Okay, so brief backstory: I've had Lorenzo since he was a hatchling (and I was a wee 13 y/o lol), so he's about 6 years old now. When he was younger, I was a lot better at handling him regularly and being really active in taking care of him. But then high school happened, and my mental heath...

So recently I decided to get re-invested in this whole hobby/community rather than just quietly taking care of my single snake. I probably won't be able to get any more for awhile, but I'd like to eventually. Which led me to looking up different corn snake morphs to see if there's any others I...

Before I get into this, let me start by explicitly clarifying that this thread is for me to ask for information, not to start debates. I've seen a lot of discussion about genetic defects and whether or not they should be culled or kept as pets etc. with a lot of opinions and I'm trying to...

Don't worry, this isn't another "Can I put multiple in one tank???" thread. I'm just wondering how those of you who have several snakes (like more than 5) keep them all? The best solution I found was like a three stack terrarium set, which still seems like it would take up a lot of space...

Hey y'all. When I logged in today it showed my last visit as March 2013 so I figured maybe I should do this whole introduction thing over again, since I've changed so much and I doubt people remember who I am anyways lol. Thought about just making a new account but this one's got history...

Hi! :) I'm going to an expo tomorrow, and I'm bringing a novelty with me. I got this idea from a dog therapy group that was volunteering at a service project that I was volunteering at. Animal trading cards! It's a little card with pictures and descriptions of the pets. If dogs can do it, why...

Hi! :) I'm pretty sure I'm going to NARBC in Anaheim is weekend. I'm mostly going because I hear you can get mice there for way cheaper than the 3 packs I get at Petco. :P As usual, I have questions! XD I only have one snake, a hatchling. Last time I weighed him he was 10 grams, and he's maybe...

I just got pooped on by Lorenzo. :-puke02: I was surprised, to say the least. I had just fed him on Monday and thought he would be ok to handle today (Thursday). I handled him yesterday with no problems. I noticed that his eyes are cloudy and his scales are dimming, so I guess he's going to shed...

FUUUUUUUUUU! I just found out Snookie gave birth to a boy. This fact alone is depressing, but then I found out what she named him. She named him Lorenzo! Lorenzo! Now everytime someone meets my snake they're gonna ask if I'm a fan of Jersey Shore! :realhot: I can't stand that show! D: Of all the...

I keep trying to take pictures of my snake Lorenzo but I can't seem to get any good ones. :( I have a little digital camera, I guess it's called a "point and shoot". It doesn't let me change a whole lot of settings (well it does, but not the ones I want like shutter speed and Iso), and I have no...

Hi! :) So after feeding Lorenzo a live pinky, I decided to go frozen from now on (it's a long story, there's another thread on that one). I looked into online stuff but you have to buy A LOT of mice for it to be worth the shipping, and it'll go bad waaayyyy before he eats it all. It turns out...

I just fed my baby Lorenzo for the first time on Tuesday! :D I know it was a little early for getting him on Friday (exactly a week ago), but my mom kept bugging me and was all worried because the store said they usually feed the snakes on Thursdays but they hadn't yet so he'd gone a while...

Hi! I just got a snake and my viv is all set up. :) I was just wondering, how to I get the thermometer/thermostat probe INSIDE while keeping the reader/controller OUTSIDE like the directions say? With the wire coming out the cage closes and latches but there's a little gap and I'm worried my...

Hi! I just got my first snake! :D I finished setting up the viv and now I'm leaving him alone to rest. :) But I just want to make sure my viv is set up properly. I disagreed on some things the guy said but my mom was listening to the "professional" instead of me, whose information I got straight...

So, I really want a corn snake, but my parents aren't really going for it. I had written a 1 and a half page "proposal" to my parents and my mom was impressed by it, but she didn't really take it seriously. So I wrote one last thing. I four and a half page (at least in Word, not G Docs) paper on...
