I've had my carpet for about 4 months now. She regurged when I first got her, she also had a little behavior issues when I got her. Over the last 4 months she has improved greatly. I have absolutely fell in love with this snake. Now on to the bad part. Her last feeding was about 3.5 weeks ago...

Got me a new addition to the family

Was gone for a day and a half and come home to find my baby corns viv cold as could be. Warm side of 68 and cool side of 53. Look under her tank and the UTH fell off. Reapplied and trying to get temps back up

My baby went blue the other day, I left for a day and a half and now she has clear eyes and bright colors yet I can't find a shed at all. So that being said my question is, can a snake go into shed and then decide not to? I would think that would be impossible but I spent an hour sifting thru...

How often should an underweight snake be fed? She ate a small rat on the 18th. She is 3 years old and now weighs 1090 grams compared to the 1140 grams she weighed a month ago (which she was also underweight then). I think 7-8 days is a good enough time between meals but was looking for other...

My baby corn is about 10-11 grams and after she downs one pinkie she is looking for another. Today she was trying to eat the paper towel where the mouse was. My question is does anyone think it would be bad to bump her up to two pinkies even tho she isn't at the weight according to the Munson plan?

I read somewhere about it being bad for your snake to drink water after feeding. Any validity to what I read, my carpet python that regurgitated 9 days ago was fed today. She went into her hide and then come out and started drinking water, I just don't want her to regurg again.

My baby corn are, it may have been rear end first but she are and I can't complain haha

I was watching a video on YouTube from snakebytes/BHB and they said about rubbing pinkies on a sardine or tuna. I guess corns like the smell although they don't eat fish. They also said about rubbing the pinkie in lizard gut. Just wondering if anyone had used these, I may use the tuna one today...

I have my baby corn that isn't eating, and the carpet python I got about a week and a half ago just regurgitated her two day old meal of a medium rat. I've never had a snake regurg. Feeling pretty I don't even know right now.

Looking to acquire a king snake, owner doesn't know what sub species it is. Currently about 6 feet long, waiting to see if they know how old it is.

My corn snake got her name of Kano from my three year old when she went into her hide, it looked like a volcano and he said Kano and bam she had a name. Stitches got her name also from kids, she looks like she has stitches on her mouth.

Today's feeding with my new IJ Carpet Python was a success. Second attempt at trying to switch her to rats instead of chicks. Thawed out a medium rat and a chick. Rubbed the chick on the rat and she took it.

Gunna take her to the vet but stitches my IJ carpet python let's out a puff of air sometimes, and sometimes when holding her I can almost feel like an internal cough ornlmething. I already wanted to take her just to take her but was wondering if there is anything I should address specifically.

3 year old Irian Jaya Carpet Python, about 5.5 feet long. Just got her and she is my first carpet python. She is currently 1160 grams or about 2.5 lbs. just curious if anyone knows of she is under weight or not. Few pictures to follow.
