Will this be ok. I plan to put a tub in her viv, just before she lays, filled with damp sphagnum moss. Once she has laid, assuming she lays in the tub, take the tub out, put the lid back on (with holes in) and place into the incubator at 80F for 60 days.Below is a link to the incubator I have...

I was wondering what the best substrate to use in a digital incubator was? I was going to use sphagnum moss and keep it moist by adding water. But I have been told today of a product called 'Hatchrite' which is supposed to be low maintenance. Any ideas?

Currently trying to cool down two of my Corns for breeding, and wondered how you lower their vivs down to below room temp? With the room at around a constant 21 degrees how can I get it down to 10-15 degrees? Thoughts please.

Just a quick one. One of my corns (Ruby, a 4 year old female) has just started to behave really strange. She has tried to bite me twice in the past week, and whenever I go near her she is very jumpy. In the 4 years I've had her she has never tried to bite me and has always been fine with...

Hello all I have noticed today a mark on the back of Freddy, my normal phase Burmese Python. It is about 3 inches long by 1 inch wide and looks like someone has put a line of flour along his back. Can anyone tell me what this is? He has fresh water and his temps are perfect. He eats every 2...

Just thought I would say sorry. For those who where offended by my comment in another post. I didnt mean to generalise or use offensive language. Having been to America twice and worked with an American for the past year I was wrong in what I said. The vast majority are kind, caring and polite...

Hello All Just wondered if any of you know a good solution to stop a Burmese Python, or any snake for that matter striking? I tried to get Freddy, my 10ft Burmese out of his viv today and he hissed when I touched him. (which he always does) But normally thats all it is, but as I picked him up...

If you put a male with a female for mating purposes, will they "go at it" straight away or is it a give it some time thing? I am thinking of breeding my two of mine but wasnt sure how to go about it. Thanks

I have noticed one of my corns making a almost growling noise every so often. It sounds like a lung problem but it doesn't happen all the time? Ideas please. Thanks

What does it mean when people write 7.8 Corns? Or something similar? Any ideas please.

A follow on from my lost post, I heard it was illegal in the UK to feed live mouse/rats to snakes? Can anyone verify if this is true or not?

One of my Corns has not eaten for almost 2 months. A friend once said to take the snakes water away for a few days and then try feeding the snake with a wet mouse? Any ideas on whether this is a good or a bad idea? Thanks

If you put a male and female together, will they just keep producing eggs all year? Or do they need to be kept apart and only put together when mating? Or can a male and female live together all the time? Thanks
