My snow is a male, I assume, based on how quickly the tale tapers after the vent and how long the tail is. He has been highly active recently. He's my classroom pet, but his viv is up to standards with temps and humidity, etc. He was fed this morning (medium adult mouse- left no visible bulge...

:-offtopic Not corn related, but snake related, certainly. Our baby BP (hatched in February) ate a large adult mouse today. He struck. It popped. Guts, heart, lungs, intestines... everywhere. I waited until he finished, gave him a quick rinse in luke warm water, and put him back in his viv to...

My root beer snake has taken to being out and about after eating. She ate two pinks tonight, and has been cruising her Viv ever since. I have noticed that she was active after her last feeding and hid under her water bowl when she was done digesting. I haven't seen her for a week. I feed her...

Belly shot from snake featured in "She's a normal, right?" Possible rootbeer. Okay. Here is a belly shot that I was able to get. Chip wanted to get a look at her belly. Still think she is a rootbeer?

Meet Brownie. Tiny thing, only 20 grams or so. She was purchased from a reptile store who gets product directly from breeders. I didn't, however, ask for a hatch date or anything. I've had her for a month and a half now. I THINK she's a normal, possibly Miami. Not sure. HELP!! Cell phone pics...

This is Willow. I'm trying to figure out if she's just a plain snow, or something else. Her coloring is not something I've seen here or on Ian's. So, here she is. I'm not sure when she was hatched. She is 47 cm long and 20 grams. Still just a baby. I'm asking because her splotches seem to have...

I have learned so much here! You all helped me improve the life of a 4yeaar old normal. Snake is kept at school in another grade level. I had gone to his owner to ask about him and his care. She was feeding him 2 pinkies every week to a week and a half. He had a Uth with no thermostat, so it...

Hi! I'm Christa. I have recently fallen in love with Corn Snakes. They are truly amazing. I joined here when I got my first corn 3 weeks or so ago. Since then I have added another corn and a bp. I must say, I love this group. So full of knowledge. My husband says I'm obsesssed with snakes...

What do you use to mist your Viv? I have some stinky smelling Zilla tropical spray that came with the snake kit that I use once a week or so to mist in there. But can I use water instead? I use it for my corn and our bp. I need something for Willow that I can use at school, so no chemicals. I...

Okay, guys. I now have both corns on Uth, and I purchased the Hydrofarm thermostat. How does this thing work? I know the probe is supposed to go in the Viv under the substrate (aspen at this point), but my locking screen on top won't close with the cord in the way. So for now I have it between...

I just got my first corn last week. She promptly escaped (human error) and my precious snow was gone. My husband, meanwhile, got me a new corn, not sure of the morph because i cant find any similar pics, her name is brownie. My original corn, the snow whom I named Willow, was found yesterday...
