So i check my UTH every day to make sure it is running, and my snake is always in the 'cool' corner of the tank, so I've never had suspicions before. This morning Siddhartha was on the 'warm' side of the tank, and I was nervous. I checked the UTH to find that it had randomly stopped working...

Siddhartha and I have been getting along great, and he is on a regular feeding schedule, and the humidity and temperatures are right in his habitat. Still, he hasn't shed in over four months, and I'm beginning to get worried. Is this because it is winter and they go through a semi 'dormant'...

A few questions about shedding and feeding. I am a first time snake owner, and I was curious, typically how long does a shed cycle take, once the snake's eyes turn noticeably blue? Also, how long can the snake go without food? He is still pretty young. I'm nervous because his first shed was...

Siddhartha has been eating well the past two feedings, I haven't handled him much or at all for like two weeks because he has been so darty and antsy when I hold him. I'm afraid of dropping him or him escaping from my hands. I know ill have to get over that to handle him properly, but I also...

My corn snake, still pretty young, and new to me, tries to strike at me when I try to pick him up, whether it is to hold him, put him in his feeding container, or after he's fed. I don't know if this is because he is still not used to being handled, or even if there is anything I can do about...

I have a few questions about cleaning. I have an old body spray bottle that I have rinsed out very thoroughly. I have NOT used it in the habitat yet, but was wondering if there was any way to clean it so that I know the water I am spraying for plants and humidity is safe for the snake? Also...

It has been over a week since my corn snake was fed, I was on vacation, and now that I am home I have tried feeding him/her and the snake won't eat. I'm worried, because it has been nine days since she ate last. I think she is hungry, because she has sniffed around the pinkie mouse, but she just...

As I am setting up my 29 gallon viv, I know my corn wont need it for a while, I have begun getting things ready. I am planning on having four small slow growing and hardy plants as well as a grass patch to roam through. I was wondering, I plan on growing the grass from seeds, is potting soil...

I have only had my corn for four days but was worried that he/she hadn't eaten for two weeks, as the pet store told me when I bought him/her. So I took a risk, bought a pinky, set up my corn with his/her prey, and in about an hour the linkup was gone! I was and am so excited that my snake ate...

I bought my corn snake on Thursday. They said he/she was fed on the previous Saturday, but didn't eat, and then they told me I should wait a full week before trying to feed him/her again. That would be about two weeks, maybe three, with no food. Should I go against what the pet store said? I...

Hello there, I am a very new snake owner. I was planning on getting a king snake, doing my research and getting everything ready, but I went into a pet store, I know, bad, I don't support pet stores usually, but this little red corn snake was just too pretty and too perfect to pass up! I think...

I'm new to this forum, and I recently, as in yesterday, acquired a red and orange corn snake. I bought him from a pet store, because none of the rescues in my area had any snakes for adoption, and he/she is pretty little. How old are they when they are generally put on sale at pet stores...
