I GOT A NEW SNAKE! My boyfriend, a bio major who volunteers at the herp lab on our college campus, called me to tell me that a beautiful snake that reminded him of me was in the lab and that I HAD to see her. I came in, fell in love, and took her home! Her name is Beloved, she's a 2-year-old...

Hi guys. Quick question. Is there a difference between Ghost morph and the black albino/anerythristic (can't spell it!). Just curious! Grazie.

Hi all! I'm having problems with Isha, my 07 amel. All her life she has been very gentle, NEVER aggressive, to the point where I didn't know that corn snakes could rattle their tails until I came across another one. A few weeks ago, I moved out of the dorms and back home to Cleveland for a...

Hello all! New question. Is it safe to house 2 corn snakes together when they're a year apart, substantially different in size, and one has not seen another snake since she was 2 weeks old? Although I vowed never to do it, I've fallen in love with a hatchling that my boyfriend takes care of...

Hello all! I just had a rather startling encounter. I am a college student, and I took my corn snake, a female named Isha (born May 07) to be sexed. The herpotologist there was SHOCKED to find out that Isha was only about a year old. She showed me to the yearlings in the lab and I was...

Hello all! It's been quite a while since I've been on the forum. I have a question. My amel corn snake, Isha is now 8 ounces. And I no longer have any idea what size food he needs! Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!

I haven't posted pictures in a loooong time. This is Isha, my now right around 7-month-old baby. Enjoy! PS-THANK YOU Munson Feeding Diet! Isha is at a very healthy weight now, after some trouble/confusion. Grazie Grazie Grazie!

Hello all! My ten month old corn, Isha, is a sweet, mild-mannered snake. Since I live on a college campus that does not allow pets, Isha lives with my boyfriend. My boyfriend is the one who feeds him and the one that Isha sees most often. However, I am the only person that Isha allows to...

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted! Updates on Isha! I think the last pics I posted of him/her were in June. After finally having the money to get a scale, I realized that I wasn't feeding Isha NEARLY enough (thank you Munson feeding schedule!). I fed him the fuzzies he was fit...

Hey all. I have a question about my 4-month old(roughly) corn, Isha. He's typically very laid back and likes to explore once he's out of his viv and in my hands. Lately, though, Isha has been pooing nearly every time I take him out. It may just be bad timing on my part, but it's been pretty...

Isha is always so ravenous when it's feeding time. I'm wondering, when is the general age that one should bump up to fuzzies/whatever comes after pinkies? I know that we go by how much the snake weighs, but I don't have a scale just yet. Isha is 2 months old right now, and he gets two fuzzies...

Quick question! I was holding Isha yesterday, which also happened to be the day he finally shed (pics coming soon maybe!). I noticed that as I held Isha, he was markedly different. He seemed startled and was rushing to get down to the floor. He has never 'run' in my hands before. I asked my...

Hello all! I don't know my 2-month-old amel corn's gender and, quite frankly, it's starting to drive me mad! I didn't think it would bother me, but my infamous curiosity is overwhelming me after only a month. -_-; I was just wondering...are there any differences between the genders? You...

Isha's growing so fast! I've only had him for a month and he's growing so fast! Pardon the picture quality (or lack thereof). Isha's very active and it's hard to get a good shot of him!

This is probably going to sound stupid, but I have to ask just in case I'm not handling Isha right. I feed a pinkie Isha every Wednesday and Sunday. I haven't weighed him, but I've had him less than a month and he recently shed for me. He's a hatchling, just a baby. The last shed may have...
