This was odd. The yellow corn I got about a year ago is just now big enough to be transitioning to adult mice (only relevant to snake's size). I took him out to feed him. I took him outside for some sun (was thinking about a pic for here). While I was looking a the view, he VERY S L O W L Y...

I no longer trust the screen tops with the clips. I have a 10 gallon tank with a slide lid (not a zilla) that did not have a place for the thermostat cord. As a result I was using an after market screen with G clips. He had been getting up in the rim. Sometimes his tail (last inch or so) would...

Just got home with a new family member. On the way from the bag to the tank, my g/f managed a couple of photos.

I just moved Sagia from a 10 gal to 20 long. Here is a picture of her in march (having eaten 2 pinkies) and one from last night exploring the new tank. She really appreciates the ability to stretch out! (I put the new tank off a bit long I think).

I want to get another corn snake. However, I am mindful of the recommended quarantine practices. They seem to include "keeping the new snake in a different room". I only HAVE one room (with the exception of the bathroom...and keeping a snake there isn't practical). Is there a way to do an...

So last week I fed slick a pinky head to make sure He would eat. Thursday night I tried the rest of the pinky. He spends MOST of his time trying to get out of the feeding tub unless I cover it. Ok...so I do. About an hour later I hear a soft 'thump'. I assume he is either striking or something...

I recently obtained a snow corn. 10 min after this he escaped in the car (long story). We found him under the carpet in the back seat 18 hrs later. When we recovered him, he had some black grease on his neck and head (from burrowing under the carpet). There is also a small spot on his eye. Since...

First off, let me thank all of you who chimed in regarding Rhozko;s regurges. While he had started keeping his meanls down, he was not doing well. He had become listless and feeble. This being the case, I thought it was best for him if I donated him to the local reptile specialty shop. They have...

Ok...I have already read the FAQ and am following the protocol. I even admit I probably caused it (snake too stressed for various reasons). But this leads me to some questions. At the moment I am using a carpet. S/he seemed happier on aspen. I can fix that, but since I am not supposed to handle...

I have owned Rhozko for about a week now. He has eaten, see a vet (thought he might have been developing respirtory issues due to heat problems. Apparently thats been fixed) and mostly happy =). I assume s/he is 'normal' (coloration). Since I got him from the dreaded petco (didnt discover this...
