My cat caught a ring neck and injured it. The wounds seem to be limited to peeled scales and scratch marks. We have a tone of these that nest under the house. I am wondering if I should keep it until it heals or release it injured. It is in the low 50's right now and the snake was...

My nephew just called me and asked if I would take in his Burmese Python. This nephew is how I ended up with a Corn Snake. He once again jumped in a bought a snake, this time without asking the new wife, and cannot keep it. Everyone on here was so helpful when I was learning to care for my...

My snake has been trying to shed for a couple of weeks. She is usually in blue for around 3 days and sheds pretty quickly after that. This time she went blue two weeks ago and then nothing happened. It was her feeding time so I got her out and measured her and got a weight on her. Finally got...

I am out of frozen mice and it will be the middle of June before I can travel to where I get them. It is a 80 mile trip. I was making it once a month but things have occurred and I didn't make it this month. My local pet store only sells live feeders. I asked her about getting frozen ones...

The last couple of times I have feed my girl she is out hunting the next day. I bought adult mice but they look a little small to me. When I feed her she doesn't have very much of a bulge and it is gone within a few hours. I think two would be too much. If I can't get bigger mice, should I...

I cannot stay on here more than three minutes without a LandRover add poppling up and blocking everything. Now way to close it.

My nephew has decided he wants his corn snake back and I do not want to let her go. If you read my previous post you can see why. Long story short, bad care. I have grown attached to her. He does not have a permanent home. He is 18 years old and engaged to a 26 year old woman with a baby...

I finally got a scale and weighed my girl, Pumpkin. Her weight is 171.4 grams and length is around 35 inches. She could be a little longer because she was squirming so much I had a time holding the tape measure along her length. She just came out of blue. I don't know if that affects weight...

Hi, I am hoping to attend the Kentucky Reptile Expo in Lexington, KY in February and I was wondering about a few things. I am interested in picking up a new corn snake and would like some idea of what kind of prices to expect so I can be sure to take enough money. I also wanted to know if...

I have been feeding my girl every 10 days and she usually starts her hunting behavior around 5 days after her meal. She went 14 days between feeding once this month because of shedding but she is usually a hungry girl and ready by the tenth day. I had some issues with her warm side temps which...

I have a four foot long viv with a medium Zoomed heat mat attached to the bottom of a ceramic tile. The tiles have just short of an inch airspace underneath that runs the entire length of the viv. I am using a Zoomed rheostat temp control turned down as far as it will go. I have an...

I am planning out another viv for a future snake and was wondering if snakes notice themselves in mirrors. The snake I currently have hides if she sees any movement in the room. I was wondering if I cover the plexiglass with one way mirror tint, if the mirror would bother her. In order for...

I am looking at getting a salmon snow but was recently offered the sale of a salmon motley. I did a web search and the photos I found of salmon motley's look about like the photos of salmon snows. All this morph stuff gives me a headache trying to figure out. I just know I liked the greenish...

I have been trying to find a local corn snake breeder or herp club and so far have had no luck. Looking for one close to the Kentucky/West Virginia border. I tried various internet searches but everything I have found is on the opposite side of the state.

Pumpkin is rearranging her viv. I fed her Monday and she usually hides for a few days to digest but she has been peaking out from behind her hide since she was fed. Sort of hiding but keeping an eye on things. So today I got her out for a little bit. She wasn't as active and kept trying to...
