My newest addition to the family is Caolainn, who hatched July 1st. She arrived Tuesday in great condition. To avoid disturbing her, I'm including the breeder's latest picture. (pewter with 50% ph lavender) I'll try for more pics later on. Thanks SO MUCH to CRTURLEY and Live Oak Serpents for...

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone could help explain (and show) the split belly checkers attribute. What gene is responsible for this? In what morphs can it be expressed? I have a ghost that appears to have this (sorry, no pic, my camera's on the fritz). Is it possible that this is the case with...

Is anyone else having difficulty accessing Ian's Vivarium?

Hi all, Does anyone have, or have a link to, a good picture of a snow or other light male snake being candled for gender? I have a snow who is about 175 grams now, and I'm starting to suspect "she" might be a "he." I'm very inexperienced with sexing, and will probably confirm with the reptile...

Hi, Is there anyone in my area that might have a pewter female, or a female carrying 100% hets for charcoal and diffused? Additional hets would be a plus. I was hoping for a local breeder to avoid the dangers of Phoenix heat and shipping this time of year. I'd prefer well-started (11 months or...

Hi, I wasn't sure where to put this question, so here it goes. Could anyone tell me if there is a difference in overall health between hatchlings of different morphs? I've heard some say, for instance, that they have more difficulties with blizzard and snow morphs starting to eat and basically...

I have a snow female who weighs in at about 187 grams. I have no intention of breeding her at this point, and she's not co-habbing with anyone, but I've read some reports of young females producing slugs. My question is, at what age (size) should I start providing a laying box in case of...

I hope these are better. Vincent, my Pewter (motley), which I write like that since some disagree, has come home. He's had a week to acclimate, has produced a glorious shed and accepted a nice meal. I took his hide off and snapped a couple: I hope you enjoy. Thanks!

Hi all, Some pics of my youngest snake, Puzzle. She's female, hatched August 2013. Her colors have changed some since I posted a pic of her (naturally). What nine months will do. Is she a ghost? Thanks.

I just thought some might like to see how much bigger my snow has gotten. Her picture from last year (November 2013): Compared to now - about eleven months after her hatch date: I'm very happy with her! Hope you enjoy the photos. :)

Hi to all, Phoenix members or otherwise. I recently posted a bit about my incoming pewter (maybe motley) male, Vincent. He weighs in at about 250 grams now. I would like to connect to members of the forum who might be interested in a breeding loan to confirm or refute Vincent's motley status...

May I ask what brand or type of scale some of you might recommend for weighing cornsnakes (of all sizes)? I have an adult, juveniles and youngsters. Thanks!

A couple of pics to say hello from Mesa, AZ: Aphrodite, my snow: Red, my hypo bloodred: Hope they come out right - I'm a newbie with snake photography.

Just a couple of pictures of Vincent. He's a 260-gram boy. No knowledge of hets in his case. Reported to be a pewter motley.

Hi all, Could someone please clarify for me the difference in the action and appearance of motley and diffused? I've looked at a lot of pictures and read what I could find, but I'm still a bit confused. It seems like a good idea to see if you kind folks can help. A second question, if I may...
