I have a corn snake that is a year old now. He is 40 grams. I have been feeding him 1 x 4 gram fuzzie 1 x per week. Is this enough? Should I move him up to a fuzzie and a half a week? He seems to be growing pretty quickly. The fuzzies I have are 4 grams or 5 grams each. I am almost done the 4...

Ok, So my snake Mr. Grumpy Pants had 2 regurges a couple months back. I have done the regurg protocol and gotten him back up to 2 pinkies which I slit quite a lot. He is getting quite big around and they don't leave much of a lump, even the first day. I still have about 14 pinkies left. He is...

Hi guys, Right now I have my corn snake on a digital thermometer and a rheostat, but with the summer weather I find his temperature fluctuating way too much. What kind of Thermostat do you use? Are there thermostats that will function for more than one tank? Are there thermometers that will...

Well, they are 2 weeks old on Wednesday. They are getting SO cute. There are 7 females and 5 males. Some are dumbo, some are top eared. Some are standard coat and some are velveteen! Some are light, some are black, some are agouti. Some are berkshire, some are capped + backsplash. So many...

So, I found out this week that I am going to be a ratty grandma!!! My rat Katie is going to be giving birth to rittens next week. She is starting to look massive! I have some pics of some of my rats!

A couple months ago on craigslist, I noticed a bunch of posts from a lady who says she is a cornsnake breeder. She was advertising 4 snakes being sold seperately for $100 each. Yesterday she posted them at $150 for the lot (3 left) and today she went down to $125 but they had to go together. I...

Ok so about a month ago, my snake regurged. I followed the regurg procedure and waited 7 or 8 days before feeding again. I fed 1 pinky instead of 2. He kept it down. I waited another week and then fed 2 pinkies again, and the snake was over on the cold side, climbing his climbing branch and...

Well, I must say that I did not fully appreciate the incredible work you guys and gals do; until I joined a forum of pet rat enthusiasts and saw how crummy the mods are there. Just wanted to say everyone is doing an incredible job. Don't know if you are told that enough, so I wanted to give a...

So this is my rant... I recently became part of a couple pet rat forums because I love this snake forum so much and everyone is really nice and helpful and provides lots of good advice. Forum 1: Has someone giving out information that is based on personal experience as if it was fact. Something...

Ok, so I fed Mr. Grumpy Pants 2 days ago. I picked him up today and he still had a HUGE lump from feeding. I mentioned it to my Hubby, who said that he was probably fine and just not quite finished digesting. Well, Mr Pants crawled into my sweater and hung out there for about 5 minutes. I...

Hi there, I have a normal '09 hatchling with brown eyes. He apparently shed on March 5 (before I got him). He has not shed since. I fed him 2 days ago, and today went to pick him up. I noticed that his eyes are not quite as clear as they normally are, but they are not "blue" He kept tagging the...

So, My snake thinks he is arboreal. He loves to climb the little branches that are in his tank. He also does not use his half toilet paper roll hides. He hates them! My husband stuck a whole roll in there, and guess where my snake goes!!! In the toilet paper roll. He has been in there for the...

My husband and I got 2 girl ratties a couple of months ago. We then decided we were going to start breeding as pets, so we got 2 boys. We decided we would like to add one more girl and one more boy to our colony, so we bought little peaches a gorgeous little baby girl. Katie and Roxie are almost...

Ok so I fed Sammy on Saturday, and today he is soooo stinky. I haven't found a poop or anything yet. Is this normal for snakes to stink? Will he stink all the time? or just after he eats? Someone told me that snakes don't smell! Is there anything I can do to get this smell off of him? He stinks...

Ok, I know I have asked like a million questions, but I want to make sure I do this right. My snake has this fake branch like thing that can be moved and coiled. I got it to help with shedding, but apparently he loves to climb it. I often find him sitting on the rim of his tank rigut under the...

Ok, so my new snake Sam was an absolute doll in store. I held him and he was so calm, just riding around on my hands and arms and didn't want to leave me to go back into his tank. I've gotten him home and let him settle in, and put my hand in his cage a day before I fed him and he struck me. I...

Hi there, Ok So I had some pics in the Photo Gallery, but am really curious what morph this is. I have heard Classic, Okeetee, or Miami!

Hi there, I just brought my new boy home and posted some pics in the photo gallery and on my FB. One of my friends who has corn snake experience asked me how old he is. He was hatched in June '09 as per the pet store and he has been eating Pinkies 1x a week. He is fairly long, but not very...

I am told he is a normal. But OH so pretty. Can't wait to show you the big brown eyes.

Ok, So I know you guys recommend not handling for 4 days to a week for snakes that have been delivered from a breeder, is it the same for ones that you bought at a pet shop? I don't want to stress him out too much. Thanks everyone!
