to a nasty, mean Borneo Blood Python! :) I don't have a pic cause I don't have a camera. Even if I did, the only shot I could get is one of it chewing on my hands (which seems to be it's favorite pass time). I've had it for 2 days, been bit 3 times already. I'm going to let it get...

I'm a little hesitant to post this, considering that I have been reading all of the Controversial Topic threads the past two days (makes one a little gun shy). I have a B/W Cali King that has only taken 1 meal in the past three months. A little background on this snake... He has, to this...

I recently purchased a Cali King. It is about 3 - 3 1/2 feet long. Good sized. Do I still pick food that is 1 1/2 times bigger than it's widest area? Do Kings of this size still eat every 7 days, or is it cut back? I've been feeding it small rats. Takes it awhile to get it down, but the...

I recently bought a Cali King, about 3 feet long. I don't keep my Corn and King anywhere near each other. I handle the King a lot because s/he is so mellow. After handling the King, I went to take out my Corn, and s/he went nuts on me. I've never seen it act like this before. It's tail was...

I decided to take a stab at breeding mice, so I went out and bought a male and female. They are in a 10 gallon viv. When I bought them, the sales person said that she wouldn't be ready to breed for another week. It has now been 6 weeks, and nothing. If I didn't know better, I would think...

since Debo has eaten. It started with him regurging a couple of pinkies. Now, he just won't eat. I left him in his feeder for 40 minutes (the feeder is a dixie cup with a lid on it). There is not enough room in there for him to "forget" that the food is present. I don't know how old he is...

This was my original post, but it was taken over :) http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26243 There has been a new development. Let's start from the beginning. My snake is in a 10 gallon, newspaper substrate (soon to be aspen again, had a mite problem), 50 watt (red bulb)...

Naga is ready to shed, that's appearent even to a layman like myself. He has been ready for atleast a week, I'd say. Our other corn shed last Saturday, and tehy went into blue phase within a day of eachother. We soak naga in the bathtub about 15-20 minutes everyday (for the past few days) to...

Ashley called me yesterday and told me that there was a black bug crawling on her Snow. It was kind of ironic, because I was just looking through the forum and reading about mites. I told her to look around Gia's eyes and chin for black spots. She found a mite on her eye, and black specs in...

I'm starting to sound like a broken record, and wonder if I should even own snakes... This was from a previous post, but it was on page two and I wasn't getting any responses, so I made a new post (sorry for the clutter). Thanks for all of your responses! We know have the hot side perfect...

Hey everyone. I posted a heating problem yesterday, and I appreciate all of your help. But, I have gone and complicated things. Our snakes have a new home in a 20 gallon viv (yes, they are together for right now, I've gotten the lectures :) Problem: Like I said, our snakes (hatchlings) are...

Hello all! Once again, as a newbie, I turn to you for advice. My girlfriends snow corn is displaying some unusual (for her) behavior. For the first time last night, she is climbing up a vine to the top of the cage, and wedging herself between the lid and the aquarium wall. She gets her...

Hey everyone. I just joined this forum today and wanted to say "Hi". A little about us... My name is Dan. I live with my girlfriend Ashley and her two kids, Kien (14 months) and Alice (5 years). We recently bought two corns, a Crimson (my snake, named Naga) and a Snow (Ashley's, not yet...

Hello all. I'm a virgin here, this is my first post. My girlfriend and I recently bought two corns (crimson and snow) while we were out buying a pet for her daughter. The current setup for the corns is: 10 gallon tank, "astroturf" bedding, side mounted Retip-Therm, metal lamp w/ 60 watt bulb...
