I've been having some problems with my 03 Striped Amel. Here's his most recent records (below)... He's always been a good eater, but then his mid section seemed a little swollen (like he had just eaten.. some kind of lump or something) and he didn't seem to have an appetite (1/20). At first I...

When dusting pinks how do you know what's too much or not enough? I know too much (vitamins or calcuim) can be as bad as not enough, so how do you know what the right amount to use is? Can anyone give me some advice on dusting... how the best way to do it is. Also, I've heard somewhere only...

Tap vs Bottled (spring and distilled) I've done searches about this topic and I wasn't convinced one way or the other about which is the best water to give to my corns. Bottled water seems to be preferred over tap water, but is SPRING or DISTILLED best? I know one arguement is that spring...

I know Rich, Don, and Cathy are three big breeders of corns in the US... are there any bigger? Who would be considered the biggest? Just curious IndianaCorn

I was going to make some new hides out of PVC pipe by cutting it in half lengthwise. Anyways, I'd like to paint them and give them a little better look. My question is.. what kind of paint I should use.. or does it matter if i use a sealant? What kind of sealant is best.. or do I even need...

I live in Indiana... I know hard to figure out from the handle right? Anyways, with all the snake/reptile shows that go on around the country why haven't I been able to find any that come to Indiana? I think about the closest I've been able to find one is in Columbus Ohio and lets just say...

Do all striped amels background color get darker and darker as they age to where the stripes don't show up like they used to? Does this have anything to do with possibly having bloodred genes somewhere down the line? IndianaCorn

When do your corns start to be active? Mine don't seem to come out untill around midnight or later! Could this be becuase they are young < a year, or is this completely normal? I've read numerous places saying they are active at dusk and early morning... so what times do yours come out and...

Two morphs i'm planning on getting soon and would like to see your best pics.. A good place for you to show them off too! Thanks, IndianaCorn

I'm getting another corn and am going to be ordering a large amount frozen mice (since shipping is so high to buy just a few at a time). My question is.. Approxiamately how many pinkies/peach fuzz/fuzzies/hoppers does it take before it's big enough to eat adult mice? And is there anything...

I was wondering all the behavioral and physical differences of each of the sexes, to better help me decide the sex of my next corn. For example of a few questions i have... Is one more likely to be better tempered than the other (based on your experiences)? Does one sex usually get bigger...

Can corns have Scars? I got a normal that appears to have had a few scales knocked or scraped off at some point. Right now it's basically a white line of new scales with very little color. Will this eventually heal and have the color return through several sheds? Has anybody else experienced...
