So my 3.5 yr old has been a bit aggressive lately and after reading through here I feel that his temp may be slightly off despite the digital thermostat and that I just don't handle him as much as I used to (really only before feeding). So I plant to just nut up and handle him after I cool the...

It is very young and about 1.5" long from nose to tail tip. It is not injured and seems quite healthy. Do you think I can keep it alive? Should I just feed it baby crickets? How long can they go without eating? I have it in a small 1' tank right now just on the plastic and i put a VERY...

So my 2 year old corn male is usually the best natured little guy I have ever seen. Grew out of being jumpy, rarely startled, never tries to strike. I came home today and looked in the tank and he was frantically trying to get out. He is generally curious but he seemed to be panicking. I...

I understand that not all snake owners use this site, but if we are fortunate enough to find people in our general area that would like to go in on orders of if you mouse farmers are near use and we dont even know it perhaps you could post locations. I am not familiar with the background of...

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/the-great-rat-race-1099948.html It is a great read. Although we may not be seeing a shortage on the smaller reptile end, it makes you wonder if/when our prices will go up and we will have to deal with shortage or raise our own!

My Arancio is coming up on 11 months old. I am a bit unsure of his personality because... Usually when I try to get him out of his tank he panics. If I am able to get him out he tries to flee like mad for at least 30 seconds. He then will calm down and cruise across my hands unless I give him...

I realize it may not be the proper thing to do to uncover my snake to handle him but I want him to get used to it. He has a habit of burying himself under the aspen rather than just curling up in a hide. He shed about 4 days ago so I doubt that is the problem. But when I uncover him and try...

Ok, my ~year old male corn just shed last night! I handled him yesterday and he did not seem agitated or uncomfortable and I could not really tell that he was about to shed. I thought i read that they would be nervous before shedding but is it after that I need to leave him alone? I'd really...

I see many breeders here pumping out multiple clutches per season. I realize the great majority of snake owners aren't breeders but is the market really big enough that they all get bought up? I am just curious what happens to the less in-demand babies. Thanks in advance for any input and info!

He is about 11 months old. I have had him for about a week now and I plan on really handling him for a bit today. I have held him before and he never stuck at me or anything. Any tips on how long i should handle him or any specific way I should start out? He spends most of his time hiding...

Hi, My name is Travis and my first corn snake (well, first snake ever) came in today! Here is a picture of what he will look like full-grown but I can assure at 11-12 months old now, he is already gorgeous...
