I'm upgrading my corn to a final living space, an 18x36 base tank, and would like to switch him over to an overhead heat source (have been using pads, the current one is to small for his tank so $$ is going into his heating either way). This is to encourage him to come to the surface a bit more...

I'm wondering if its odd for a ~30g snake to stay in blue for over a week? Hes been in blue for ~9 days now, where he usually only stays like that for only a few before clearing up before the final shed. I'm just a bit concerned because I don't feed during sheds so he hasn't eaten in ~14 days...

When I was first researching getting a snake I looked first into Green Snakes, who eat mainly insects (crickets as their primary food source). I read over and over again that these snakes would benefit from and appreciate having a meal-worm or other randomly appropriated insect on occasion. My...

After not eating since May 22 my 1 1/2 month old R/O has eaten. What it finally took was leaving a paper towel in him cage for a week to get used to and let absorb the smell of the aspen, then putting that in her feeding tub and closing him in his tub with the tub in his tank for a night with...

I realize snakes go through periods of not eating, but since Ransom is so small (hes only on single pinks) I figured I needed to start asking questions. He has fed for me twice, so far. The first 2 Times I fed him by putting him in his little plastic container and leaving him in the dark for an...

Sorry for the quality, I tried about 50 shots in different lighting, this is the best I can do with the Screen mounted camera I have. Had just finished reading C.S. Lewis's space trilogy (The Silent Planet Perelandra That Hideous Strength) when I decided it was time for a corn and given corn's...

So I've fed twice so far (1 pink every 4 days) and his next scheduled feeding day is tomorrow night. Every day or 2 I've done a search of the top bit of aspen and in all his hides but seen nothing, so my question is this, whats normal for frequency of defalcating? I haven't done a top to bottom...

Came in today and my roommate had left a suitcase on top of our freezer, (the one I bought specifically to keep snake food in, as I'll be living w/ 3 guys in an apartment soon). The suitcase had knocked open the door and the freezer was partially open and my supply of mice (49 small pink, 50...

First attempted feed of my new R.O. didn't go over so well. He was nervous, I was nervous, he wasn't ready to eat. He struck a few times, but never actually latched on to the half pink I was trying to feed him, rattled a bit too. I left the pinky in the cup I was feeding him in with a lid on it...

Hiya, I'm relatively new here, about a month on the forums doing research for my first cornsnake, a reverse okeetee hatchling that I should have in a few days. Figured I'd post a few pic's of my tank set up and see if you guys see anything that screams mistake! As I said, I've been doing...

I know this has probably been discussed to death, but I cannot find a thread on it. In doing research I've heard about the effects of pine and cedar shaving, but I haven't heard of anyone using a product like http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752642 in their cage. I used it...

I'm getting ready to set up a tank for a corn snake and I have a question about dimensions. I've got a ~28 gallon fish tank that a relative is letting me have, but it was designed for viewing creatures more suited to a vertical environment. its base is 30x12inches, will this be deep enough for a...

Hiya, I'm doing research right now on getting a corn snake hatchling in June and the question of a food supply has come up. I've decided to order my feed and have it shipped rather than pay double the price at the local pet shop, but the only experience I've had w/ snakes was taking over the...
