Found this guy in backyard yesterday. Can you tell me what type of snake this is? I am in Southern California (San Diego).

Hello, I've had my corn snake for several years now. I feed it one mouse every week. I tried to feed it this past Saturday and it was not interested in the mouse. The mouse would be right in front of it and the snake would turn away. I tried to feed it a different mouse last night and again...

I tried posting this in the health care forums but do not seem to be getting any replies. Maybe someone here can help me. I have had a corn for about 2 years and it has reached about 4ft now. Recently, I noticed a "bump" on the side near the tail and I am hoping someone can tell me what it is...

Hi all, I have had a corn for about 2 years and it has reached about 4ft now. Recently, I noticed a "bump" on the side near the tail and I am hoping someone can tell me what it is. I have attached a picture below. Is it constipation? My snake doesn't seem to have bowel movements as often as...

This morning I was changing the water for my corn snake and found 4 or 5 red scales in it. Is it normal for a corn snake to lose scales like that? Before, I've noticed some gray areas on her body where there would normally be scales. It's been like that for a long time and I've never seen signs...

Is it ok to feed your snake transgenic mice? If not, does it depend on what kind of transgenic mice? Thanks.

Can someone post a detailed "tutorial" on snake feeding? Something that would go into what to feed and how often to feed a snake at a particular age. For example, <1 month 1 pinkie every 5 days 1-6 months 2 pinkies every 5 days etc..... Nobody really goes into this kind of detail, not at...

Would it be ok if I fed my corn "people food" (ie, chicken, beef, pork, etc that you would get from the store and cook it up)? Would salt, seasonings, butter, etc present a digestive problem? I hear that they make snake sausages. How different can these be from regular sausages? I know my...

My snake shed about 1/3 of its body about 4 days ago (maybe 5). The other 2/3 (tail end) is faded in color and has some loose skin but most of it is on there like normal skin. I tried putting her in a humid box, soaking her, having her struggle through moist paper towels, and feeding her to...

I posted this somewhere else but thought I might get a better response here. My corn snake is not completely shedding. She has already shed the head and neack portion but farther down her body she hasn't. It is not so much loose skin but rather just a dull color. I've tried spraying her down...

I recently bought my first snake (aztec corn). She's only a couple months old and she just started to shed. As normal, her colors went dull, her eyes turned cloudy and blue, and then cleared up again. A couple days ago the skin started to come off, in several pieces rather than one. About one...
