    Scales looking weird. Bad shed or...?

    Roughly two weeks ago, my corn had a bad shed. First time that's happened. I did what was the suggested method and placed him in a separate container with some water on the bottom + cloth. What I though was the rest of his shed he got rid of quickly and easily and everything looked good. Now...

    Questions about moving

    I'm moving this weekend. It's not far at all (2 miles) so I figure I don't have to worry about overheating (especially in this weather and obviously he wouldn't be tucked in the back of a truck). But my questions are really just about minimizing stress during and after the move. For such a...

    Early feeding question

    With the holiday coming up, I've realized that I either feed early twice, or end up with an 8 day gap. Would it matter if I feed him a day early and then again after 4 days (normally I do every 5)? He shed last week, so I'm not too keen on doing another longer-than-normal stint of no feeding so...

    Cleaning porous decorations?

    I've searched but I never really found an answer to this. How do you go about cleaning your porous viv decorations? Like hides, logs, etc.? Is a vinegar/water mixture safe to just spray on or will it be harmful if it's absorbed (which I assume some of it would be)? Thanks.

    Should I buy a dehumidifier?

    So the hygrometer has been rather high this week(70+) and this morning it's hovering around 80. The viv is a Zilla one, so the top is just the mesh screen, so I can't really imagine that giving it more ventilation would do anything. It's also probably not helped by the fact that we never run our...

    Prometheus - The "other" fire

    First, I apologize for some blurry pictures. I don't know how you people get decent pictures. My little guy never stops moving if I don't have my other hand ready for him to move to, he'll crawl down until he falls (he's done that before :rolleyes:). Perhaps I should rename him "the Flash".

    Increase feeding question

    The pinkies I'm getting seem to be on the small side, so I figure it's time to start feeding him more. If it helps, he currently weighs 9g. The pinkies that I've picked up seem to be pretty much 1g (I weight one today, the others seem to be the same size). The bulge is gone as far as I can tell...

    "Old-School" Bloodreds

    I'm curious why the morph is called "old-school". I mean, I can take a guess that it's because that morph has disappeared. If that's correct, why'd that happen? Other morphs seem pretty sustainable over generations, so why did the dark black/red bloodred get lost? Or am I just completely wrong...

    First shed(?) questions

    After coming back home yesterday from vacation (was gone 5 days), I noticed that Prometheus was hiding in the late evening (which was a first since I've got him). Same with today. So I dug around to make sure he actually was still in the cage (and not dead :awcrap:). Thankfully he wasn't (dead...

    My new fire baby!

    Time for some pictures. Here's <name pending> from Steve Roylance (thanks Steve). I've had him for about 2 weeks. Of course, more (better) pics as he gets more comfortable with me and the camera. He'll usually poke his head out a little bit when he's ready to start exploring. He'll sit like...

    Handling baby - question

    How should I go about actually picking up my baby (literally a baby, not just dear to me ;))? The first, and so far only time, I've tried he was very flighty. Which is understandable completely, but it makes actually doing anything quite difficult. Short of actually grabbing him, which I figure...

    First feed question

    So I took my new snake (baby) out of it's viv today (got it last Wednesday) and tried giving him a pinky. He seemed more intent on moving around the feeding container and trying to find a way out. I've put him back in his viv now, but what should I do about the feeding? Should I just leave him...

    Humidity too high?

    I searched through everything I could find about people posting this question, but I never found a good answer. So, My hygrometer is reading between 70 and 75% (humidity outside is in the 80s right now). My questions are: is there any problems associated with humidity this high? Should I try...

    Cold house and tank heating

    My room usually stays fairly cool, around high 60s. This is usually just when I'm at work or during the night (may get mid to high 60s during the night). When I'm home (and actually awake) I can usually turn on a space heater in my room and get the temperature up to a more comfortable mid 70s...

    Bloodred Amel vs Hypo

    I've looked at what amel and hypo both mean and looked at pictures of each (specifically bloodred amels and hypos). But the differences seem to be so minor. So I come to here and ask, what is the major difference between the two morphs? Thanks.
