Title pretty much says it all. Will it be ok to leave my 6.5-8 month old cornsnake for 3 weeks without being fed? He is currently on hoppers and is 60-63 grams. I'm asking because I will be leaving for Spring break thursday I would rather not have him lying in poop for a week. Seeing as how...

Hey all, Well. I have quite the conundrum on my hands. My female 1500g, 3 years old, virgin (popped at least 8 times) just shed. After examining her, I noticed that she had some "gooey" stuff coming from her anal slit. She has done this about a month before this (I have a thread on it) where...

Hey all, well, about 2 weeks ago after I fed my female BP, I picked her up to hold her and noticed that she had a very very very small "chip" in one of her scales with some brownish/reddish stuff in the chip. Kinda like she slid over something sharp and it caught the scale. After looking at the...

Hey all, I currently have my corn in a 15q sweater box in my rack but bought him a 28q sterilite underbed tub last night in anticipation of him moving up. After seeing how much hes grown, I'm trying to decide if its time to move him up. Opinions?

Hey all, As a poor college student, I finally decided to purchase a Herpstat PRO and never have to worry about temps ever again! The reptitemps were becoming a little nervewracking and I don't think I can trust them when I'm gone for a week so I decided to pony up the 323.99 for the herpstat...

Hey, My corn, which I got as a "2 month" hatchling from Petsmart in early august is now 55g and eating mice hoppers. So, in 6 months, hes gained 40 some odd grams. Is 55g at around 7-8 months a healthy weight?

Both my corn snake and my kingsnake are in shed. My question is whether I should mist the tubs once a day to boost humidity even though my humidity is always around 59-62% without misting? Is it like a BP where they need 70-80+% to have a good shed? Thanks in advance!

Hey all, My 2.5 year old BP has some patches of wrinkled, flaky scales. Now, she has had this before during her last shed. She got it about a week or two before she went into shed but it was due to horrid humidity ( I went away for thanksgiving came back to a spilled water bowl and bone dry...

I've been meaning to share my collection with you all for some time now and since I just posted this in the other thread, I thought "might as well go ahead and put up the good ole collection thread" so here goes! The corn I'm pretty sure is an Amel. Could be wrong though. I got him from...

Just found out my Florida is a Goini subspecies of King. Very interesting. I'm assuming that Goini and brooksi hit same size since they are both part of the Floridana? And that 623g, about as big around as a pill bottle, and 4-4.25' at 4 years of age is healthy?

Well, just got my first bite and it was Loki, my king. I had just eaten some chocolate ice cream and spilled some on my finger which I wiped off. Then took out Loki for some relaxment and he kept licking/sniffing my fingers. Next thing I know he latches onto the left middle finger right above my...

Hey all, I just bought flexwatt and am having a hell of a time getting the temps set on it. It is taped the back of the rack with the probe on the very endof it. The reptitemp's are set almost on the lowest possible setting on the dial and they are just barely hitting 84-85. My question is...

hey all, When I first got my 2006, 4-4.25' long male Florida King in late October, early November he weighed 592g. Now, after him being on a "feed 1 XL mouse every 2 week regimen", he is 623g. Is this a Healthy weight for him? He doesn't look skinny or underfed, eats, poops and sheds like...

Got a question. I have my 2010 cornsnake in my 3 41q tub rack in a 16 quarter with the lid on the top. Everything has been going great but the humidity wont go below 80%! If I take the top off, he manages t get out, even with cardboard, etc to make the tub lid flush with the top. This is...

Hey, After reviewing a bunch of caresheets online, I'm getting a mixed message. The majority say to keep my Florida King at 70-80 cold side and 81-91 hot side but a few say to keep them at 70-75 cold and 80-85 hot. I've been keeping him at 70-75 cold and 84 hot but I just boosted the heat to...
