So I'm about to get my 2nd snake, which I decided I would like a boa... Hog Island Boas fit me the most, and here are 2 that are available... The breeder is waiting to hear from me which one I want, so I decided to ask my buddies on cornsnakes! Thanks in advance.

I've heard both sides of the story... one side of the story: feeding in a separate container so snake doesn't associate its viv with food and is less likely to strike at you when you're going to get him the times you don't have food... the other side: feed in same container (its viv) so it...

I heard frozen rodents lack essential vitamins and amino acids that snakes need... What I'm wondering is: if my snake is used to eat frozen, and I feed it a live mouse, will it stop accepting the frozen and demand live ones? If I can mix up its diet between frozen and live, is it a good idea to...

i think this one (from Tula) is absolutely stunning! unfortunately they don't stay looking like that.... still beautiful adults, but I love their juveniles much more. and i also think red-tail boa's are absolutely beautiful... like this one (from erptileking) and this one by Russ Jones...

so, i went to a local pet store today and the manager started talking with me about snakes and specifically MY corn snake (which I didn't buy from that store)... he said 2 things that I'm not sure how accurate they are. first, he said I must have a heating lamp to control the temperature of the...

I have a baby corn, and once he has grown enough to need a bigger viv, I am considering getting a second snake to put in the smaller viv. The snakes I really like so far are: Piebald Ball Python Leucistic Ball Python Gray-Banded Kingsnake Green Tree Boa Brazilian Rainbow Boa What do you guys...

or do snakes prefer whiskey? I think since corns are Texan, they probably like beer. right? =)

I'm so curious and amused by how corn snakes change color as they grow... if you have any pics of a corn as a juvenile then older, I'd love to see them! Please mention the morph/phase of that snake. I'm so excited to see what's coming up!

My snake is hiding almost all the time, so when I want to handle him I have to look for him and take him out of his hiding box, tree branch, moist hiding box or out of his bedding... is that what everyone generally does? or is it better to not take him out of his hiding? Thanks in advance for...

Show off that viv and Tell what you made or how you got it...

if anyone has pics of their corn starting to show signs of shedding, i'd greatly appreciate it... i would like to see early signs, not just the late stage with the eyes already cloudy.... does their skin become more opalescent or iridescent? thanks a lot in advance. toof doc

I've had this beautiful baby corn for about 2 weeks now (my first time to ever deal with snakes)... I fed him 2 days ago, and haven't handled him since... I went to play with him a bit ago, opened the cage and reached in there, but he started running away from my hand (he usually doesn't do...
