Augie is the snake that we adopted from Tucson Reptile rescue 1.5 years ago. Augie has been refusing food and lapping the cage. Augie has done this before so we were not worried. When we got Augie they told us that Augie is a boy. This afternoon found 5 little amber colored eggs one was not...

Big thank you to all the help from this site. Chino is growing and is an interesting classroom pet. She has been a interest for some students in class.

Chino has not eaten sense 12/13/13. At that time I found out that in the evening and nigh time they cut the heat to the room. She(we think but not sure) now has two UTH one set at 72 degrees F and the other set at 88degrees F. She stays in her hide(warm side) or goes up a branch in the...

I found out that they are turning off the heat in my classroom at 3:30 pm to a temp of 50 degrees. I got a second UTH and thermostat and set it for 72 degrees F. Now over winter break they are planning to totally shut off all heating (to save money- until the pipes break). So last night Chino...

Here is a picture of Augie in his new viv. He moved in last night and is already out, exploring, and moving things around to suit his choices.

Chino is normally bright white and orange. Today she looks bluish white but her eyes are not cloudy like last time that she shed. She shed 9/28/13 is this too soon? She is growing 0.5 inches a week.

Augie loves his new hide. Made from 3lb plastic coffee jar.

Should I move Augie to 10 gallon tank for feeding or just feed him in his Viv?

Augie is 650grams and looks underweight. TRR told me that he came in a month ago underweight. They were feeding him small rat every 2 weeks. Should I continue with small rats or full size mouse? Thanks to every one here you all are really helpful.

Well I went to the Tucson Reptile show looking for another baby to go with Chino in my classroom (different viv's). Saw at least 4 babies that I was thinking of getting. Then we were at the Tucson Reptile Rescue booth. They had one corn snake for adoption. Augie - I do not know what morph he...

Jaun died last night. I do not know what I did wrong with him. I tried now I have to tell the students that he died and today is Homecoming. If I can I'll wait and tell them Monday.:crying:

Is it worth going to the Tucson show next weekend and the Phoenix show in November?

I took Chino/Gracie out yesterday and this is what she looked like. I think she it getting ready to Shed

Juan on 8/27/13 weighed 32.6 grams tonight 9/21/13 he weighs 30.1 grams. In this time frame he has eaten only one little pink. I can see his spine as a slight ridge down his back. I am terrified that he is starving. Could the noise and activity of being in the classroom be too much for him...

Juan is not eating but they eyes are clear. He is dull and feels really smooth not like he has scales. Is he nearing sheading? He is 21 inches long and I have had him for a month.
