Today, all of the pets have decided to go crazy. First, the mastiff escapes her yard _again_. I live near a busy street, so it's not a small thing. Luckily, I have the best neighbor ever and she caught the dog and corralled it. Then I got home and took a look at the snakes. Pantalaimon, my new...

Woot! I actually got these two last week from Rockmonky, but I couldn't find my camera until tonight. They are blood het stripe possible anery and hypo. These are my first bloods and I'm very excited. First is my female, Kirjava. She's a calm little snake, but I could only get a few good...

You guys who live in the east and the mid-section are so lucky. *sighs* I just looked at Kingsnake's site for upcoming shows and there's a whole lot of nothing for California. I wonder why that is? I hate to sound like a snob, but it's not like it's a small state. I know there's a show in...

Well, ye olde tax refund is coming in the mail, and even though I just got a pair of bloodreds, I'm already thinking about the future. So far I have a Sunglow Motley (who is currently sitting with me as I type), a Butter, and the two Bloods. There are so many great morphs to choose from. What...

Gah, normally I wouldn't bug of the message board, but Kathy Love's book is packed... somewhere (oh the joys of moving!) and my female sunglow motley is looking very, very, very fat. I just caught sight of her cruising around the tank and tempting the cat, looking far thicker than usual...

Well, it's more of a duplex. But I don't care! My dog needed a yard and we'll be moving in two weeks! And in Cornsnake related news: The place happens to be a two bedroom. So I'm taking the master, and I'm converting the other room into a "snake room" so I can expand my favorite hobby...

I'm planning out my breeding plan for the next few years, and trying to figure out what kind of snakes I will need to purchase. I just wanted to double check to make sure that I wasn't totally off base. It will be my first time trying to selectively breed anything. Sunglow motley + Lavender =...

I've been practicly living on Craigslist the last few weeks, trying to find a cheep place to rent with two bedrooms (so I can convert one into a snake room. hehehe). So today I randomly typed in the word "snake" and sent a search out. In my general area there were about ten entries for people...

Okay, so I'm looking for the cheapest way to get a few more terrariums for some future snake hatchlings without having to go for the plastic container. The best way I've seen is really to get a 10 gal aquarium from Petco and adapt for a snake. But I have to pile books on the top of the tank to...

Yus, another question. But you guys are so knowledgeable! I've always fed one mouse at a time, but now it looks like I have a small surplus of smallish mice and two snakes that are hungry two days after eating. Do I just put two mice in the feeding container instead of one? :dunce: Can it be...

Okay, so I've been seeing this on people's signatures... and I'm not really understanding what it is. I can't find an FAQ on it, so I guess I'll just ask here. What does it mean when people have something like 1.2 Bloodred. Or 1.0 Butter... does it have to do with them being het for something...

... My trip to PetSmart just cost me twenty dollars for a small canister of 6 pinky mice and another one of 3 adult mice. I am not going to be growing my own colony, but I need to knock down the price a little. Can anyone recommend a website where I could buy bulk frozen mice? I tried to...

Here are a couple of pictures of my two snakes. I'm really just starting my obsession with Corns... one day I plan to breed my own, but first I really have to educate myself on the morphs... and how I can sell 12+ babies. lol. First up is my first snake ever, Iskeirka. She is a Sunglow Motley...

So I got my first snake a year ago, and my second corn about a month ago. I got them from The Corn Snakepit. At the time, the gentleman said that the Corn, Iskeirka, didn't need a warm side of the tank. But everything I saw on this site and others said otherwise. So I got a warm pad that is put...

Man, I know I just got a cute little butter motley less than a week ago, and people are going to start to think I'm nuts if I get a third snake in my apartment... but I really love the look of those bloodreds. My question is, how long until you really get that classic diffusion? A lot of the...
