Just received a yearling female normal striper. First striper for me and noticed not a hint of black in her. Went online and saw that all normals lack the black that is common around the sadles of a corn. Has anyone guessed as to why this is???

Hey Everyone, I recently aquired an adult albino corn. When i got it i probed it and it probed male. Today i was cleaning cages out and placed said snake with another one of my proven breeder males while i cleaned the cage out. Within in seconds the proven male starts doing the breeding dance...

I am sure that all of you have seen the storage drawers that rubbermaid makes- the ones that at first glance look like killer snake racks? Obviousley upon closer inspection they are unsuited as they have large gaps near the lid. My question is has anyone succesfully modified these to make them...

Not everything is from the Dollar Store but most of it is. I thought i would share this with those who are interested. It seems like there are questions on here all the time about making your own. This is my second year using this set-up. Last year i had a 100% hatch rate. Enjoy! Items bought...

Last year my female layed her first ever clutch. She gave me 10 beautiful white, plump, and healthy eggs. All 10 when full term to hatch. This year i bred her with the same male and witnessed a hook-up on feb. 1st. THey had been brumated the same amount of time as last year as well. At hook up...

Hello All, After months of waiting i finally got my first litter. I was awarded with 20 pinks from one female!!!!! I have read that sometimes they cant care for all the babies. She had them yesterday and all have milk rings as far as i can tell and i have been feeding mom lots of protein. So...

I know it varies from mouse to mouse and age etc. but typically how many litters of mice do you get before it is time to retire a female? How about the male? My first litter shoulb be here any day and i am trying to figure out when i should start holding back a 1.2 to replace the parents? Thanks

Hello All, I have been trying to figure out how to cut out the background of a photo using photo shop and i cant get right. For example, i take a pic of a snake on its aspen, how do i either erase the aspen or cut the snake out to put on another background? Any help would be appreciated!

I have my mice colonies (two 1.3 colonies) set up in an outside shed. I live in SoCal so the temps in the shed only get to about 58 at night and 70 in the day. Are the night temps too cold? I have had one colony set up for a month now and no signs of pregnancy. I have placed an under tank heat...

Has anyone used an IR thermometer to measure the temps inside their egg boxes etc. I am trying to figure out a way to keep accurate temps of my egg boxes with out having a heat leaking, moisture leaking hole for a wire to fit through. Will it take temps through plastic or glass? Or do you still...

Hey everyone, Bought this girl as an okeetee but as she has gotten older the black has come in. She is about 18" now. I am thinking 'hypo okeetee.' I dont know the parents genetics though. http://usera.imagecave.com/mormahan/Picture0082.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/mormahan/Picture0102.jpg...

I was doing some future project planning and the corn pro. predictor gave me this: "Anerythristic Hypomelanistic Amelanistic" What would this look like? Is there a common name for this? Or is this just a glitch and impossible? Thanks

Here are a few of my new hatchlings. Hatched out a week ago...

Hello everyone, well i am happy to report my first ever clutch hatched yesterday. I was expecting all normals, boy was shocked to see what came out of the eggs. It has left me confused on what the parents are het for. any help would be appreciated. The Male is amel- hets unknown, the female is...

Hello, I need help identifying two of my snakes. I bought the one pictured in the first two photos as an okeetee from a pet shop. To me it looked very similar to the christmas corns that they were selling. I think they got mixed up. This snake has very fine if any black borders. What do you...

I am sure this is probably a really amateur question but i am having problems posting pictures on the forum. it says my files are to large. How do i resize them? I am fairly computer literate but i have never dealt with digital images. Thanks for your help!

My first clutch is on day 45 and one of the eggs is starting to dent. It isnt too dry- and the other eggs are looking normal. I have been incubationg at about 82 degress with influxes to 85 sometimes as low as 79. The egg has lots of veins and a big dark embryo in it. Should i be worried or is...

Hello Everyone and let me just thank you beforehand for your help. I would like to start a Butter Mot project and wanted to make sure that my research was correct. If i breed a female Carmel and a male amel mot will i get butter mots? or will i have to wait for second generation offspring...

I found some baby corns at a shop the other day. There were some stripes and mots. They looked like normal corns i guess- with out much grey. The thing that was different was that there were no belly checks whatsoever. The owner had no idea what they were nor what the parents were. Anybody have...

Well my normal girl layed her first (and mine) clutch yesterday! 10 plump beautiful eggs. All look healthy. Boy was i excited! I bred her to my amel male. I dont know what the parents are het for so what comes out will be a suprise. I was shocked to see how deflated she was when she was done. It...
