So I had my first escapee today luckily he was only gone for around 10 minutes. I was feeding everyone today and he was one of the last to go into the feeding tub. He gobbled his mouse right down and I left him for a while as I usually do to let him settle either I didn't secure the lid...

Hey I am still around I just wanted to say hey. Things have been really really crazy here. I have been doing my best to keep up with everything. I got my kitty and have started flying on helicopters at work. Just wanted to drop by and say hey I am going to try to be more active here again.

Ok I know that if a snake escapes cats are very dangerous to them but as I am looking to get a little kitten today I wanted to see if anyone had any negative experiences with cats and snakes.

Ok so I went to petco for a thermometer the other day for my hatchling rack and peeked into the snake cage as I always do first thing I noticed was a stench and on closer inspection this is what I saw...One snake was half digested and regured back up and another snake obviously had one of its...

ok i got a new baby today still working on a name

So I may be getting into breeding sooner then I thought. My hypo male is a little over 200gs and from what I have read that is fine to breed as long as the female is in the proper size range. I am getting a new rack in December (for adults) and already have a hatchling rack so if I find a...

Ok so I have spread the addiction my mom and younger siblings want to get a corn now. One variety they are interested in are bubble gum snows or something that keep that pink color throughout its life. Any recommendations on finding one as a hatchling that will stay pink?

Ok so this is a bit of a rant.... I am 22 single and in the military. I am not amazing looking but I wouldn't consider myself hideous either. I it seems that half the girls I talk to seem to go eww when I mention snakes. That really starts to limit the options when it comes to girls as I...

My newest a non-breeder adult female from Vinny of serpentopia. She is a total sweetheart!

Ok I want to know if anyone has suggestions on a decent setup for an adult corn other then the classic glass viv/uth/thermostat etc etc. I am looking to get another corn but don't want to shell out 200 for a setup if I can avoid it.

Ok so cronus my adult male seems to like high temps. He is in a 20L tank with a a zoomed UTH and zoomed Rheostat on the lowest setting on the rheostat on glass temps run around 93 F this worried me until I noticed that he seems to stay in the hot hide right over the heat anyways even though he...

Ok I am curious if anyone knows about any safety issues involved in computer ink/paper in a substrate. We have paper shredders at work and cross shred a lot of paper and I was considering using it as a substrate as it would be free. and easy to use. I will also likely start shredding my junk...

Alright so I was browsing craigs list today and saw an add for "Corn snake for sale $40" I figured what the heck and gave them a call it turns out it was a 2-3 year old snake that had bit the mom in the family once then they were all to scared to keep it so I went over and loved him so I picked...

Ok so its not really a picture but here is the first feeding of my new corn (its only the first pinkie of the two she got. The entire video has both my corns getting fed and is like 20 minutes long haha. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v320/Count_Vlad/?action=view&current=Hestiachow.flv
