I got a heat mat for my boyfriend's snake for our anniversary. I got it from the Bean Farm, because the brand was highly recommended by several people on here. We put it in today and it started heating very well, but we noticed something odd. When we touched Pirelli (his snake) while she was in...

I've never officially gone "herping," as in turning over logs and rocks looking for snakes, lizards, etc. But recently I ran into a few surprises. First, I found a ringneck snake (a colubrid!) that I had never heard of or seen before. I live in Tennessee, and neither my mom nor I had seen one...

So I read somewhere that corn snakes aren't very arboreal creatures. I think my ultramel Paisley missed that memo. She's still small enough to cram herself between the lip of the tank and the lid. She loves to sit there (and poop down the glass for me to clean up). So I thought maybe she would...

I'm about to switch from light domes and invest in heat pads and thermostats for both my corn snake and my boyfriend's ball python. I was looking around at the pet store and I was unsure of the "good" brands and "bad" brands. I've had very poor experiences with Zilla, so I wasn't going for that...

I was just wondering if it was okay to burn a scented candle in the same room as a snake. I stay away from aerosols due to my fish tank, but I wasn't sure if a candle was a good or bad idea.

My corn snake will be a year old this August. She is such a good girl, a great eater, and I love her to death. It saddens me to see how jumpy she still is. I handle at least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time. She is totally fine when she is in my hands. The problem is when I set...

I've had my corn for nearly a year now. She has never bitten me, but I know it's inevitable. I don't want to be overly stunned when it happens. Can anyone describe the feeling of the teeth or amount of pressure? Please don't sugar coat it! Lol, I want all the details. Thanks!

My boyfriend's snake has been yawning often and I can hear and feel a popping noise when she breathes. We are pretty sure she has an RI and we are taking her to the vet. Does anyone know approximately what the cost of a vet visit and the RI medication costs? We just want to be prepared. Thanks!

My birthday is coming up, and people are asking what to get me. I would really like a good book about corn snakes. I know the basics of care already. I would like something a little more in depth, including some of the details of genetics and morphs. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I...

So I read here on the forum that there IS a way to tell if your snake is asleep. Apparently the pupils droop down and slightly forward, making it look cross-eyed. If you wiggle your finger in front of its eyes, they should jerk upward as a defensive response. So my ultramel girl Paisley came...

When I first got Paisley, multiple people on the forum agreed that she was an ultramel. HOWEVER, some things lately have caused me to question it. She is changing color for sure. When I first got her, her belly was a pale pink with maroon checkers. Now her belly is STARK WHITE with brown...

I read a thread here on the forum where someone said their snake "showed signs of stress, as she 'struck a pose' for nearly an hour." I was wondering...is this true? My corn "strikes a pose" pretty frequently. She usually will lift her head 2 inches or so off the ground and freeze for quite...

I don't know if it is at ALL Petco stores, but at mine (Cookeville, TN) they are having a $1 Per Gallon tank sale! Due to limited space and money, I was only able to buy a 20 gallon tank for my baby corn snake (a nice upgrade from the 10 gallon). It was regularly $46.99, but with my Petpal...

I have a female snake, and I was just wondering the other day...do snakes have periods? I feel like such a noob asking, but I'd like to know for future reference. Thanks!

So I've never seen pictures of adult extreme reverse okeetees. I've only seen babies. Does anyone have any pics they'd like to share? Thanks!

So every time I go to clean my viv, there are terrible waterspots on the walls from where I have to mist the tank. They are VERY resistant to cleaning. I feel like I've tried everything. Does anyone know of any "tricks" to removing the waterspots? Thanks!

What is the difference between an amel, an ultra, and an ultramel? I was told by several people on the forum that my snake is an ultramel, but I don't know how they know that or what the differences are. I'm new to the world of cornsnakes and not good with morphs. Please help!

So I was thinking about getting another corn in the future. I want it as a pet, and I have no intention of breeding it. So my question is, do the hets matter? I don't know if they all present or not. I really like snow corns, but I don't know if the hets change the appearance. Anything helps...

Paisley is about 12" long and approximately 2 months old. I have been feeding her pinkies every 5-7 days. I don't have a scale to weigh her with..so how do I know when to start feeding her mice? And what is the next size up? Thanks!

My first tongue pic of Paisley :) I've had her for just under a month but I can already tell she's grown! A few other pics..
