There's someone on BP.net looking for a cornsnake, they want a breeder within driving distance. If you are that person, or know that person, I will relay that information over to the poster on BP.net. I think they are under 18, but sound responsible.

The late unlamented bammer got into it over substrates. Appparently he used pebbles or something so he would see more of his snake. Actually the whole floor surface covering issue started getting discussed in a thread about his abrupt departure. But it's actually a cool topic. What is OK for...

If money was not an issue and neither was safety, what hot would you like to own?

I was surfing eBay. There are LOTS of heat rocks there. I came up with 2 ideas I want to ask the DIYers. Would a snake enjoy a heat rock if it was on a t-stat or dimmer so that the temperature was a nice 84F? What about "building" a heated "rock" out of heat cable, ceramic tile & cement...

I have been looking at cameras. I don't want a PS. Any suggestions for a quasi-affordable camera of this type?

I need to get 5 snakes from NoVA to Massachusetts. Can anyone pack & ship them if I pay for it? Any other ideas on how to get them here?

David & I have been talking about this. Both of us have expanded rather rapidly. I'm not sorry, and I'm NOT downsizing, but I am reducing expansion plans. My issue is that my place has gotten crowded with tubs. I spend a lot of time playing tub tetris instead of handling snakes, and the...

One of my coworkers wants a BP. She would like a well-started baby. She has a little reptile experience, and would be very careful & attentive in her care of the snake. She's not looking for a morph, doesn't care about gender, and won't be breeding in the future Let me know if you hatch any...

I have Icabod, who is from PJC. I've had him since last autumn. He is clearly healthy, and although off feed because he can smell the ladies in the apartment, I can't see any reason why that should be a stopper to breeding him. I have a girl, Rocket, who is big (sorry, I don't have the weight...

What stores come to mind when you need or want supplies for your herps? I don't mean Petco/Petsmart or even the local store that specializes in herps. I also don't mean ProdentPro either. I'll start off with an example: Walmart, where you can buy tubs, cheap human or pet eating bowls...

My beloved Vickie, a long haired tortie dilute, went to the Rainbow Bridge today. I had to be at work, but my BFF Sheila was with her & says her passing was peaceful. I don't know how old angel Vickie was. I got her in 1995 from a friend who was in hospice care for colon cancer. She had...

There's no "other snakes wanted" so here it is. The title says it all. I have a SSS coming as soon as the weather is safe, another SSS (ditto) & 4 not yet pipped ones that I am hopeful & optimistic about. So I am buying Ikea shelving & tubs. So what's one more? I have surfed KS & FC, but...

Humphrey more often than not refuses if I give him a full-sized mouse. I have a whole bunch of smallish mice (they were labelled hoppers but they are bigger than hoppers to my eye). He will take these smaller mice with enthusiasm but they don't leave much of a lump. I know adults should be...

Trying for a nice, specific thread title. LOL. OK, I am thinking about basic biology here, not because I have a practical need for this info but for curiosity. How many females can 1 optimally healthy male corn snake successfully be bred with in one season?

There's a guy on the local CL .who has a western hogsnake for sale. What do I need to know about them before I make a decision? I know they are ~way cute~ but what are their care needs? Are they good eaters? Would one of them be happy to eat a rejected pinkie or 2? What questions should I...

Let's see, last night I got musked & pooped on and bitten 3-4 times. One of the bites left marks although none really bled. The marks are from the time Attitude hit my thumb and CHEWED. I swear, this wasn't just a bite, but chewing, moving the jaw like A was trying to figure out how to engulf...

There are days... For months there has been subsurface resentments over who got how much raise. Now this has culminated in somebody announcing they are leaving in January, which leads to rearranging the schedule, which is leading to more resentments. Meanwhile other people are yelling at one...

I ordered a t-shirt from Eco Herpetological with a tangle of snakes on it -- Amel, RO, anery, blood, striped amel, etc etc. It arrived today & I ordered it late last week. I love it. Now, if they just made a sweatshirt too! Anybody know of other merchants who sell tchotchkes or clothing with...

OK, I was doing Punnett squares last night & figured out that one of the snakes I want to produce will be 1/16 of the "expected" results from the square. Realistically, how many do I need to hatch to get my 1/16th? I guess what I am asking is how many pairs with the right genes do I need to...

I took a look at my plans for next year. At the moment I have 3 corn snakes. Next year that will go up to 8-10 of them. Every now & then again Humphrey skips eating a mouse. I toss it. With 8-10 corns, I am gonna be throwing away mice semi-regularly. I think I need a snake that would like...
