I have a young corn snake, around 2-3 years old or so, who is in a viv with coconut shreds bedding. I did not want to feed her in her viv by fear she would ingest some of her bedding and bite me when I would put my hand in to pick her up. So, for 4 months, I would take her out to a big feeding...

I knew Ayidah was quite hungry because when she is she spends more time out of her hide looking for food. I took her out to her feeding tub where two small fuzzies had been thawing for about 30 minutes. She smelled them both and spent a good 5 minutes pushing and flipping it with the top of head...

Last week I gave Ayidah two fuzzies and a few days after feeding her I gave her a bath as always to help her go to the bathroom. Today, a week after her last feeding I gave her a fuzzy and let her eat it in peace because she was stressed when I was looking at her. When I came back the fuzzy was...

My corn snake is just about 1 year old and is a little hard to keep steady on my shoulders or on my arm for a chill handling session while watching a movie. She would normally always smelll around and try to see how she could get away from me onto other pieces of furniture. But there are two...

After chatting about the influence of culture on how people would view snakes as objects of fear, respect or admiration in another thread, I thought it would be great to learn about the beliefs and mythologies around snakes from all around the world. Here is the legend of Damballah and Ayidah...

I was handling my snake in her "play tub," touching her mid-section as she would move around and at some point, faster than I could even see it coming she turn around and just head butted me. No open mouth, no hissing, just a quick smack with her head? Is it normal snake behaviour? When do they...

I feel really bad after what happened today. I brought my 1 year old corn to show her to a friend on webcam. She was quietly wrapped around my arm, but as I was typing something on the computer she rushed to the desk and was about to get inside my printer (yes, inside, not under). I reacted fast...

I fed my 1 year old corn on Monday evening and it is now Thursday evening, so I thought I could start handling her. The session went well and she was just quietly looking around smelling everything, then after I took a picture and put the camera on my laps she decided to slide under it and hide...

I have an under tank heater with no thermostat as I have a pretty thick layer of coconut fibers substrate that allows my snake to decide how close to it she wants to be. However, I wonder if it is ok to have it under her only closed hide (she can also hide in some fake leaves on the other side...

I was given a corn snake as a gift with the tank, under tank heater, hides, coconut floor cover and a UV lamp. The think is I am not sure it is really needed. My room has a small window and is kind of dark, though, so should I set the lamp to provide some light in the darkest ours of the day...

I have been given this snake as a gift and the store did not provide the gift buyer much information except that it is a one year old female corn snake about 3ft long, but I cannot find any picture of corn snakes with white spots on their back like mine. Is it a special morph? A hybrid...
