I'm a little worried about my miami. He's a year old and has been doing well until a little while ago. He regurged on 4/19 and immediately went on the regurge protocol. He seemed to be doing fine. Then he did it again on 5/25 so he was on the regurge protocol again. Through this he's lost some...

Anyone expecting/hoping to hatch some strawberry bloods this year? They seem to be less common than I had thought they would be. Any ideas on who to check with would be appreciated too. Thanks.

I'm trying to get good pictures of my whole collection, but I'm going slow. Most of pictures have come out off color, because of the lights I've been using and the filters I haven't been using. But I have one picture I really like and didn't want to wait on. '10 Cinder female

Currently I have heat cables controlled by Zilla and ZooMed thermostats. I just started monitoring them with Exoterra digital thermometers, because they store the minimum and maximum temps. First, are the Exoterras reliable? That first because everything else is based on if they are. Anyway...

I've been to the reptile show we have in the Detroit area, but it's small. I'm just wondering which show(s) would be worth traveling for. If money allows hopefully I'll be able to go this year. Thank you.

This is a friend of mine's snake. She got her from someone who has long since forgotten anything the breeder or pet store told them about morph or genetics. Her pattern is hard to see, but I tried to get the best picture I could close up. The color in the pictures is really accurate...

Anyone have any idea which would be better to use to light a viv? I'm not if one would be more harsh than the other on the snake's eyes. Or if one will make the colors look better. Any suggestion is more than welcome. Thank you.

I don't have pictures, because my camera isn't working right now and she's already in a small plastic tub with some water and paper towels. I was just wondering if it is common for a snake to shed everything in mostly one piece, from neck to tip of tail, but have the top of their head stick...

What's a good alternative to polystyrene to use when making fake rocks and viv decorations? Polystyrene is just nasty stuff when it's exposed to heat, so I would prefer an alternative. I've considered just using popsicle sticks or somethings similar, but they have no bulk. Any ideas will be...

I have 7 problem feeders. 2 of them have eaten both times I've offered, most recently as soon as I stuck the pinkie in front of them. 2 ate last week but this week both decided not to. I'm not too worried about them, one is definitely going to shed soon and I'm pretty sure the other is too...

I have a few problem feeders I'm trying to convince to eat. I've tried some things with f/t, but they won't pay any attention to them. I'm willing to try live just to get something in them for now, but I'm having trouble finding them. Anyone know where I can find them?

Hello. I'm making a vivarium and have read several DIYs, but I still have a few odd questions, but they're easy I've just never had a snake so I have no clue. If you want to know why I'm making a vivarium click here for my introduction and explanation of my total lack of snake knowledge. The...

Hello. I've been thinking about getting a pet for a while, but have been debating on what. Currently I am leaning toward a corn snake because they are good for beginners and they can be extremely beautiful. I have absolutely no experience with snakes though so I'm holding off on making a...
