say, het for motley, does that mean that the offspring will NOT show the motley trait, but might carry the trait, or does it mean that some of the offspring MIGHT show the trait? I know, I'm...

Ok. So I've seen a couple people in different threads post some pics of thier corns at a young age, and then again as adults, some with huge differences that occur over time. I just figured that I'd start a thread for you all to show off how beautiful your corns have gotten as they've grown...

I was wondering if somebody could explain in laymans terms the definitions of some of the following, and pics would be great as well. 1) Hypo. I know this has something to do with the borders, but how do you tell the difference for sure? 2) Het. Does this mean that the trait is there, but...

Being the amature that I am.... I've only have one amel corn right now, it's about 6 months old. I'd like to try my hand at breeding, but want to ask some questions before I begin. The reason I ask, is that I know it'll probably be a year or more before I can begin, but I'd like to prepare as...

I was at the local pet store today, and they had a snow (which didn't look good at all) an albino motley (which I may pic up, it was gorgeous) and 3 creamsickles. What exactly is a creamsickle. One was fairly colorful, but the other two had less color in them than the albino that I own. Could...

Just wondering if anyone has any pics of thier motleys at 6 mos and younger, as well as a 2 yr or older pic. I'm just trying to see more changes in the motley pattern as the snake grows older. Please post if you have pics of your motleys at different stages. Thanks a ton.

I know that live mice are not necessarily recommended while corns are young...but at what age (size) would it be okay to introduce live food? Is there any major drawbacks to live food? There is just something facinating about watching a snake take down his own dinner, instead of having it...
