Well, it has been a rough spring for me and my snakes. One passed away in the early spring, he didn't even make it past his one year quarantine. The other has been having diarrhea issues for a month and passed away this morning, just shy of her vet visit. She was a very tempermental great...

Aarrrg! I do not know if you guys knew about Buddy and his swollen eye, but it got better only a few days after the vet seen him. Here is the thread. http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82115 So he was all healed up and everything was going perfect. Until tonight. He escaped...

Hey I think there is improvement from the heat therapy! =D It all started when I noticed Buddy doing something I have never seen him do before. One morning he was sitting around his hollow hide with his head resting on top. I thought it was cute. However the next morning when I seen him...

So it all started when our landlord moved out. He had the upstairs and we had the downstairs. He always tried keeping the heat around 72 F and that was fine for me and my snakes. Now the people living upstairs turn the heat off in the dead of winter and on one cold day last week (when they shut...

Well, tonight when I came home from work I checked on my snakes. Its feeding night and I always check them over before they are fed. No need to check over the creamsicle. He was clearly dead. When I seen him lying upside down with the green spot half way down his body I knew the worst had...

So I thought I'd take some pictures because the weather is very nice today. Despite it being cloudy. I am also celebrating my 1000th post! Woot! Never dreamed I'd make it that far when I was just starting out here lol. I just took Dez to a nearby park at about 8 am. Had a guy walking his dog...

So he eats! And eats well! I just fed him for the first time today and I am pleased he has a good appetite. =D (Had no reason to think he didn't...but ya know. I just worry lol) Here are a few pics of him during meal time. He still is rather edgy. Er...yes I know the meal was rather...

Soooooo... I went into world of pets to get a young snake I thought was a creamsicle. However on the tank it said Ultramel, even though last week he said something about a creamsicle lol. I know creamsicles have emory rats in their lines somewhere but curtis said he wasn't sure if the breeder...

So...I am going to be blunt. (I am scared incase this means bad news) >.< My texas rat has a small dent in his eye. I got a picture of it as I was feeding him tonight. Now its not the best quality but I hope it helps. When you look at it head on you cannot see it. There is no color...

Hello everyone. This is my rant. I just have to let it out, and hopefully in the process get other peoples views on the matter. I work at Walmart. Yes...that icky place. I came into work one day to find the place in a total uproar, people yelling and shouting, pushing and shoving and a man...

Hello everyone! I have not posted on here in some time. We just got a new place a while back and have lacked the use of interent until now. Our new basement suite is loaded with many basement bugs such as spiders, silverfish and centipedes. The spiders are large and numerous and are most...

Sooo.... The pet store I usually get my feeders at had their one and only freezer die on them. They no longer sell feeders and they were the only place here for miles that sell feeders. To add to it, the mice they aquired through some small fish company stink! They are little deformed...

So here is the story. I have UTH's under all of my five tanks. I also have about four heat lamps that are sometimes on depending on the weather. I have multiple hides on both sides and plenty of plants for added cover. The temp in the substrate above the heaters is roughly around 77oF to 82oF...

I just got two pinky mice for my gopher snake. She ate one but not the other. Now its been almost two days and I have been feeding this pinky kitten milk. However I cannot totaly tell if the little thing is eating. I have looked all over the place but cannot find sufficient information. Does...

She ate! By god she ate! This feeling of relief is so darn refreshing! I have never had a snake turn down a meal yet. (Well, not completely true. Dez turned down food once but he was in the late stages of blue...) When I first tried feeding her it was as usual. I put her in a clean snake...
