Tonight we were at an event at a church and someone came in the room carrying a baby corn snake. They were walking down the hall when they spotted what they thought was a toy snake and went to kick it out of the way when it moved. Needless to say my son and daughter being the reptile lovers...

Thanks for the reply. She's shed pretty easily since we go her and I'm very thorough and make sure that every peice of her shed is accounted for so including eye caps tip of tail and everything in between. I got a decent picture of her head so I hope this helps in diagnosing her. Her tank...

Hello, I went to clean out our snake aquariums yesterday and noticed my Daughters corn is in blue right now. I'm used to the signs of her being in blue, but the skin on about half of the top of her face looks pretty wrinkled/bubbly right now. I spoke with a gentleman at our local...

Hello, Just wanted to find out if this is somewhat normal or not. Kit Kat our Okeetee went from pinkies to double pinkies and just recently to fuzzies. The first time he took a fuzzy with no problem, it took him a little longer and of course he was hesitant at first but go it down and...

We left to go out of town on December 23rd and came back on January 2nd. We did have a neighbor checking in on Kit Kat our Abbott Okeetee, changing water etc. and he ate the evening of the 22nd. While out of town my Husband said that he dropped the temp. in the house to around 55 and it was...

My DD caught the corn snake bug from her big Brother so she is now the proud owner of a female caramel stripe corn. I do have a few questions now that I'll be needing to house 2 snakes. I have a 20 long for my DS's snake and we'll put my DD's into the 10 gallon tank that my DS's snake is in...

Just wanted to be sure that the generic version of Nolvasan is fine to use to clean the tanks for our corns? Do I need to let it sit? Or Rinse? A local lady gave me quite a bit of the generic but I'm wondering if I need to go ahead and purchase the Nolvasan instead since I can get it...

Hello once again. Our little corn just started shedding for the first time under out care this morning. The problem is that it didn't start on the tip of his snout, it started just after his head and he is rubbing his nose around the aquarium like crazy. I'm afraid the poor little guy is...

This is their 2nd annual show and I'm wondering if anyone one went last year and if it's worth a 2 hour drive with 3 kids to go? My DD wants a snake now after big Brother got one and I thought this might be a fun way for her to be able to pick hers. Any thoughts?

Hello, I noticed my Son's Abbott Okettee corn had a different texture (more bumpy?) above his snout the other day and tonight I picked him up and noticed that his ventral pattern looks much lighter than even what is was yesterday. It had been black, now it is a grey color. I just wanted to...

I fave a few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. Not sure how old my Son's Abbott Okeetee is but he is around 12 grams and 14 inches long. We have had him for around a month and are really enjoying him/her. When I went to hold him/her today I noticed on his/her snout so to speak...

I have yet another % question. Say I want i.e. a caramel motley corn with no intention of breeding him/her would it matter if I purchase one that is a caramel motley 100% het Amel or Ultra versus a caramel motley that is 66% het Dilute, Anery, Amel. Do the different % of the corn snake that...

My Son recently got a Lee Abbott Okeetee corn snake and now guess who wants a corn snake? My Daughter (and Me :)) She is leaning towards the lighter silver/grey color ones. So my question is this: Knowing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which would you consider the prettier of...

So iv'e decided that we are going to keep our little guy/girl in the 10 gallon tank for a few more months but I am going to place an online order tomorrow and can get a medium (8x12) Reptitherm uth at a pretty good price ($18.00). I already have the small 6x8 Reptitherm uth mounted on a tile...

Hello, getting ready to place an online order for a screen and clips and just wanted to find out which is the better of the clips to use for our corn snake. I need something of course that is escape proof but also fairly easy for my 8 yo to get on and off. The two I'm looking at are...
