...ever consider Artificial Insemmination(?) in snakes or more specifically in corns? Please, da last thing I want is to start a moral debate (stoning), but think of the scientific probabillities! I mean, howzabout crossing sunkissed corns with red tail boas? I mean with only corns its not...

Considered using sheds as substrate? I keep all my sheds but don't have enough to fill my cages with, but will it work? I mean if you have had your snakes for a while (and youre keeping da sheds) its an ever lasting supply of free substrate. It's clean, and can look pretty damn funky!

These are my new enclosures. All those people with glass tanks: eat your hearts out. Sorry for kakkie foto's.

Was talking to someone today about my snakes and she asked if we can't give it milk to enhance calsium. Has anyone ever tried this? I think it might be too rich for da snake, but don't really know What do you guys think? Rich?:confused:

Although I love him 2 bits, my snake is irritating the rum outa me! He won't take F/T! Even the whole dangly thing doesn't work, he strikes, lets go and then looks for where my hands got in, and beware if I want to take the bloody pinky out again! HELP!:confused:

How do I change my user name?

Just want to share this with you guys. My friend has a class-mate who wants to sell off two baby yellow ratsnakes, but doesn't want to do so, because they have not yet eaten, fare enough untill you hear that for the past two months he only threw a couple of pinks into the cage and left it at...

I own a young corn and always figured it for normal... But today (can you believe it) I saw for the first time up close and personal what corns are supposed to look like! That coppery background colour... Mine doesn't have it! He does however have everything else and very bright and bold at...

I thought that corns only shed every 3 to four months, but now, less than a month since last shed, the eyes are turning milky. It's not yet fully milked yet but definately seems as if he'll shed in the week. Are my eyes deceiving me? or is this possible? Or could something actually be wrong...

What is better: Feeding every 3/4 days or Feeding double once a week? I want my baby to grow quickly and want to get him on fuzzies as soon a spossible. So now I want to get his growth up a bit. If I feed him 2/3 pinks in one session, how do I go about doing that? PS. He eats live pinks.

Little bit confused, tried to search but can't undertsand the "fancy" language all to well. What is Emoryi's rat snakes, Is it a type like great planes or Texas etc.? What's the differance excactly between hybrids and intergrades? And what makes breeding a rat/corn different from breeding a...

I posted a question a while back on how-come corns and kings can mate without becoming food. It's a difficult question and I got some great replies (like biggish female king to male corn etc.), but I thought I should add that 'apparently' in conjuction with those efforts a lot of hormone...

Okay, we all know pine is hazardous if swalowed by herps, but can a snake live in an enclosure of varnished pine? I don't see why not but I would like some personal advice please, don't want to make a uninformed mistake! Thanx!

I feed my baby every wednesday (he's still on pinkies) then he poops three times before next wednesday! Is this normal? Do snakes defacate a specified number of times in aweek and is it always three? So... How many times do your snakes poop?

Hi, I live near a nature reserve that basically allows anybody to walk through it and take a look at the fauna and flora and whatnot, but what about the snakes. What do I need to do my own field observing? How do I find snakes, where, and how should I go about compiling information. I don't...
