Holy crap. I could use some help here. Has anyone ever heard of a snake choking on water before? I heard a loud, deep retching and jumped out of my bed , thinking one of my dogs was about to puke. When I noticed both of my dogs were in my room, staring at me like I was crazy, I ran in to my...

I just took out my 8-year-old male Sam to feed him, and was alarmed to find that he had a marble-sized lump on his throat, just behind his head! I felt it and it was very soft, like fluid if anything. Strangely, it seemed to mostly disappear while I had him out. I plan on taking him out tomorrow...

Hello everyone, It seems that my male corn snake Sam is having issues with a respiratory infection. A few weeks ago when he was shedding, I noticed that he was making a weird sort of noise, like I could hear him exhaling. I decided to wait for him to shed to see if the noise would disappear...

Hey everyone, Today my male snake Sam woke me up at 7 AM. I heard a loud noise, and first assumed it was my leopard gecko hunting for crickets. It turned out it was Sam completely freaking out in his cage. He kept hitting his head on the screen lid as if he were almost trying to get out...

I am thinking about heading out to the Kansas City Reptile Show next weekend. I was thinking about buying another male to add to my small collection, preferably adult. Currently I have a Creamsicle male, a Snow female, and an Amel female. I was wanting to breed just one more clutch...it's an...

Hi everyone this is _sam_'s (Kelsey) sister, Katie. She is away in Germany for 2 weeks and I want to suprise her with a little present when she gets home. I want to build a big enclosure for her where she can keep all of her snakes (she has 3..and I'm gonna make 4 cages. So she can get one more...

Last year I think it was, my female layed a clutch of slugs right after I bought her. I don't know if she bred or if she just layed them for whatever reason, but they were all (or mostly, I really didn't know anything about breeding then) slugs. Either way, none of them lived because I had found...

My parents, sister, and a friend went to the open house of MU's vet school to have a look around...it's a cool place and I hope to be going there in the near future. My friend, me, and my sister. What a cool snake!!!! My sister sticking her hand inside of a fistulated cow. A bunch of air...

Hello everyone! I took Sam to the vet yesterday, and sure enough he has a respiratory infection. It's not too serious, but I'm going to have to give him two different types of medicine by syringe; one type every 2 days and the other every 3 days. One medicine can be injected in to the F/T mouse...

I bought an Amel female from the pet store about a year ago. Apparantley she bred with a male while at the pet store, laying 16 infertile eggs after a few weeks. (That was a shock to find!) A few months after that, she became eggbound, and so I took her to the vet where they were able to remove...

I'm so excited to get a Ball Python! :crazy02: I'm trading in some snowsicle/creamsicle hatchlings for one with a local reptile breeder. (Speaking of which, what would probably be a good trade? I have 11 hatchlings remaining, 5 creamsicle 6 snowsicle.) This will be easier on me since I won't...

Alrighty, so I had Sam out today and I let him crawl around on the floor. He sneezed/hissed (do corns sneeze? there might have been dust on the floor too) a few times, and I started hearing him make clicking noises...the sides of his throat move when he does this. I have read that this could be...

These are pictures of all my remaning hatchlings, 5 creamsicles and 8 snowsicles from a Creamsicle X Snow pairing. The one-eyed hatchling was bought by my friend, so I will get to see him grow up. =) The lighting is kind of screwed up so it's a little hard to see the patterns, especially on the...

Hey everyone, I want to buy my sister a Gouldian finch for Christmas since her favorite one died, but I need to find another breeder besides Just-Us-Birds...I guess I'd like to hear about any finch, except Zebras and Societies. Gouldians are what I'm really looking for, though. Especially a blue...

So I was cleaning out Sam's cage today and I found two 'poops', one normal looking one and one slightly irregular one. (He usually gets one mice per feeding, but last time I gave him 2) The weird looking poop was pretty large, and normal color, but the weird thing was, was that there was a foot...

For their first two feedings F/T pinkies, all of my hatchlings ate with no problem. On Friday I bought live pinkies to feed to the babies since they didn't have any F/T ready, and so I put the pinkies in to feed them. I watched most of them eat, but I was about to leave for the weekend (my Dad...

As some of you know, I bred my male Creamsicle to my female Snow, producing both snows and creamsicles, with snows being the majority. As I was cleaning out the baby containers today, I realized a difference in the creamsicles....some are more orange while others seem more red, like an...

My first ever clutch! Creamsicle X Snow The baby with only one eye. One of many snows. Creamsicle Notice the heart on his/her head!

So right now I have the hatchlings that are out in small tupperware containers inside the Hovabator, but eventually I'm going to run out of room...so I was just wondering the best method for keeping them warm? Do you just set the containers on a heating pad? I'm going to need a lot of heating...

So it's day 52 and I'm getting excited for my first clutch! I checked on the eggs today, and one egg on the very top of the 'clump' has a rather large dent on it, while the other ones are still perfectly round as far as I can tell. I was just hoping someone had any opinions on whether this...
