So my girl shed a few weeks ago(I don't remember exactly) and I just now decided to start pairing her with my male. I've paired them twice and saw them lock up both times. I also found evidence as well. They did the dance and she did the little shiver thing that they do before locking up. Now...

:-puke01: I'm so nervous and excited! I was planning on breeding my butter motley to my amel motley, but I decided that I can't wait a year for him to grow so I put my big normal in with my amel. I didn't even know for sure what gender my normal was, but he took no time getting down to...

Basicly, are either of those morphs? Like can you have a het patternless or het vanishing pattern? Or is it more like a locality? Thanks guys!!

I know the motley gene causes the snake to have a white belly with no checks. But my amel motley girl has some random dots directly in the middle of her belly. I was thinking maybe she is a "paradox"?(I don't fully understand what that means yet, so Idk) I will try and get pictures some time, I...

So, how much would an "adult" normal corn snake sell for? I have a 430 gram normal that I'm considering selling to make room for a breeding project. She is almost 4 feet. Great feeder (as in, she is hungry ALL the time) Plus she is breeding weight. And I think she is a female. So what could it...

So right now I have: Female Amel Motley, Female Normal, Female Charcoal, Male Blizzard. (who won't frigging eat) I am adding onto my rack so I will have 7 tubs. I want to keep one hatchling from my first clutch for myself. Long story short, What would you get if you had 2 extra tubs laying...

So since the husbandry faq thread says that you don't even need to supply a heat gradiant for cornsnakes, i was wondering if it would be okay to not use extra heat for my hatchling racks? Do most of you not have heat gradiants? My room is at about 74-76 degrees. This is the only place that i've...

Could I run 4-inch heat tape across the length of a 12 qt tub? Would that be okay, I'd have a hide that is half on, half off in each tub. This is for hatchlings. And, how long can a hatchling stay in a 6-quart tub if it is put on a once-a-week maintenence diet? Thanks!

I would like to try and incubate at room temperature. I understand that a little fluctuation isn't horrible with corns, but i'd like it to not fluctuate at all. Do you all think that if i put the eggs in a tub and then in a styrofoam cooler that it wouldn't fluctuate too bad? I could then put...

I was just wondering at what percent do ya'll start to worry about the humidity being too high? Thanks!

I read in the morph FAQ thread that bloodred + charcoal = pewter. My question is, is it that simple? Do I just have to get a bloodred and a charcoal and breed them and i'll get a few pewters? or do they have to be het for something? I put in the corn calculator diffused + charcoal and it didn't...

I have a young corn snake that is presently on fuzzies. I breed my own mice but i don't have enough colonies, nor do i want more, to provide the perfect LIVE size every 5 days...So what i would like to do is feed her f/t until she get's big enough for adult mice. Right now she doesn't constrict...

sorry, for all the recent posts... I got a momma mouse about to pop and she is real big so i want to continue her line. Anyways, when will a male mouse try to mate with a young female? will they wait until the females are at least weaned? Thanks again.

I've had my baby girl for a little more than 3 weeks. I never see her except when she comes out after I turn her light off. But, when I do see her she freezes and then when I leave she goes back in her hide and doesn't come back out. Do you think she will grow out of this stage, or is this a...

So i got a 1.2 group of mice 3 weeks ago. after about a week both females were showing signs of pregnancy. Then in about the 2nd week, one started getting smaller. so now(in the 3rd week) I have one giant female and one that is the same size as my male. She has very slight lumps on her sides...
