My grandpa loaned his digital camera to me so I've took a picture of my Ruby, a hypo miami phase, after a year of having her. She's about 30" inches long, maybe even longer. My parent's can't believe how quickly she's grown. Hopefully I'll have some more pics later.

Lately I've been having some weird dreams about cornsnakes. It's amusing, but they don't make a whole lotta sense. One thing I like about them though is I have four corns: my original crimson, an okeetee, anery, and snow. (Sometimes I wish they didn't end. I'd love to have that many, even more!)...

I've been around, but haven't posted. I'm shocked at how easy my baby Ruby has been for the first few months. That's probably why I haven't posted. There's nothing wrong with her. *scared* She's a mighty good feeder and she's had perfect sheds. And she is growing! I wanna take pics, but I takes...

In biology the other day, my teacher said that if two animals of a different species were to breed, then they would produce sterile babies (meaning the babies can't have babies). Then can jungle corns (cornsnake x kingsnake) produce babies?:confused:

I know the rule is to change the water everyday, but I'm only gonna be gone for 3 days this weekend. I can't get anyone to check on her (most of my friends are afraid of them and none of my neighbors wanna do it) She doesn't like water, so she doesn't lie in it or poop in it and she has two...

I woke up this early this morning (kinda under the weather today) and saw my baby curled up outside her hide. I didn't think much of it because it was still dark out. Now the sun is up and there pretty of light in my room, and Ruby is still curled up out in the open, only now she's covering her...

My baby is going through her 2nd shed, first since she'd been with me, and I don't have a humidity guage (I ran out of money when buying supplies, but it's on my do to list) I've been spraying the tank in the morning, afternoon, and night. Will giving her a bath add more insurance to having a...

I never quite understood what you do to post a picture that is being hosted on another site picture. How does it work and how do you do it?

While I was at school today (I miss summer vacation already!),my dad was checkin' out my baby, but she wasn't in any of the hides! My dad franatically looked around for my baby. Turns out she was under the paper towels under the aspen. I know that she has no way right now to get to the lid (I've...

My baby doesn't seem to hide in the warm end of the tank when she's digesting food. Her first feed went through just fine, so I'm not too concerned. I think day temps on the cooler side is 77F and night temps 74 (a digital thermometer would make this easier) She has a favorite (or more ideal)...

My baby's tank sits on my dresser which as a miiror on the back. It's an all glass tank and she can see her reflection and is always looking at her self. I looked though the forums and in the thread "A mirror??" people suggested that one shouldn't be near it cause it might cause stress. Should I...

How many of you prepare frozen mice in the kitchen? I did that the other day and my mom flipped out. "You didn't put it on the counter did you?! I want you to disfect the counter! And the scissors too! Prepare your mice in the garage from now on!" She didn't yell, but she was upset. Do frozen...

What can I expect the first time I hold my hatchling (next week)? Do they try to get out of your hands? Will I need to hold on? Just wanted to know beforehand.

Is there really any signs of stress for cornsnakes?

I've been monitioring the temps. in my cage and what is supposed to be the cool side almost gets to 80 degrees F and the warm side is 10 degrees warmer. Can I cool it down with a fan close by? Should I unplug the heat pad (it's already on low)? Any help is appreciated.

When I'm putting my corn in the tank for the first time, is there any specific place to put it, like by the waterbowl or on the warm end so it can know where these places are? Or will it just find these places on its own? Also, will replacing old cage furinuture with new ones confuse the snake...

I just went to my first reptile show and I loved it. I couldn't get a corn there, but I still managed to end up broke when I left. My dad seems to really like reptiles now. He really liked this nice indigo snake. My brother has decided he likes turtles, but still liked the snakes he saw. Now I...

I found some things to use as hides for my up coming hatchling. One is a box that has one open side and is white inside. Do you think painting the inside black so it's dark inside would make it more comfortable? Is acrylic paint safe? The bottle says it's non toxic, but I'm assuming thats for...

Where you you think I can get better deals on caging and supplies, a reptile show or a PetsMart/Petco? I guess it really depends, but I was just wondering if there would be a difference in prices and selection.

I'm making a "peace treaty" with my mom on getting a cornsnake since telling her doesn't help (Mention snake and she doesn't want to listen). Below are some excerpts and I'd like some feed back. Any better suggestions? Something I missed? My future as a cornsnake owner depends on the sucess of...
