Here are our four colonies of mice. I became concerned after reading sasheena's website because it said that mice with coats of mostly white are usually infertile... did I read this correctly? If I did, and you know how the whole mouse genetics work, please let me know. I've only had two of...

I went to petsmart this afternoon and bought a mouse. While I was holding him at the store he bit me on the finger tip. No big deal. It happens. BUT 1/2 hour later (by the time I got home) my fingertip was tingling, swollen, hard and HURTS (typing is not much fun right now) I went to a...

We had a litter of mice about a week ago and would like to know how to tell what gender they are. What do we look for? The obvious is not so obvious as we look underneath. Are there different things to look for? Thank you, Clayton

We've had one of our hatchlings for around 7 weeks now. He hasn't eaten a single meal since we got him. We force fed him a leg around a week ago and then tried a live scented pinkie 5 days later. He did not eat. We took him to the vet and he was deemed healthy other than not eating. He is...

We wanted to share a picture of one of our "stranger" looking snakes. This is Yu, an '05 male bloodred from SMR. We don't think he is "pretty", but we think he looks pretty neat.

The variety and beauty of all of the different morphs out there is one of the reasons for my addiction. When I show non-corn-snakers out there the range, they are amazed. I think this picture of our little female anery hanging out with our little motley sunglow (thank you Sparda!) is a perfect...

Has any one here ever been asked to receive a money order for thousands of dollars to ship a $35 snake to Nigeria through an "agent" that would actually do all of the shipping? Some sort of scam or money washing? The woman who asked me to do it says she just really "loves snakes" but that...

My kids and I were discussing the possible upcoming brumation period for our snakes. We looked at a lot of information here on the forums and figured we have 3 options for our adults: 1. Not brumate. 2. Brumate using a portable AC for a shorter period of time since the AC unit will only go...

We purchased a really nice boy snow het caramel from Serpenco who is really cool. His name is Kronos. Me and my mom were looking at him and he has a lot of yellow caramelly color. We were wondering since you told us anery is stronger than caramel if he might be full caramel and if we could...

Ultras... Thank you I got the snakes, they are beautiful (I have yet to see a corn that isn't). Thank you!!!

we are going to buy a baby lavander snake. Some look dark brown and others look lighter brown. Which ones will look more lavenderier as an adult?
