Was looking at some lovely leopard geckos the other day and what I noticed was there is calcium dust (or something like that) which is recommended for snakes and geckos. Do snakes need that? I've never used it and have had snakes for 2 years now. Maria :shrugs:

Was in a petshop the other day and saw these really tiny snakes, babies, but real small. Asked the shopowner what they were and he said they were corns, a mutant variety. They were really pretty. Anyone know what these are like, how big they grow etc... Maria :shrugs:

Please can someone tell me how you tell if you have a male or female. Nobody knows what I have, the petshops here don't know. Is there anyway I can find out. I don't even know if a vet over here would know, snakes are real new in Ireland! Anyone able to help me? Maria

Hi I thought that corns weren't into eating each other. I went and got a new corn today especially the similar size to my other one so that I could house them together. The guy in the pet shop said no problem. So now I am fed up as I don't know what to do. I have a king too so prehaps I...

Hi I have just bought a new Corn. She/he is a beauty. A little bigger than my other corn but not much. I just don't know what sex either my corns are and I wanted to house them together eventually (once I have seen if the new one is healthy etc..). Theres no way to find out over here, nobody...

Hi Was just wondering what to do! We hope to go away for a month or so and worried about my 2 snakes. I was going to let a friend mind them, but would I need to put them in their large viv's (3ft) or is there an alternative way of doing it. Can they be in a smaller viv for that short time...

Hi My Indi is now on to fuzzies, the pinkies weren't enough, weren't even giving him a blip in his tum tum. And he was out everyday looking for more. So I started him on fuzzies last week and he is more satisfied now and stays hidden for 48hours after, more content. But he still seems to...

Hi there, my corn poos on me most times that I take him out. Hes really healthy, doing well. Feeding great, a pinky every 5 days. He is an Aug03 hatchling. He seems ok with coming out and being handled cos when I try to put him back in his hide he climbs out around my hand again. But the...

I was just wondering how quickly corns grow. My corn is about 7weeks old now and is just having its first shed with me. Indi is doing really well and eating without any problem. I would like to know how long before they reach full adult size? Maria:)

Hi My little guy is doing really well. I have him for about 3 weeks now and he is my first snake. I feed him once a week and he is eating well. Last night I was handling him and he pooed on me!!! All down my hand was this amazing colour poo. It was a brilliant greeny blue colour...

Hi as you may be aware, I had to take my new snake back to the shop as it was sick. Well now I have a new one. Hes really active and very alert, nothing like the last one. But when should I feed him. I was told he was due to be fed today, but he won't. :( Also can anyone tell me what morph...
