My cornsnake went into shed and now he looks bright again but I can't find his shed skin anywhere in his tank? Can they go out of shed if the conditions arent right or is he clearing up and about to rub off his skin?

Ok I have a UTH on him right now, since its a bit cooler these days.. in summer I didnt use one because it was steaming hot in my apartment. OK so I just got a new red bulb to use in my heat lamp (for the winter). So which side to I put it the lamp on? Do i put it above where the UTH is or on...

my ball python i just got a month or two ago i think he has Inclusion Body Disease but i might just be over worrying but im really scared!!! ok so when i got him the people who sold me him told me he didnt eat for months because he was just bred. i took him to the vet recently because of a...

question about a ball python (sorry this is a corn forum) i bought a ball python recently and the woman who sold him to me said he was just bred so he hasn't been eating. Also she fed him live rats. When should I expect him to start eating again, and low long should i wait before giving up...

ok ive read in a few places that snakes possibly cannot be near incense so i was deciding to get rid of my incense all together. but i really want to keep my oil burners with essential oils. I rarely use them but I don't want to stop using them altogether.. id be using them in the same room as...

I didn't handle my corn for maybe a month or more ( I had bronchitis for longer than 1 month) so i mainly handled my ball python because hes just more fun to hang out with. now hes completely scared of me. should I handle him every day for a few mins to get him used to me again? when i...

when i woke up this morning my cornsnake terrarum glass was covered in slimy green yellow smudge and my corn snake was violently rubbing his nose and head on the glass. i noticed that he laways rubs his head on glass but this time i dont know what the hell happened. i already took my ball...

i have never fed a snake a live feeder and my new snake might only eat live ones because he was previously fed that. if it comes to that i will because i love my new snake to bits but i wont like it really,. but will get used to it. do you have any advice on feeding live rats? i know i have...

I feed my corn snake every week but last week I did not feed him. I've been sick for 3 weeks including at some point straining my back and was bed bound at one point. I was thinking its not a big deal right? they can go a long time without eating. I'm about to feed him right now, mouse is...

my snake just got out of shed (it's a ball python) and he is acting weird. he still wont let me handle him, and this morning he was making nasaly noises. like it sounded like when you have a cold and your nose whistles. what could be wrong?

i just got a ball python last night. i know this isnt cornsnake related but i dont know who to ask. this morning i noticed his nose looks red almost bloody, what could be wrong?

i fed my snake friday or saturday and he hasnt pooped yet. i put him in some warm water two days ago but for not very long (he hated it and was hissing at me) should i put him in the bathtub this time? or is this somewhat normal? thanks

this may sound silly but i feel like my cornsnake is bored sometimes. I feel bad sometimes because I feel like a 30 gallon tank isnt big enough for a snake to roam around like it would in the wild. I was thinking of having a outdoor cage for it maybe and bringing it outside in the summer...

can you feed a corn a whole chicken egg once in a while?
