He was on my back porch. I almost stepped on him. He did not strike at me. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. I've been Googling, but I'm so bad at this type of thing. Thanks for any help...He had a creamy underbelly.

I've been in the process of moving and Lavagirl just finished a shed, so she didn't eat for a week. I was thawing out the pinkies in some plastic wrap on top of her viv and you could see her smelling that her supper was in the air. When I put the first pinkie in, she lunged out and snatched...

I was wondering why she has been hiding the last few days and is not exploring like she normally does at night. She ate four days ago just fine, no regurg or anything like that. Being a newbie, I had to know if she was okay, so I felt around in the aspen bedding and found her. She's getting...

Tonight when changing out the paper towel when removing Lavagirl to feed her, I saw a black spot on there like pepper. I looked again and it was moving! Then I checked and saw a couple other little black spots like pepper but they were not moving. I got her before she ate and checked her...

Are snakes like rabbits, mice, birds where when you have them out if they have to poo, they are gonna poo on you? Lavagirl isn't a pooing machine, but she's not backed up either. Just curious...

I have handled snakes here and there over the years by way of people who had them, etc. and was never frightened by them. Saw some Corn hatchlings at a Petco and noticed that a couple of them had shriveled up necks. Went home and Googled it and found out what was wrong. Found out that they...

I have a Zoo Med UVA basking bulb set to "normal" daylight hours (when it's light outside) and then an Exo Terra Night-Glo moonlight bulb to keep her warm at night since she's a hatchling. I know that there are the red heat bulbs also - are they better for the corns? I kind of went with the...

Got an albino corn hatchling several days ago. While it has been hard, I have left her alone to acclimate to her new home. She's in a 10 gallon aquarium with aspen bedding and hide boxes in the "warm" area, in the middle and in the "cool" area. I fed her a pinkie mouse about four days ago...
