I have TWO Herpstat II thermostats for sale. These are a couple of years old but still work, I changed to Herpstat 4's for my setups so have 2 unused probes and 2 used probes, but additional can still be purchased from Spyder Robotics. These are the blue screen model Herpstat II (not Herpstat...

I need to find someone that has more time than I do to give Flynn the attention he deserves! He's a 2010 DiamondX Carpet Python, 7-8' long and in the 18-20 lb range. I've used him for hands-on and educational events in the past, but since I've relocated to Illinois I just don't have the time...

I need to clear some space, so I have decided to rehome my carpet python and sell my large display cage. I would love for my big guy to go with the cage if possible, but will consider seperate offers. Please see my 2010 Carpet Python post for photos and information about him. Details on the...

I've decided to find a new home for my ghost corn as well as some of my non-corns (another post) due to lack of space and time with my new schedule. I bought this ghost as a male, but have not had him independantly sexed and have not bred him. He would make a great first-time snake for anyone...

anyone have any advice on removing retained shed in the nostrils? I have a juvenile carpet python that has a whistle (been to reptile vet: not an RI) and it has gotten noticeably worse since his last shed. I don't see any apparent retained shed around his nostrils, but since the vet visit he...

wondering if anyone else here has City ordinances that restrict quantities of pets? My City has proposed an ordinance change that limits dogs to not more than 3 dogs over six months of age, not more than 4 cats over three months of age, and "In addition to the limit on dogs and cats, no more...

So I'm 90% done with two stacking wood vivs, one of which will house my corn, the other my savu python. I have 18" fluorescent light fixtures mounted inside on the ceiling. Both of the light fixtures have a bit of vibration to them, one barely noticable, the other has a bit more buzz. I've...

I've been using the "stair climbing" as an exercise for my active adult corn, but was wondering what other people do? It's amazing how fast he can get somewhere that he's difficult to unwind/pry out of!

Introducing my '08 Savu Python, Slade doing his handcuff impression. Thanks for looking!

So I've been considering getting a larger snake as my next addition, and have been doing research on various boas and pythons. I seem to be finding more information on length than I can on adult weights, and thought that this might be a good place to ask the experienced boa/ python keepers...

Sorry if this is a bit long explanation, but this is an odd question that I didn't see discussed in the other forums. This is my first corn, so limited experience. I have a year old male, around 100g and 3 ceramic hides. I started out when I got him with a small "cup" shape on the cool side...

Hello all, I joined the Cornsnake Owners Group just over a week ago and wanted to say thank you for all of the good information everyone has posted. I didn't find the site until after I got my snake, but have been spending much of my time (while waiting for my snake to settle in) reading over...
