cat liter? does it work to throw some in with mice to control the smell? what about transfer to the snake? I searched but couldn't find anythign.

Well, not quite, but he tries really hard! :rofl: Sorry for the crappy pics, but he wasn't staying still. It is amazing how much of a "hood" these guys can produce. He is getting quite an attitude. This is what he was doing for about an hour before I reached up by the cage to move...

So what's the deal with this? I have heard different ones say they use shredded newspaper as the substrate in their feeder bins and it works great. My question is does it reallY? Not that I don't believe people, but won't it stink worse with just the newspaper? It would be great if it did...

I just went to check on feeder colonies before I went to bed and saw this girl, she's gotta pop tonight.

I figured I would get a jump on tomorrows cage cleaning for the feeder colonies and do the ASFs today, when I went back the hall this is what I found. I know it is in their nature to combine litters in one nest, but you would think that it would be easier for them to each care for their own...

I stated with 1.3 group about a month and a half ago (I think). They certianly are slow growers compared to mice, but they are fun. I have 8 that are almost weened from the first litter, 3 that are in fuzzy stage from another first litter (only three born) and now Christmas day we awoke to...

Couldn't pass up this litte guy! He's in his temp home for tonight (actually it was his home at the pet store, but they threw it in for a couple more bucks. I needed another little critter carrier anyway for culling the mice.) He is real laid back and is only about 8 inches long, maybe 10...

This is the latest from the local petstore, it was one that had been abandoned in an apartment when the tennets moved out. Very friendly, only time it has showed any aggression when I went to put it bac IN (not out) of cage and it went head first into hide, but before it was done unwrapping off...

How do all of you handle petstore owners/sales staff that are so unknowledgable about the most simplest things? And what do you do if they just don't seem to get it? I am talking everything from care to even the simplest things. Our petstore has has a "red ratsnake" for sale. I asked a...

Is 1.4 colony in a 10 gallon too many? Not sure just started it and had 1.2, but got two live mice to try to get stubborn eaters to eat (sand boas, since Feb) and they won't eat them, so I put the female in the colony and have a male left that I was going to take back and get another female...

Setting up a new cage and a small rack system cage is melamine and I'll be using a zoomed heat pad rack system I will be using heat cable My question is which is better to regulate: A thermostat (kind from pet stores that has dial on it) or a dimmer switch? I think the thermostat turns on...

Anyone going?????

These are Saharan Sand Boa eggs. Sorry for posting this here, but I need people that know about eggs and most boa people are clueless, plus it will get me started to pair up my creamsicles for next year. I was beginning to think my saharan was egg bound because they just weren't coming. I got...

Help me out here. I think I am getting better but just want to be sure. Is this a reverse Okeetee?? or just an amel??? It is about three years old and I may be working out a deal to get him. What do you think?

I tried searching this but I am not sure if I am looking for the right subjects. I have a snow corn that seems to be pooing quite a bit. He has gone about 4 times since last feeding, the first one being a little watery, but he had drank a bunch of water right after eating. Then, the next few...

I have posted a thread on here before about starting a colony but at that time I figured that it was effective because of the # of snakes I had. Things have changed. I plan on feeding them f/t and not prekilled, so I am thinking of this as a longer term thing. Thing is I don't know where to...

I just picked up a pair of creamsicles and need some names. I have been drawing a blank. The female is the darker orange and the male has more white. Take a look at them and give me some ideas...Thanks.

Just picked these guys up at the herp show in Hamburg, Pa yesterday. :crazy02: Seller said they have just come out of brumation and are ready for breeding. Once she gets a few meals in her I am going to give them a try. He said that they were successful last year and she had 8 eggs which 6...

I am pretty new to the cornsnake thing...about 3 months. I got this guy from a pet store that had him/her listed as an albino. I know enough that he is not an albino, but I can't determine whether he is a ghost or a snow. I have seen pictures of each, and read descriptions, but this guy seems...

I have an escaped baby milksnake in my house (the corns are well behaved) I am in a race to get it before the two cats, but so far none of us are doing well. What can I do to catch this little thing that I rescued just today????
