So as my farm has grown, I've had less time for my scaley babies, so I'm heavily cutting back. I'd rather them go to someone who can give them more attention. I'm selling mostly pairs, one trio, and one single. I tried to pick compatible genes. I will be a bit picky about who they go to, since...

So my caramel girl has an incredible feeding response all day every day. Today when I went to feed her, she rocketed out of the bin already biting. Problem was, my hand was the nearest thing, as I was still pulling the bin open. I was not expecting an adult corn snake to the hand, so I jerked my...

I saw a Craigslist ad for a cinder girl, and since she was a great deal with the tank and all, I went and got her. Now, I'm wondering what exactly she is. She looks an awful lot like a granite, but she has belly checkers (granted, they are split, so I think she is het blood or at least Masque)...

I have my clutch of babies housed in Ziploc containers, with paper towel substrate and a half of a toilet paper tube as a hide. I'm using hors-d'oeuvre cups as water bowls, but the kiddos keep knocking them over and soaking the paper towels and toilet paper tubes. They're not eating, because...

So, the very first kiddo out of the egg of my clutch Tessera het caramel stripe x butter het stripe bloodred appears to be our target morph, a caramel Tessera stripe. It's got the nice vanishing pattern, a clear break between head and neck pattern, and in the second picture you can see there's...

I've mentioned my farm a few times. I thought it was about time to post a few pictures. Here's some young chickens in their awkward stages, and my 2 Nubian doe goats, Brigit (grey one) and Branwen (black one). I'll add more pictures as I can.

My male fluorescent generated so much interest in my local community that I'm looking for a female to pair him with. I don't mind babies. Willing to purchase or trade--I will have a clutch which could produce caramel stripe, tessera stripe, caramel tessera. Please PM me.

I had no luck in past years trying to get my chosen pairs to breed, but this year one of my pairs took. Cloisonne (Tessera het caramel stripe) Kitron (Butter het bloodred stripe) Options include normal Tesseras, normal stripes, Tessera stripes, caramels, caramel stripes, caramel Tesseras, and...

My roommate was looking for an escapee quail when he spotted something odd tangled in bird netting we had put around our strawberries. It was 3 snakes, all wrapped up in the netting. He originally thought they were black rat snakes, and he came to get me so I could help him free them. One of...

I've been doing a lot of soap-making lately, and as I said in another thread some of what I want to do is make soap I can donate to snake-related foundations so they can help raise money. This is my first attempt at snake soap. I'm not satisfied with the color--I think I will get some mica to...

When I was at the last Repticon, I saw someone selling baby gophers for $15 each. Well, I had run across a wild one in Arizona and loved it, and it was only $15, soo.... I came home with a gopher snake. Not sure if it's male or female, but assuming female based on attitude. We decided the only...

I haven't been documenting them like I did last year, but we've had a ton of black rat snakes show up again this year. Today, we had to shoo off a beast of a snake who was so big he managed to damage the waste trays they usually sit on. I thought that one snake sighting was enough for today...

I did it again... I went to a Repticon and came away with a snake. I'd been through the entire area and I saw that the very last table had corn snakes. I have a few specific breeding programs, so I figured they wouldn't have anything I wanted. I checked the deli cups, and lo and behold, they had...

I took a family vacation to Flagstaff, AZ over the 4th of July week, and we went to visit this national park. They actually had a lot of rain (for the area) and so flowers were blooming everywhere. We saw a fence lizard on a post and tried to catch it so we could see its blue belly. In the...

I'm trying to breed a pair of snakes I've raised from hatchlings, and they're driving me batty. Specifically, the female is. She tries to run from the male every time, lots of tail whipping and flailing. The male is very interested, but he seems to be more into her shed skin than her. She...

Quick question for everyone--can you determine the sex of the snake by checking for blood spots at the vent of a shed skin? One of my presumed girls just shed, and there are two blood spots on the vent where the hemipenes would be on a male. Does this mean that she's a he?

I got this little guy a year ago at a Repticon, where his breeder told me that his mother had been tiny and although he ate like a horse, this little boa just refused to grow. He's a 2012 model, and he currently weighs in at 519g. He's slowed down a lot in his shedding, so I'm not sure how much...

I have a small farm and I raise quail, rabbits, and chickens. I know all of these can be fed to corn snakes, and I have previously put down chicks with carbon dioxide and frozen them for snake use. I have a dwarf rabbit due to give birth to kits on 3/14. I specifically bred her to produce kits...

We went to Repticon Columbia SC today, mostly just to check it out. Well, you know how that goes... we came out with a hognose. We've been wanting one since we starting seeing them, because their little noses are so adorable. Jeff from Cahaba River Reptiles did a presentation on western...

I've had a white snake on my wishlist since I started keeping snakes, and after removing wild black rat snakes from my quail shed on a virtually daily basis this summer I decided I wanted a black rat snake too. Steve Roylance posted in my thread about how he loved black rat snakes too, and among...
