I got this fly in my head that I want to "spy" on my corn snake sometimes. Thinking about some kind of infrared IP camera, that can stay in the viv, and I can open up and see what's going on in there wherever I am from my phone. Wondering if anyone ever thought about this or know of some good...

We had her for about 2 months now, never refused a meal. She is always being fed in a separate container. Two days ago it was time to eat, so she was left with the little fuzzy--very same one as her two previous feedings. She sniffed it a bit, then didn't show any interest for an hour or...

So the moment finally came after 1 1/2 months since we got our first snake---she shed last night :) That's a first for us and we are really excited! The skin is one long uninterrupted piece. The head is complete with eye caps and everything, but since it's the first time we see something...

My corn has been with us for a month and a half already, she's doing fine, eating regularly, etc. Seems healthy, lively, poops on time, all good with her! However, she hasn't shed yet for this month and a half. I was just playing with her, and although we haven't noticed cloudy eyes yet, her...

I have a few different sized pinkies. I want to feed her 2x pinkies for a few feedings by combining the different sized, so that I get the whole meal weight to plan. My question is, when feeding the pinks one after the other, is it better to give her the bigger one first and then the smaller...

Hello, Fed the little 19 grams bugger a good sized 4 grams peach fuzzy 48 hours ago. All this time she spent the time at the top of her tree branch, where the temperature is about 72 F. Right below her is her warm side hide, about 84 F at the glass floor under the substrate (I use UTH). I...

Hi, just tonight I realized the pinks I've been feeding my 18 gram snake are way too tiny (2 pinks are only 3 gr). I was thinking, is it bad if I feed her every 3 days for a couple of times, so that I can get to peach fuzzies, or that's a bad idea? According to the Munson plan, a meal of 3...

Hello, Long story short---we had our corn for about a month now, she's about 17 inch long and we've been feeding her a small fuzzy a meal every 7 days for the last two feedings. Although she seemed to take it well, I was shocked to see that she's only 18 grams today (we finally bought a...

Hello, I'm a new snake owner (since 2 weeks). Every time I handle our young snake (about 17 inch in length), even though it appears curious, lively and at the same time not really stressed or anything, I feel these vibrations sometimes as she slides around my fingers. These vibrations remind...

Hello, Yesterday I bought from Staples a few rubber suction cups, and I used one of them to securely attach the thermostat and thermometer sensors to the bottom of the vivarium, right under the hide on the warm side. I washed the suction cup with warm water and soap before using it, but it...

Tonight we're planning to handle our new corn, which is about 2 months old. Being new at the hobby, I have a question: If the snake is in her hide (which is always), do I just lift the hide away from her and then pick her up? It sounds pretty mean to her, also don't want to make her think her...

Hello. We've had our little hypo motley female called Pretzel for a week now. Before we got her and after that, I posted a few threads and all of you folks have been extremely helpful, so thank you very much! I'd like to ask a question now regarding the thickness of the aspen substrate that...

Last night we fed our little snake for the first time. Since she's about 16 inch and kind of bigger than hatchings, the store recommended we give her a fuzzy instead of a pinky. Also, her thickest part appears less or just about 2/3 of the fuzzy girth, so we went ahead and did that, gave her a...

I'm starting to distrust the reptile shop, from where we bought our first corn a couple of days ago. How could they even not tell me that the heat pad could get really hot and potentially hurt the animal...but I digress.. I just bought a tiny additional hide and a branch. However, the branch...

I need some advice. Last night we bought a beautiful youngster (pictures here: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1525774&postcount=21), and she's our first snake. We set up the 10 gallon aquarium with a 8" x 8" heat pad (Exo Terra Heat Wave Desert), which covered exactly one...
