It's not easy to dig out the camera, flip open the LCD, turn it on, and take a picture (in low lighting) when a snake is trying to wrap around the arm that you're using to take the picture... Please excuse the blur (and legs), but this had to be shared. :cheers:

Open wide! (bp pic) I wasn't going to post this pic here, but since everyone else is doing it... Just showing off my bp.

Over the last few weeks (over a month) it's becoming harder and harder to trick my snake into eating. Tonight he's flat out refusing. I brained it, and nothing. I feed 1 hopper every 7 days. What are some possible reasons why a corn will stop eating? The last few times I've had to brain the...

My boy's been living on forest bed for 4.5 months now, and he just LOVES it. When it's fresh, he burrows and when it's dry he tunnels. Instead of buying a new brick, I just spot clean and have baked it once. On the 6th month I was planning on buying a new brick. Last month I got a bp and bought...

Now I know a 20 gallon is "suitable" for an adult corn, but for a 6' corn (let's go large), what would the dimensions be on a suitable tank? I might be looking into getting a larger one soon... What's the rule again? The length has to be 1/2 or 2/3 the length of the snake and the width 1/3...

Pop quiz hot shot. If you wanted to raise the abmient temps in a glass aquarium (with a metal reptile lid) without using a lamp or portable heater, how would you go about doing that? WHAT DO YOU DO? What do you do..? /speed

Now this is new... in the last 2 weeks or so, I've noticed (I think he did this twice) that he would lift his tail to poop, but all that comes out is the egg white looking stuff, and maybe a gerbil sized poop pellet. He did have his usual large BM's during this time. Last sunday he went from...

Just a few questions. Does it dry out fast (do you have to mist to raise the humidity levels)? Has anyone had problems with bugs, mites, or scale rot? How often does it need to be changed (do I have to buy a new bag, or can I bake it)? Anything else would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but our beloved Rich has just proven his manhood!! (did I just give it away)? :sidestep: First person to guess gets... I don't know... Rich? Help me out here... :laugh: Congrats, buddy. :cheers:

Doesn't taste all that good, maybe? Just CRAP on it. And I don't mean beside it where it can "ooze" onto your dinner... I mean smack dab on the middle of it's body. Big, dump. I mean why not, right? Taste good there, buddy? Don't let anyone tell you snakes don't have personality. :-puke02:

Does anyone know how hot they get (or rather the surface of the glass)? I found something online about 35 degrees, but it didn't give me a model, wattage or size of the UTH. How likely would a burn occur using just paper towels?

... in the substrate, that is. I use forest bed and last night I took it all out, got it nice and wet with almost boiling hot water, then put it in the oven to dry it out. After it was back in the tank (and cooled down) I put my boy back in and after a minute of exploring, he decided to burrow...

What's the average diameter of a full size corn when coiled? Would 6x6 or 8x8 be too small for a hide? I know this is the corn snake forum, but I'm building two, one for my corn and one for a ball python so if you own a bp, can you answer for both? Thanks. :) Also, does anyone know what kind...

Can someone please guide me on heat packs? What they are, how they work, how long they stay warm for, what the temps are, etc. The only thing I can think of are those bags you put in the microwave or some have a jelly type substance that's activated by pushing a button, but those stay warm for...

He's blue and since he's been hiding a lot (and not out and about pooping) I decided to handle him a tub of water (which, btw, he seemed to love). I let him go to see if he'd freak out (something I never do) and he decided to go under and "float". A few seconds later he moved his head, but...

From what I understand, rats have higer nutrition, but also are higher in fats. In your opinions, are there any benefits from feeding rats over mice (and what are the negatives)? Also, can someone post a comparrison pic? Rat pinkies are about the same as a small adult, no? I just placed my...

Okay, so it was pretty exciting. I got a bit afraid he would smell my fingers afterwards and think they were mice so I put him back as soon as he was done. What a good boy though... I had him out for at least an hour, and within 10 seconds after putting him down, he takes a nice stinky dump...

What's the average number of mice one snake will eat before upping to the next size? So far, I've been buying them 10 at a time. First was 10 pinks, then another 10 pinks (fed 2-3/feeding), then 10 fuzzies. He has 4 left. Max (since I brought him home on Sept 30) was eating on average 2 pinks...

Yep. *thumbs up* That is all. :)

This is definitely the cutest thing I've seen Max do. He's always been somewhat why and often "peeks" around a corner to see if I'm looking. But I just played a 20 minute game of peekaboo with him. He would come out of one end of the hide and poke his head out, see me, then go back in. 5...
