We are still in the middle of our regurge protocol on our 3 month old corn. Since the regurge, we fed it a half pinkie for the second time last Sunday (8 days ago). Unless we missed it, he has not pooped. We went to go feed it another half pinkie today, and we noticed a slight bulge halfway down...

We are in the middle of a regurge protocol with our 3 month old cornsnake. We fed him for the first time in 12 days last Sunday a half pinkie and everything went fine. We went to go feed him another half pinkie tonight and apparently a very small part of the pinkie broke off and is stuck to the...

We have had our 3 month old cornsnake for 1 month now. The first 3 times we fed him there were no issues, digestion/pooping was fine. He just had his first shed with us last Saturday and voraciously took to a pinkie on Monday. Well yesterday (Tuesday) we found the regurge on the side of the...

What is the best way to clean a fake vine that has been hanging in the snake's viv? Just soak it in hot water or is there another more sterile way? Thank you as always!

About to feed our newly acquired hypo corn (had him 4 days) for the first time. Just want to plan ahead in case he doesn't take the pinkie right away. We are going to use a separate feeding container. How long should we leave him with the pinkie in case he doesn't take it right away? Also, how...

This is our setup as we have it now before we bring the snake home tomorrow. Please comment if you see anything that needs tweaking or changing. Also, I have another question about heating. The temp on the cool side is fine ranging from 69-74. The thermostat probe directly above the UTH secured...

First off, want to thank everyone who has responded. I know I've had a lot of questions but the more we experiment, the more questions we have, lol. Just want to get it right. Anyway, in securing the thermometer and thermostat probes to the glass inside the tank above the UTH, I read somewhere...

Have another couple of questions as we experiment with viv setup before getting our snake: 1) The temperature at night in our house drops to as low as 66 degrees. I know this is on the borderline low end for corn snake levels. Is that ok, or does it make sense to get like a space heater or...

Hi there, We are about to get our first baby corn snake but have heard varying opinions on whether or not a thermostat is necessary for the UTH. Everyone on here seems to think so but the 4 reptile stores I've talked to say it is not necessary, that the snake will just move over to the cool...
