Ok, this was a first for me and I just had to share my first constriction! I didn't let go of his little mousie very fast and I guess he thought it was fighting back so he killed it again. As a newbie...Ive never seen a snake do it so it was a moment. The kids and I all thought it was so much...

Hi, this is Monterey...my new 2010 caramel stripe motley. She is named because carmel reminds me of "Carmel"...one of my favorite towns on the Monterey pennisula. And motley is similar to Monterey...it sorta stuck in my head. Plus I get a kick out of calling a snake Monty for short, even if...

Hi, with school just around the corner I am anticipating some kind of request to bring my corns to school for some science class or other. I have both a 5th and 1st grader...and we are the only family either know with snakes. Does anyone have any advice on how to show off (normally docile)...

http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.html#/video/us/2011/08/01/dnt.tn.snake.surprise.wpty This is pretty amazing. This poor snake going 60mph with this family. They didn't want to pull over..ok maybe because it's not safe to just pull off the highway with your kids in the car...and maybe if you...

THis is Argus, our classic corn. He is a sweetie....until you point a camera at him! This snakes plays in lincon log houses, lego forts and climbs ropes...but point a camera at him and he flips! Not only is he s'd up, what 3x, but rattling his tail too!

Hi, I have what was sold to me as a pet a "zig Zag ghost"..looking on Ian's Vivarium it seems like the terms zig zag and Aztec are interchangeable for when the saddles are split and misaligned down the spine. Is this an example of the industry not being in agreement, a European vs American...

I just had to post these...this is what happens when you combine Barbie play time with snake excersize time. I wonder what Ken will think?

This is Crystal, my family's ghost zig zag. She is just getting to know us, but after chilling in her awesome fairy themed viv (my 6 year old daughter's doing) while we were on vacation, I took her out for a little TLC this morning. I think she is just lovely with almost a pale liliac ground...

Hi, Im relatively new, but am learning lots from everyone on the site and have already jumped into the deep end of the pool with 3 snakes. I will definately be sharing photos of them shortly, but my 3rd is still settling in from his traveling jitters. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone with...

Ive read a lot about lighting and heating on this site, and have learned so very much. My other 2 corns are perfectly happy in rooms that get plenty of daylight with their reostat controlled UTH's. But I've decided I need a friend to keep me company in my quilt studio...which is my basement...

What is it with snakes?? A week ago I had NO snakes. Now I have 2....good lord they are cute and fun. Even though we really only got to hold the (older of the two) for like ONE day so far! My heart all of a sudden feels so open to these things. I was searching craigslist today for a 20L...

Firstly, THANK YOU to all the experienced snake hobbyist here who have been so very helpful to all us newbies. I am sure you get tired of answering variations of the same questions. I tried to search for my answer, but I cant quite find the exact one I need. We adoped a yearling corn last...

I quickly found out after bringing home our first snake last week...that we need two. Two kids + one snake = mom's headache over the posessiveness. In any case, my daughter wants her tank to be "girly" Go figure. What I want to know is can I put silk flowers / greenery in the tank provided I...

This is my son and my (i mean his) new cornsnake, adopted today! We are thrilled to have little Argus living with us. His breeder says he is an Okeetee...although quite frankly I can't tell the difference between an Okeetee and a normal. Is he one? I hope so..since they mature so...

I'm almost more excited than my son that today was our long awaited adoption day for our first corn snake. He has been earning money to buy his corn for more than 4 months making and marketing duck tape wallets. He bought every scrap of everything himself...he's 10 and just finished 4th grade...

I am in the process of helping my 10 year old get a baby corn. From all I've read his age and our inexperience point to getting a slightly older snake. Nevertheless there is a lot of fun factor in "baby anythings". He seems to like just about any morph he sees...the next color variant he...

Ive been reading all the posts thus far on the subject...and I have (I think) a new question. My son and I went to a reptile show today and got a Zilla 10 gallon tank for our future baby corn snake and a ZooMed UTH that is about 1/3 the floorspace. I know we still need to get a thermostat and...

I know a small tank would be much better...but a friend is selling a 40 gallon tank that has the taller sides that seems so perfect for an adult for only $40 (by zilla tanks). That seems like a steal...but will a baby corn be comfortable there? What if I give it lots of hides? Seems like this...

Hi, I have consented to let my 10 year old research getting a Corn and present me with his reasoning/finacial projections of snake ownership...but I really like snakes (tho Ive never owned one)...so Im pretty sure he'll get a yes. In any case is there particular Morph that TYPICALLY stays...
