Just wondering if there is a guide out there as to how a hybrid's genetics work with themselves and with pure corns? Don't worry - I have no intention of selling off hybrids without letting anyone know. I am more curious than anything as I have the desire to purchase one and I don't know if I'll...

I've heard some breeders (and pet store owners) like to "poop" their snakes by running them a luke warm bath. Back when Nippy was still alive I attempted this on a few occasions. Partially out of curiosity, and partly because I wanted to do a photo session and at the time she had a running...

I've seen pictures of this once before. It was the classic "mismanaged" baird look but with red instead of black. I thought it made for a really cool look. Would anybody be dabbling in such a venture? Thanks!!

So... If you wanted to try jumbo mice, but don't have any... what do you think about feeding a large pregnant mouse to a snake? Is there more nutrition in such a meal? And if the mouse were ready to drop babies any day? It would be like an adult mouse with a big load of pinkies... And if I...

Just for curisoty sake - anybody know what would come of a blue beauty x corn cross? Or if it's even possible? THANKS!!

Ok - so I have a Cannon PowerShot A20 - and I don't know how to get quality pictures with the thing. Back in the day it was a pricey peice of equipment so I am sure the problem here lies with the user and not the technology. If I stand too close the picture gets blurry, but If I back away I...

I have a coral snow corn, Gracie... She last ate Sunday and now, saturday has yet to deficate - I am starting to worry. I think in the morning I'll give her 5 minute bath (as that ALWAYS seems to make my snakes wanna poop)! But let me know if this is normal, or if there's something I should be...

I have to admit, the aspen bedding isn't the most appealing to me. I was wondering if there were a safe to use substitute that looks more like small smooth pebbles? The idea is that it would look more flat and smooth on top, have a visually appealing light "earthy" colour and a corn could...

I have been frustrated with expensive shipping through our airlines! To ship across the country can cost as much as 200.00 and never under 100.00 for a shipment. This makes things VERY difficult for our herping community. Currently, our American counterparts are enjoying as lows as 40.00...

So these are my little guys... erm girls. They're nothing even close to some of the amazing specimens on this site... but they're mine. And I would like to share them with the world!! This is my sunglow. She was/is my first snake... Her name is Nippy. A name aptly decided upon while trying to...

Is this poop or regurg? - No pics... I promise - My first instinct was to snap a picture and post it here... but frankly I think we've all seen enough snake poop! It's not as liquidity as it normally is and I am sure I still see some skin fragments... However the last meal she ate was this...

Ok guys, I've got a question for you all out there... I just had my last two snakes sexed and it turns out I am the happy owner of three female corn snakes! This kind of puts a kink in my breeding, as you can imagine. So what's there to do? Buy a male corn! Of course! I plan on buying 1 (one)...

Simple enough question... Anybody?

A few times in the past month I've been holding my Amel corn (Nippy, that's his name) and he's been prone to a sort of tummy growl, or grumble... sometimes to the point where he feels like he's shaking. Any ideas? Should I be worried? Thanks!

Hey, I recently stumbled upon this website and I am incrediablly happy to see such a corny community in existance. Here's my situation: 1. I am trying to figure out some of the basics for patern morphs. What is ressessive to what, and such and so forth. I use <u>the Corn Snake Manual</u> as my...
