Ok guys. I posted this question on the corn snake facebook page and got a lot of interesting feedback and suggestions. The question / concern is about my amel, Seamus. He has become, in the last 5-6 months or so, increasingly aggressive in his cage. He's fine being held. But when I go to take...

So I got home from work this morning around 8am (I work midnights as a law enforcement dispatcher) and apparently I had a buddy follow me through the front door. I was in my bedroom changing and my boyfriend goes "Uh Caitlin, there's a snake in here!" And as you all are aware, as a snake owner...

I had to share my find!! Found these two amazing cages locally on Craigslist. I NEVER see these things in my area, there's not a ton of interest in reptile keeping around here as of yet. So when I saw these I snatched them up! :grabbit: This lady is moving and selling a bunch of vivariums and...

I am so proud I have to share this story! My mom and my brother are NOT snake people, which is not surprising as we all know it takes a special type of person to love snakes like we do =) However, I had my mom holding my boys when they were itty babies, juveniles and into their adulthood...

Ok so I know there's a lot of discussion on this, but I need a couple of specific questions answered from you experts and professionals. I want to switch to big plastic tubs. The glass aquariums are hard to handle and lift and it takes me a while without my boyfriend's help. They're heavy and...

So. Let me go ahead and introduce myself: Hi, I'm Caitlin, and I'm the newest member of the "My snake escaped" club. Here's a Christmas poem I wrote all by myself to explain what happened this morning. Enjoy. It was Christmas morning, and all through the house, the animals were stirring, and...

(I am not sure if this has been done or not, but I thought it might be helpful!) So, since I know a lot of people, especially newcomers, have questions about when their snake is going into shed, I thought it might be interesting/useful to see pics of all types of corns in their shed... I know...

Bored tonight- Thought I would pop up a couple photos of my other family members for y'alls enjoyment! This is Patty Cakes, First Tree on Cherry Hill (Some weird show name my Great grandmother gave her) She now lives with me, she is 14 years old. She is a Toy Poodle, Phantom in color.

So Tom shed last night- I got home and it was a nice full, one piece shed. He's active, happy, drinking water, running around- but I noticed at the VERY TIP, like the last little 1/2 a millimeter of his tail, it is kind of bloody/injured? It wasn't like that before he shed. And I can't get a...

I have a good friend who's husband is building me a 4-tub rack (I blame this website for getting me hooked, it's completely y'all's fault!) Any-whooo, I will be using 41qt tubs to house them in. My question is, since I will have separate heating mats per tub, all plugged into the thermostat...

I only ask on here because I am coming into a ball python, like, yesterday- I have never owned one, and I am having a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry difficult time navigating the BP forums and finding answers to my questions, and no one I know owns them. Someone dropped one off at the PD and it's hanging...

Just so you guys know, Petsmart is having a 3 day sale until tomorrow- I just bought a brand new 40 gal breeder tank w/ locking lid for 75 bucks! (People in my area don't care for reptiles much, there's rarely used tanks on Craigslist that I can actually use =/ ) Soooooooo, I scoured this site...

Today's the day! He finally arrived, I was like a little kid running around the house waiting lol :crazy02: This is my 2014 Lava Opal male from the wonderful Stephen Roylance. Steve was absolutely wonderful with the whole process, from me contacting him to deciding on a snake to answering all...

So my boyfriend and I live like, 3 minutes to the beach in the Panhandle- and I've found a few large seashells, they're very colorful, and some of them actually have Red/Orange/White coloring, like Seamus =) I want to put them in his tank, but I want to make sure they are clean. What would be...

Sooooo I wandered into PetsMart today.... And naturally made a B line for the corn snakes :P They had one teeny tiny little dude in there... Gorgeous, in my opinion...He's black and light gray striped with very small amounts of light orange around his head and neck... He was also super bitey...

So, as usual, Seamus is an incredible eater- However, he INHALES his pinky- Like.... It's gone and halfway down his body in less than 2 minutes.. So, I'm wondering, from all you snake baby experts, is it okay, or advisable, to feed him two pinks?? He's 9 weeks old now, and as soon as he...

I know I may sound like a totally paranoid new snake owner (Which I think I kinda am :P) but I have been handling Seamus for the past 4 days now, every day I take him out of his tank and hold him for about 30 mins- First, when I go to pick him up around the middle, he hauls butt away from me...

Today's the day! I finally got to meet and hold my little dude for the first time! My very first snake... He's so sweet, and such a great temperament so far. I snapped a couple of photos of him in his take home box and when I was holding him, I wanted to get a couple pics in before we drive...

So I have the viv all set up for my buddy, but the thermometer is reading 95degrees on the warm side... The UTH is wrapped in aluminum foil, not even pressed up against the glass and there's a good amount of substrate in the tank above it... How do I regulate this, or do you think the...

(Wasn't sure what area in the site this went under since it's kinda random :P) Sooooooooo Repticon is hosting a Saturday "Repti-day" at a convention center in 2 weeks, right near my home-I've already bought VIP tickets and will be attending bright and early! Now, the convention is 2 days...
