And weirdly great timing. The first clutch all molded, except one egg. That egg was supposed to hatch near the first of July, so yesterday I checked for movement and then slit, and like suspected, it wasn't viable. But it does appear the male carries amel as a het! I took the incubator down...

She just shed today, and I managed to get some decent shots. I think my favorite thing about Cali kings is that it looks like someone poured ink between their facial scales.

But so far it seems to be going well. The happy couple after their first successful lock and right before I removed him again.

This is just more for sharing info. July 2013 - bought female western hognose, small but eager feeder. Nov. 2013 - Female hognose developed a small kink on her back. It was not there before, we examine our snakes carefully for kinking and my husband is especially good at feeling them on the...

After four months of scenting with everything, adjusting temps, keeping him on paper towels, carefresh, newspaper, finally getting him to take a few pieces of hardboiled eggwhite and eggwhite with calcium sprinkled on it, the little hognose FINALLY took a pink! I had nearly given up on trying...

I haven't had an escape in years, not since I tightened security. But today I go to feed the juvie females and check on the juvies/adults fasting for brumation and my butter juvie girl is missing from her locked up 20L. I tear the place apart, I swear again to build a dedicated reptile room so...

Thranduil shed yesterday, so today we pulled her out and took some photos.

The husband goes to get ready for work and I hear from the bedroom "Hey, come look, Sif's standing." Most likely she'd started stretching up for the lid when he turned the light on and came in, making her scrunch back and hold perfectly still. I quickly snapped a few shots before she...

Meet Tauriel She a normal colored, twin spotted, 100% het amel Hognose, hatched by Chip on the forums here! I was very happy to get a chance to purchase her. She's been tucked away to be left alone to settle in, but I'm hoping to update with progression pics as she grows. She looks like...

"How dare you pick me up, put me in a feeding container with a nice warm pinky, and then release me from my cup! I will BITE YOUR FACE OFF!" There's a reason we've been calling her and her 'sister' The Angry Noodles.

I hadn't seen this before. (I can't accurately remember the dealer, they had no signs up) but in the display bins for a corn snake seller, one was full of pipping eggs! And in another bin, one of the hatchling corn snakes was belly up and dead. I wish I'd gotten pictures, but it was fairly...

Well, technically they're my husband's while the corns are 'mine', but we care for them all together. Hiddles, the red-blond male. Rosie, red-blond female. The last pic shows her colors the best, she's quite intense. Dis, the 66% het lavender girl. They're all from Cahaba River...

First the Motley girl. She's tiny, and shy. And so very sweet. Now the normal patterned girl. She's a pistol! I put her in the tank and this happened. While the motley girl shot down under the substrate to hide, she decided to attempt to test the lid right away. Couldn't quite reach, but...

He shed just a couple days ago, so my guy and I got some good pics. He's a lot more grey, visibly, the flash makes him look browner. We named him Angel because he looks like dark stone, and when you look at him, he holds perfectly still, look away and look back and he's in a new position...

He was sold to me as a charcoal (anery B) but I'm thinking at the least pewter? (diffused anery B) He might be getting ready to shed. If he does and there's any noticeable color change, I'll update pics.

Lazza, my Amel girl is on regurge protocol and she's cranky about it, but doing great. Today went to feed her two fuzzies. This happened. Sure doesn't look vicious, does she? (post-locking up pic. They're not cohabbed)

I've been planning out some tank decorations and love the idea and look of Styrofoam sealed with tile grout. Now I know this is probably silly of me, but I was thinking tile grout was a bit like spackle paste. You went to the store, found the one kind available, chose the size tub you wanted...

Just more of a curiosity. Dogs have shows, cats have shows, fish have shows, plants have shows. Pretty much if it's a hobby, people will find a way to turn it into a contest. With reptiles, as best I can tell, it's all fun and personal preference with a healthy dash of science. Why is that...

Hit a new-to me SC petco while on vacation, looking for hidden treasure. They had their baby corn, four obvious amel, two normals. I am about 90% sure the normal are Okeetee-look. I've looked at lots and lots of different normal babies, and these had the thickest black borders I've seen on...

Before I met my husband I used various things to keep screen lids closed. He's the artistic one though, and he decided to surprise me with flower pot lid weights. This is actually the newest one we made, don't have any good photos of the others. The flowerpot is filled with pea pebbles and...
