Hey guys, This is just a quickie, mostly for those who keep their snakes in tubs and etc. Short story:I moved, and my former landlady didn't like it. So she called the spca about how I was breeding rats in her garage, and that I had snakes in tubs (12 and 27qt tubs) and they were "in distress...

Okay, I have been away for a long, long while now, but I am back! I have a new prospective project and I need some serious professional opinions... I have recently downgraded from renting an entire apartment, to a single bedroom in a home with roommates, and I never realized just how easy it...

Well Hi! I've been gone a few months, sorry. Life happened. Anyway, the time has come for me to consider a feeder colony (or two) of my own. I am up to 25 snakes, and realized I am spending a fortune on mice and rats.. I am thinking of starting with ASFs, since I know a reliable breeder and...

Okay All, Another member on another forum (ferrets not snakes, I guess that will explain a few things) got very upset when I told her that cohabbing is unkind to the snakes to say the least. All I did was point that out, and ask her to remove the pictures of her 'happy snakes'. The...

I'm posting this here because I've dropped off most of the other forums. You all don't hate on me like the rest, please don't start now. A rescue (the Toblerones and King pair) that I took in escaped Saturday or Sunday has been found. I am 90% sure he is going to lose an inch or more of is...

Hi All, So this week I took in seven animals from a friend who I am considering less of a friend after witnessing how these animals were housed... The four corns were cohabbed together for an unknown amount of time, I'm guessing a year or more. One of the Okees is female (here's hoping she...

I have mites guys, from my "Snakes in Limbo" BRB's as they were in the back of a pet store... Pay-check is Friday, is there anything I can do to keep a lid on things in the meantime? I removed the BRB's and put them in a 'new' Quarantine Zone, haven't seen any sign of trouble with the corns...

So, Saturday I went out, came back and found a fat, fat, fat snow corn snake in a critter keeper in front of my door. I live on the fourth floor of an apartment building- no key, no entry type... I can only say ?????????

Snake sensing owner's seizures. Pros? Cons? Opinions? http://blogs.discovery.com/animal_oddities/2012/01/seizure-sensing-snake.html#mkcpgn=fbapl1

I am wondering because my hatchie is still MIA. Question 1. What is a corn snakes' range of smell? How far away can they smell prey? I have been leaving pinkies ou but have no absolute proof my Bug is eating them (my cat will eat them if left where he can get them) Question 2. How flat...

Hey guys, So I need some good karma this month. I have three snakes in limbo between me and another owner... I have run out of money halfway through the sale. *sigh* Somehow I miscalculated by almost a thousand dollars in my budget, including food and rent for December... I could just really...

GAAAAAHHHHH! One of my hatchies has been missing for almost a month and today I found that one of my tiny two year olds was missing... Luckily the two year old was just located by my boyfriend behind our fridge- the hatchie is still AWOL. I tried bottle traps and pinkies with heat pads to...

Hi guys, I don't seem to be on much these days because I am toilet training my cat, and getting dumped with unwanted pets while on medical leave from college. (I don't think I have a sign telling the general population that my apartment is a pet rescue, but people keep finding me). The...

Hey guys, I just really need your good thoughts right now. One of my hatchlings is MIA. I noticed him gone thursday evening (feeding night). Admittedly this week has been hectic and I haven't been checking on everyone regularly. He was locked in a tub, the lid wasn't so wonderful, but I loaded...

I have a couple snakes who are undersized by normal standards, and I could use some reassurance or advice on how to improve them, or if I shouldn't be concerned at all. 2008 Anery het lavender, male- Malcom, about 200 grams. Eats smaller sized adults. In October 2009, I picked this guy up...

Hey all, I am wanting your opinions on an odd kind of heating. My enclosures have lights on dimmers, but no heat tape. So I was thinking of placing a heat absorbing material, ie. slate, beneath the light. I'm thinking that the rock can be warmed by the light- as natural as heating can get...

Hi All! Anyways (now hat I have internet) I would like to share a little something with you. My boyfriend thinks I have eight snakes.The most recent being my poor rescue king boy. He hasn't noticed the new baby butter, or the lovely caramel who is much larger, ergo harder to hide... They're...

Before the cohab argument starts- what I mean is: Can I bring my king snake's enclosure into the room with my corns? Right now my king boy is being quarentined in my living room, far, far away from my established collection. I have read that some people find no difference in attitude between...

Well, it's been almost a year for me and my scaley children since we decided they needed a permanent setup that I could clean easily as I cannot do heavy or awkward lifting as required by aquariums and tubs. Last October, I got in contact with a few people on my island who could build what I...

Hey Guys, So, I found a place that will allow my snakes- legaly even. :) Property Manager knows, Building Landlord knows. Cats and caged pets welcome provided they stay in the apartment. (And the feature I have lived without for over two years-- A Bathtub! So happy!) My question today is...
