So I am currently in school for Elementary Education and tomorrow I am going to my third grade classroom to observe like I do every week. Tomorrow is my day to introduce myself to the students so they can really start to know me. I asked the teacher of the classroom if I could bring in one of my...

Hey everyone! It is time for me to move Squirt up to hoppers but all the pet stores near me go straight from fuzzies to adult mice. I've been looking online for a good place to order them from and I thought I found a good site till they wanted 50 dollars for shipping. Can anyone recommend where...

I haven't been on here in a few months but my little guy Squirt has certainly grown since I got him in February. I've been measuring and weighing him and either he is the correct weight or my scale has gone all funky so I thought I'd ask around. Today he measured 2 feet and 0.65 inches long and...

So I have had Squirt since the end of January (almost 2 months now). I wanted to ask about his reclusive behavior. He has been a great eater, had had two perfect sheds, and does well being held. My only concern (if it's really anything to be concerned about) is that he stays in one hide (it's in...

So today I fed Squirt and he ate his first pinky like a champ. I then had to leave to run an errand and when I came back I decided I'd offer him a second pinky, then a third, then a fourth. Yes, I fed Squirt 4 pinkies and he ate all 4 like a champ. I know I probably shouldn't have fed him that...

I found Squirts first completely shed today! Eye caps and tail all intact with the shed. Couldn't be any prouder! I gave him a pinky afterwards. Here are some pictures.

So my new thermostat finally arrived. It is the one several people recommended from amazon. My question is with this one where do I place the probe? Under the tank wedged between the glass and Uth or in the cage under the substrate on top of the Uth?

So I got the Zilla Thermostat for my corn's viv this past Friday or Saturday (It's been a long couple of days) and let me just tell you how much it sucks!!!! Thankfully the one everyone recommends is arriving from Amazon tomorrow because I realized Sunday this one wasn't cutting it. I have set...

So Squirt is about to have his first shed since I've had him. He ate on Sunday and then Wednesday I noticed his eyes were blue and now he is entirely dull. It's so amazing to watch this process. Anyways I've read it could be anywhere from 7-10 days for him to shed. So I have some questions...

So I went out today and got three thermometer gauges (the rounds ones from Petco) and a digital probe thermometer as well as a reptile rheostat for Squirts cage. I placed the two round thermometers on the aspen instead of on the tank of the glass. On the cool side it is around 73 degrees and the...

So I picked up Squirt from Petco yesterday. Saturdays are when he/she was fed while he/she was there. I went ahead and fed him/her this morning because he/she just kept wondering the tank all day and all night last night so I knew he/she was ready to eat. He/she took the pinkie like a champ and...

Hey everyone. I just got my first corn snake today. I've done my research for months now starting with ball python research and then switching over to corn snake research for the last two months. I named my snake Squirt...hence my username...and because I don't know if it is male or female. It...
