I've been around the forum for a bit now and have read many posts on this but since this is my first time I feel obligated to post here to make absolutely certain I'm doing things right. Can I make an egg laying box out of a small shoebox? I mean the smaller boxes that kids shoes come in...

This is my amel het caramel / caramel het amel. After being stymied with my first couple, these guys got friendly after about 5 minutes. They were positioned with the connection away from me but there was no doubt what was happening and I saw the yellowish stain afterwards that everyone says...

I put a pair together several weeks ago and there's been no hubba hubba that I am aware of. Both of these are unknown hets and though she supposedly laid eggs (slugs) with her last owner, to my knowledge neither of these large adults are proven. No yellowish stains & no obvious coupling. She...

So far there's been no obvious sign of coupling...haven't seen them together, no yellow stains etc. Should I remove him and reintroduce him in a week or so? Or is it best to just leave them together? NIck

I'm going to make an honest effort to start hanging out here again. I am ready to try breeding this spring, and would like to share my experience with everyone. Which means I'm here to ask a lot of questions lol. This site is a tremendous resource, as we all know. Plus, I miss the banter...

My phone rang the other day and a nice fellow told me he had two corns that he couldn't take care of anymore and heard I was a collector. Long story short I wound up adopting these two gorgeous corns, hets unknown. I'd appreciate knowing what they are. The greyish one is a female...I know...

I am considering a project that will take a couple generations, so I am only interested in an adult, preferably proven. Tame and able to be handled easily is a plus. Email or message with availability and price. Thanks! Nick

Title says it all. Prefer a proven breeder but at least want one of breeding age. Contact me with availability, location and cost. I'm Florida 34743. May consider traveling to you if not too far. Thanks! Nick

I have a caramel male. Is it true that paired with an amel female they might produce butters? Nick

Please forgive if this isn't the proper forum. Anyone have experience dealing with a Phil Hackenberry of wegotherps.com? They're located in central fl, in the kissimmee/st cloud area. Nick

Do any of you have a king (or other) snake that you feed defective or unwanted hatchlings to? I've seen this practice mentioned before and am curious if anyone does this. Nick

What's the diff between Okeetee and Abbotts Okeetee? Nick

How do I drop the temp on ONLY the snakes I want to brumate? I've always heard corns are so easy that often brumation isn't required but is usually helpful to promote a mating. But I don't know how to brumate only certain ones. I don't want the temp in my house to be cold lol and I don't have...

Purchased at Reptile World Serpentarium in St. Cloud, FL. An Anery Honduran Milk. We named him Hondo :) His lavender coloration is more vibrant than the pics show.

Hello. I'm a little unclear on this and would appreciate some help. I've been offered a pair of corns that "look normal and carry the sunglow/candy cane gene" and have already parented some candy canes. I thought sunglow and candy cane morphs were totally different. Is this person just...
