My job recently was featured on local news for operating on a wild rat snake and removing a golfball. I kept her at my home for 4 weeks and we released her last week. Check it out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MDxpH888Wgs&feature=player_embedded

Hey everyone! Havent posted in a super long time! I am looking for any general advice with this snake Im keeping for a bit. Ive never owned anything except corns but being the resident snake person at work I kind of got volunteered to take care of this guy while he heals. Luckily I have an...

hello everyone! I am looking for a new thermostat for my snake enclosure that houses 4 snakes, it has a heat pad in each compartment. I had bought a rheostat, but the lowest setting is still too hot. I did a search on here and saw many of you use the hydrofarm thermostat, but it only controls...

I checked on my corns this morning and to my shock I saw an egg in her water bowl. She has never been bred, I don't breed so I really do not know about these things...She did lay a clutch about 2 years ago also... I picked her up gently and had my bf snap a pic, you can see she has a bunch of...

Hi everyone!! My boyfriend and I finally completed our new vivarium. The dimensions are 72 H by 49 long by 18 deep. (The interior dimensions are 48 inches long by 18 deep We got the wood at Lowes, I believe its birchwood and the part we used for the shelves already comes in 48 by 18 sheets...

I havent been around in a super long time but I used to frequent here alot as a newbie. Anyway I just checked in with my corns and my ghost is laying eggs! I was under the assumption they dont do that unless you mate them....was I wrong? Ive heard horror stories about corns being eggbound so...

My boyfriend is complaining he doesnt have a building project to work on so Im giving him one. I want tobuild a snake enclosure that looks like a piece of furniture....similar to the snake pantry I made...but it needs to be stained and sealed because itllbe wood. I didnt use wood last time...

I've seen them on a few websites. They are acrylic reptile cages that fit right into the fireplace cove. I'm wondering if anyone here has one? Id like to have my fireplace taken apart and have a vivarium put in there. The inside of my fireplace has ventilation and a UL outlet for a heat mat...

I read a while back these guys can live up to 20 years. I'm wondering if anyone on the forum has any corns that are up there in years? Does anyone know if any of our members have any that are 10, 15, 0r 20 years old?

I got some shots of my RO chowing down this afternoon....she never constricts but I moved the mouse after she took 15 minutes to find it and wham.... And then this curious guy strolls out... He is squinting cause I was yelling at him LOL

Some of you have seen her.... I foster Labs for the North Carolina Lab rescue, and got this little girl 2 weeks ago. To make a long story short, I got a call from the rescue about how the 3 pups look too "mixed" to adopt out, and they were sending them to a pitbull rescue, cause they look like...

All the people that find out I own snakes and make that disgusted look like I keep something repulsive in my home, well. I also foster for the North Carolina, Labrador rescue.... I went to the store for 20 minutes.... She obviously has separation anxiety. My brand new freaking home...

I have been wondering about this for a while, Im curious what the rest of you, experiences are. I dont have that much experience with regurges, thankfully, but I have noticed something. Why are some of them more vulnerable to them, then others? My RO, regurged once a long time ago. I had...

I was cage cleaning today and hadnt handled my ghost in a while, so I took her. I know they can become uncomfortable with handling when you havent handled for a while, but she was doing this thing where I lifted her up and she started whipping the rest of her body around. I let her calm down and...

on a shed? One of my corns shed and I took the shed out of her viv, and I noticed right on the part that covered her cloaca, there is 2 dots of dry blood. Is that normal?
