Im moving 7 hours away from my present home period. what is the best way to transport my 3yo corn and 7 month old BP. I was thinking just in tupperwear and some sort of heat source? my second part of the question is can I use hot paws as a heat source?

if i left a mouse in my snakes tank over night and it didnt get eating is it ok to re-freeze it and use it again?

I noticed a lump on my corns spine in two places a few weeks ago. I took him to the vet 2 times and all he says is it looks like an injury so leave him be for while. The lumps seem to be getting worse slowly and my corn can barely move his tail end half. When ever I put him in his home he goes...

I left on a military exercise for about 10 days and got my wife to feed my corn. She got scared of him because he started snapping when he smelled the mouse so she decided to feed him in his enclosure. She watched him eat about half then left and she says there was not substrate attached to the...

Is there anything wrong with using fake plants that you can buy at like a dollar store or walmart?

iv noticed a kind of kink in my snake recently that wasn't there before. I thought at first it was just a lump from his food but that was about a month ago. It just looks like a part of his body is ever so slightly bent. He has always been a grump when hes handled but he seems more so lately. It...

there a 50 meter spot on the road i travel on to get to work and there is always piles of dead snakes there so i decided to cruise down there and take any snakes that were on the road so they wouldn't get killed. I put them in a field near my house after taking a few pictures. I though id find...

I have two snakes. A ball python and my corn. My ball is the calmest most docile snake iv ever seen. Now my corn on the other hand is like a grumpy old man. I can handle him for a while and hes fine but some days he is just strait up pissed off i bothered him. I always reach in with a glove and...

My 3 year old corn( that iv had for 2 months) was acting weird tonight. He kept opening and closing his anal flap(i believe that's what its called) as if he was going to poop. He does poop on me often if i hold him and he has it. Hes pooped 2 times and should have nothing left. My fiancee...

I think there was a thread on here about this before but i couldnt find it. How do you all feel about letting your snakes explore your lawns and out side a little bit.

I give me corn at least 48 hours after feeding before i do anything with him. This time though i fed him 24 hours ago but i had some out of town friends that i don't see very often. They wanted to see him so i lifted his hide and accidentally touched him. He took a snap at my hand, No big deal i...

I use an under tank heater and keep the warm side at about 82-88. Should i also worry about the air temp because the heat pad does nothing for the over all temp of the rest of the tank. If i get a ceramic heat lamp will that make my snake more active throughout the rest of the tank?

Me and my Fiancee had a great idea for a DIY hide. We took a cast of a purchased hide using clay casting metal bought a dollar store for 2 bucks. After we had it shaped we used self drying clay bought at the same dollar store for 2 bucks. Everything looked like it was going to be great and very...

Im bringing home a ball python in a few days. Iv been regulating his Viv. I Think i have it where i want it. Id like to put my corn in the tank for a while to make sure the head pat doesn't get to hot with a snake resting on it and to make sure the heat control device i bought still holds the...

Iv built my viv as you can check out in the DIY area. Now I'm stuck though. I really don't want to use a heat lamp and I want to use a heat mat. How can i do this inside of the viv. Is there any water proof ones or ones that can be used inside of a viv. Any idea on how to solve this problem...
