I relocated and had to leave my corn and my gecko with a friend of mine who's taken care of them for a year now. I've seen pics of both and they seem healthy but it seems my friend kept the gecko viv right next to the corn's whereas I had them across the room from each other. My question...

I'm a travel newb who's never purchased a plane ticket and was wondering if there are do's and dont's. I'm looking to buy a one way ticket from Montreal to Peru. I can't imagine there being many options as far as carriers. If I go to the airport and see what flights are available and make a...

I've got a 20G long tank for my 1 1/2 yr old corn and it seems like whenever I'm attempting to place my corn in his tank after handling , he always tries to extend his body to the rim of the tank to avoid being placed in it. If part of his body reaches the rim of the tank , he tries to hold...

Just weighed my corn and he went from 114g to 205g in 30 days. He/she is approx. 1yr and 2 months of age. I had noticed some growth but wasn't expecting that much of a weight gain in such a short time frame. Are most corns gaining weight at this incredible pace when they're at this age ?

My approx. 9 month old corn was moving across my arm while handling and it really seemed like he made 2 attempts to burrow into my arm as if it were substrate. He literally put his head down and tried to move downwards into my arm, twice. Anyone else have this happen to them ? Anyone...

I'm giving it a try because I can use it for my gecko as well as my corn. Seems like it's moist right out of the bag. I just fed my corn and cleaned his tank and added the mulch. I'm guessing if it's sold like this it won't be a problem for my corn but just wondering if it's better to let it...

I'm renting an apartment and keep my corn snake and my crested gecko in my bedroom. It's cold up here in Montreal so we heat homes from Oct., Nov -> April. It seems like the thermostat in my bedroom doesn't keep as steady a temp. as I would like. It would seem to let the temps fall more than...

2 issues I'm dealing with. Not sure if they're related or not. So my corn's attempted to poo on me 3 days in a row now and was successful on his 1st 2 attempts :( My corn is approx. 8-9 months old , and up until recently was very active , moving around his viv 24-48 hrs after feeding and...

to keep me company along with my corn and was wondering If I need to change clothing after handling one If I'd like to handle the other afterwards if either one makes contact with my pants or shirt. I'll be using a hand sanitizer then washing my hands thoroughly as well of course. Thanks.

I live alone and don't spend too much time in there usually but I am cooking often enough. It can get a bit smokey in there at times , wondering if I decide to keep snakes in there if they might go crazy if they detect smoke.

In glass vivs , maybe 5-6 feet from each other ? Do either species get agitated by movement/scent ? Was considering getting some crested geckos or bearded dragons to be more specific. Thanks.

Looking at all the morphs and variations , the striped versions of each seem to be my favorite by far. I'm guessing a lot of other people find them attractive as well. I really don't see many of them in the photo gallery forum and was wondering if they are difficult to produce , or just not...

I know many ppl refer to the Munson plan as just a guideline but I wanted to make sure this was ok. I fed my snake the largest pinkie I had last week and a day later he was out exploring his viv. He really seems to be very active and after a day I really can't notice any bump at all. I've...

My corn shed a day after I first got him , about 3 1/2 weeks ago , so this is the 1st time I'm seeing the change in behavior prior to shedding. He's hiding when he's normally out wandering. Is handling during this period more stressful for the snake ? Does anyone avoid it during this period ?

I've got 3 fake plants , 3 hides , a large grapevine and a smaller vine in my viv along with the water bowl , and was wondering if I needed to clean all of those along with the tank monthly ? Any problem with cleaning some of these items a few days prior to cleaning the tank ? Does it defeat...

So from what I've read here , my corn will burrow to find the heat he needs to function. When it's a bit on the cool side here but not cold enough to warrant room heating , there can be a large disparity between the temp directly above the uth and the temp on top of the substrate , 85 to 72-74...

Just wanted to share my experiences as a new corn owner and have a question or two. So I've been a corn owner for about 2 weeks now and I have to say i'm really pleased. I imagine my experiences aren't uncommon since corns are so often recommended as a great 1st snake for anyone contemplating...

So I've got snake fever , only had my corn for 2 weeks now but can't wait to get another snake. As much as I'm liking my corn I want to mix it up a bit. Even though if I had the $ I'd do it tomorrow , i'll probably wait ill till I upgrade my corn to a 40 gal viv and then put the 20gal long I...

During my 1st feeding I presented the F/T mouse to my snake and he took it pretty quickly but it would be a lot simpler to drop the prey into the enclosure and then drop him in there after he's settled down from handling. Would let me clean his tank while he eats so he doesn't have to spend too...

I leave my snake in my bedroom where I keep a large standing lamp that allows me to dim the light. If I want to get a good look at him will brightening the light at night disturb him significantly ? I wanted to get a good look at him to check for a noticeable bump because it's been 24 hrs...
