When you compare them to the close relatives like the other rat snakes. As they get older, it looks like the rat snakes tend to have longer, more box shaped heads, with the front of the head being very flat and square. Whereas corns seem to have more rounded heads with eyes that appear further...

I was thinking about this while I was looking at some of the potted plants I have. Of them, two of them really stand out in my mind as being perfect for a snake cage. The first one is a small bromeliad that I've had for over a year. It has stayed the same size and the same shade of green for...

I know every snake is different which is kind of why I'm asking this question. My snake is about a year and a half old now and close to 30 inches at this point. Certain snakes do grow differently and he seems to be growing in inches rather than bulk. I've been feeding him 1 small mouse every...

I know a 20 gallon cage is pretty acceptable for even a large grown adult, but I have a 40 gallon tank on my hands, in addition to the 20 gallon that my snake is currently in. I know that a small snake can get uncomfortable in a large cage, but provided he has 5 to 6 hides, 2 branches to climb...

Do you think there would be any problem with laying paper on the bottom of my snakes cage and then placing the aspen on top of it? I just find it a little annoying to clean up when my snake poops on the bottom of the cage. I think have at least a layer of newspaper down there might help...

Have you ever seen a wild anery corn? It seems to be relatively common in the corn snake population. With the different types of gray rats snakes, I don't think that a gray corn snake would be in an adverse position. So, have you ever happened upon a wild anery?

I am little behind on the more recent morphs. Has anybody found a genetic trait the purely removes yellow pigment?

The amber eyes with ruby pupils are really stunning imo.

I realize that there is a vast amount of variation between individual snakes. However, I was just curious if somebody who is more experienced with gold dusts could help me out. From what I understand, caramel basically turns the reds and browns into shades of yellow. And when I look at...

I got this beautiful little guy from reptile industries back in February. I think hes one of the prettiest snakes I have ever seen. Hes also very strong and healthy. http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af357/Ace_E_Deecee/Eureka/

At about 9 am this morning I found my snake laying in her cage in a very bizarre position. I was a bit worried so I checked her. When I started to take her out, she did some very weird, jerking motions. She was rearing up and swinging her head to the side. About the last two thirds of her...

My snake has never been much of an out-and-about type of snake. She just tends to either stay in her hut or sit on top of it. When you take her out she is very active and energetic but, in her cage she just tends to sit in one spot. I’ve tried putting her in a larger tank but she doesn’t...

My snake is a bit picky. She isn’t very found of frozen mice but she absolutely devours freshly killed mice. This doesn’t seem like a big deal, but when you have to drive across town and pay several dollars for a mouse, it becomes a pain. This didn’t used to be a big deal, but the places...

Earlier today I happened to find a dead juvenile corn snake. Although it was dead, I was surprised by its beauty. It appeared to be almost a Miami in color and saddle shape. I’m very interested in seeing if I have what could be a possible corn snake variant in my area. If there is one baby...
