Haven't posted in a while. My one corn is doing well. Missed out on purchasing a lovely locality female recently, someone snapped it up while I was still trying to get an answer to a question. Found another beauty, but not quite a corn (Great Plains rat, it looks just like a corn) - vendor...

I posted about this earlier, but it is going on again. Consider it more of a rant than a question, but still concerning. On March 7th Starbuck weighed 232 grams. He also finished a shed on that date. Fed normally until going into blue on March 31st, and shedding on the 4th of April. He...

I ordered some beautiful goldfish last week from a breeder in HI. They are due to arrive tomorrow. A 300 gallon stock tank will be their new home. Actually, that source is very reasonable for the quality, and the money was mine to spend, but even so, BF was appalled at the price. He...

Starbuck's last shed was on the 7th of March. Weight was 232 grams. He declined his next offered meal, but ate for me on the 25th. I haven't weighed him since, but if anything, he seems slightly slimmer. He was very active in his enclosure for the first three weeks of March, but has calmed...

Starbuck has refused his mouse the last two feedings. He has been a bit restless, but, I figure it's just mating season. I offered a f/t mouse this evening, and he slowly took it. I left the room. When I came back, he was writhing around with his mouth wide open. It is ugly to see your...

Been wanting another for a while, and I can swing the funds for a 36X18X18 Exo Terra. (Obviously, not necessary - but, I like them). Have an extra UTH, and extra RHP, LED (for plants), and a Hydrofarm T-stat. That spare t-stat should be upgraded. A Vivarium Electronics that regulates both...

Decided the daily spritz was NOT cutting it. Poor guy was raised in FL, he now lives in high desert. Dug out some Exo Terra forest moss to moisten, and rummaged around for some tupperware of a suitable size. I ended up tying two of them together, since I couldn't find anything in the size I...

Fed Ex finally showed up about 1pm. Little guy was tied up in a sack, and active under the cloth. For a moment, holding the squirming cloth, I felt my old fear of wild snakes. I got the end un-knotted, and he poked his little head out. Tongue flicks. Oh my... My camera battery is low. Not...

Fed Ex tracking. Snake comes some time tomorrow. Temps are good for travel. Temps are also good in the tank. I always underestimate how heavy and cumbersome that big tank is. This one is actually an extra tank I grow plants in (plants bumped out onto near by table w/o even their grow lights...

There was an ad on Kingsnake.com for a corn. It was such a beautiful animal, I would go there every day to gaze at it. It was there yesterday morning; yesterday evening...GONE! I was devastated. I e-mailed the breeder on the off-chance it might still be available. I've corresponded with...

It is my understanding that the first Palmetto was just discovered one day in someone's yard. Aside from the distinctive stark white ground and confetti sprinkles, the feature I find most striking about this morph is the light grey iris. This eye and the quality of the bright white, remind...
