I posted on Craigslist lookign for a snake, and I got an e-mail from some guy who says he works for the Discovery channel, has worked with Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin. He's telling me that only stupid, irresponsible buffoons can manage to have a Corn Snake escape, and that I should never own any...

I am looking for a Corn Snake around Philadelphia, PA. That is the closest large city to me, and I would liketo pick up my new pet. I really don't care what color or morph it is, I am just looking for a nice pet that is good to chill with, and is a good eater. I do love the bright yellow ones...

I got home from work today, and apparently Kaa escaped from both his tank and his room, because the cats got to him in the hall just outside of the room. I can't believe it, I took every precaution I thought possible to keep him in his tank. They didn't play with him though, from the looks, just...

OK, I weighed my snake, and he is 0.03 lbs. I need help converting this to grams, or if someone knows a site that I can use. I figure I need to go to ounces and than from ounces to grams. Thanks so much!

OK, Kaa just shed, so I decided since he is half a week behind on eating, I would feed him. He ate the pinkie no problem, had it down past his mouth in less than 10 minutes. I fed him at about 2:32, Mouse was past his mouth by say 3:42, and the bump is already a good 5 inches down his body, so...

OK, here's the deal. I went to get Kaa out to feed him Sunday, and noticed his skin was flaking off. So, I decided not to feed himt his week to give him a chance to shed. I don't want regurges or anything. Now, is it OK that his skin isn't coming off in one piece? I gave him a moist hide and...

I feed Kaa in a seperate container. How long should I wait for him to eat in there, I mean to strike at the prey and decide to eat, and than how long before putting him back in his tank? Thanks, I'm SOOOOOOOOOO nervous!!! I'm just terrified he'll regurge for some reason...

K, so I went to feed Kaa tonight. apparently my pinks slipped out of the freezer when I wasn't looking and they thawed. Can I refreeze them if I do it quickly, or should I just toss them? I can't believe this, what a stupid mistake...

OK, what's better; to spray the cage down lightly or to put a humid hide in? And should this be done at all times or only when the snake looks like it is going to shed/is shedding? What is the best way to keep humidity up?

OK, no pic yet, but soon. I'm hoping someone know by my description. He's a very dark brown all over, lighter towards his head. He has orange-red saddles with thin black lines around them. Like I said, everything is lighter towards his head. See, the problem is, I can't quite find a pic that...

OK, so I brought Kaa home Sunday afternoon. She has been happilyu cruising her container, I found her in a different place whenever I look. Following her schedule, tomorrow is her first feeding with me (gulp!). So, what do I do to prepare the itsy bitsy baby mousey? My general plan at the moment...

I have a little baby corn snake, about 9 or 10" long now. I am feeding him pinky mice right now. What I want to know is, is there anything else I can feed him to liven up his diet a little, maybe once a month or every two months or something just for variety? Someone suggested feeder fish, but I...

OK, so I am getting the UTH for my enclosure, and the plan is to get the (Flukers?) dual Digital Thermometer/Hydrometer that sells at Petco for $19.99. My question is, how do I use these together? I mean, I won't be there 24/7 looking in, so how do I know if it is getting too hot when I am not...

Which side of the tank should the waterbowl be on, the hot side of the cool side. I was thinking hot, but if they want to cool down in it that won't work very well, will it?

Looking around the internet, I have seen quite a few people with 10, 20, 30, 40+ snakes. My question is this; How do you handle all of them? Give them all attention, keep them all nice and tame? Is that even possible? I mean, if you try to handle each snake a minimum of 20 - 30 minutes a day...
