Hey All. Well First Of All, I want to say that I hope you and your cornsnakes are all doing well. It has been MONTHS since I logged on. Just busy life with 3 little guys. Once school and hockey started I have had little time for anything but homework and driving to the rink. SO, sorry to do...

Pebbles took her first couple meals in the deli cup that she was shipped in, but I feel that it's a bit cramped up in there (and it will certainly be too small soon!). Is there a rule of thumb for the size of container you use to feed your snake? I'm going by the hardware store this afternoon...

Hey everyone, I am so excited to share these photos with you! Pebbles is 3 months old today! She is such a sweetie and super active at night - it has been very fun to watch her cruise all around her viv. Today, I took her out for a couple photos. She is about 11 grams and 15.5 inches long...

Hey all. :wavey: I've been staying away for a while so I wouldn't get obsessively worried. :laugh: Good News! Pebbles had a perfect perfect shed a few days ago and finally ate her first pinkie in my care on Sunday night! :dancer: I am so relieved. I had to leave her overnight with the...

Just as I suspected (and semi-worried about), Pebbles is blue. (recap: she hatched 4-21, last fed 6-16, arrived w/me 6-23, refused my 1st feed attempt 6-28) I wanted to be ready for the feed before I pulled her out of the viv, so I got all prepared to feed her and brained a little pinkie, only...

okay, so my snake arrived on Tue, June 23rd and last fed on the 16th (and fed 7 times with the breeder, so she was reasonably well established for a hatching...right?). As suggested a few days ago, I waited until tonight (Sun - that's 5.5 days with us) to try to feed her. After 30 min, she...

Okay, so first I need someone to calm my nerves. I'm like a new mom with all kinds of new worries. What if she's not drinking enough? How do I even know she is still breathing when she is curled up in her hide for most of the day? LOL. I want to see my new baby, but know she needs time to...

Hey all, just a question about moss... (I feel dumb that this is such a long post about moss! LOL!) I bought some online back when I ordered some other viv furnishings because it was on sale and seemed really cheap. Thought it would be good to have on hand. (Of course, it came in a smaller...

OMG, my local pet shop is charging $1.29 per pink! ...plus outrageous Chicago area sales tax! :eek: Golly, I'd love to shop local, but that's highway robbery! So, I called The Big Cheese to get a shipping quote and, factoring in the total cost, it is still half the price to order in bulk...

Introducing Pebbles! Hatch Date: April 21st, 2009 :crazy02: INSTANT LOVE :crazy02: Pebbles is an Abbotts Okeetee, from Lee Abbott. She arrived beautifully packaged today: June 23, 2009. She weighs in at 10 grams, but I didn't get a length yet. I held her briefly to check her movement and...

Sorry this is long - I am just VERY excited! SO lucky YOU gets to read the full story (or not). :boring: I've been hanging out here since April without an actual corn snake to discuss! But I blame you guys for that... I could have gone to Petco at anytime, then I got all picky reading your...

I know so many of you have multiple reptiles, but maybe you can think back to your first... Just for fun... ~~~Wayne's World fingers and sound effects~~~ I'm curious to know what made you chose the gender of your snake? And what is the real difference (aside from the obvious). I see that in...

What are your best tips on increasing humidity in your vivs? Do you use moss in the hides (or anywhere?)

you know, like the Obama's waited to get the dog. The main reason we initially decided on a corn as our pet of choice is our lifestyle. We take 2 longer vacations per year (7-10 days) and several short ones (3-5 days). I have a neighborhood high school boy that is wonderful in caring for the...

Hi Everyone, This is my first real post! As I mentioned in my intro, I've been lurking for a couple days, so forgive me if these are some repeat questions. I made my best attempt at searches. My local pet store guys seem pretty knowledgeable about snakes, but I still like to get product...
