Jaffar turned one in September. He's continually gained weight at each feeding and never lost any. This past week he went down 6g. The past 6 weights were 282g 287g 296g 295g 297g 291g There's normally been at least a 5g gain prior to this past month. Sometimes even over 10g. So I'm a...

I moved Jafar up to medium sized mice thanks to the advice of a member. She weighed 148g the day she ate it and seven days later at her next feed she had gained a whopping 15g, to 171g. The most I think she'd ever gained before was 8g. Awesome!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful advice.

Jaffar turned one year old in Sept. and had been gaining quite steadily, now she's been slowing down. Just wondering if this is normal for a yearling. 7/25/2015 108g hopper 8/7/2015 shed 8/9/2015 107g hopper 8/16/2015 110g hopper 8/23/2015 110g hopper 9/6/2015 120g hopper...

I needed to check to see if it's time to move Jafar up from fuzzies but the site is frozen. She was 56g at her last feeding which was this morning. I normally feed her on Sundays and don't really want to switch her feeding day, but she missed the past two Sundays because she was getting ready...

Jafar has been going straight to her hammock after she eats for the past few meals. I suppose it's not harmful, but had heard they needed to be on their UTH for digestion, though she's had no problems, just wondering if anyone else has experience with this?

I think I have been jinxed by reading about all these recent escapees. I went to check my little not feeder today to try to get her to eat again and no snake, I tore down the entire tank and cleaned it out. I have little to no hope of finding her alive. I can't bait any bottles cause she...

Nagini refused her past two meals and today I found her dead. So sad, she was so sweet. She's the only I bought from a pet store, and never again. She also had a birth defect according to the vet, her mouth wouldn't close all the way and she had an overload of bacteria which I did treat, but...

So I bought 100 pinkies in Nov. when I got my first two corn snakes who were the same size. Jafar is now up to 26g and ate 2 pinkies plus one without a head, simply because it was left over from when I tried feeding a smaller one the head only. I just read on the Medusa chart that she should...

Nagini just took her last of two doses of metrinizadole for bacteria. She's refused her last two feedings. She's never refused. The doc said this is not a side effect. Dies anyone have any experience with this med?

The last few times I've fed Nagini these little things have been in the container. Last night she didn't eat, her first refusal. She's done with her meds for her bacteria overload. I was inclined to think it was poop, but not sure, normally when I see her poop it's dried up and black.

Well today I brought a stool specimen in of both Nagini and Jafar. Nagini is the sick one but I just wanted to double check on Jafar as well. Nagini has an over abundance of bacteria apparently so the doc prescribed Metronidazole. One dose today and another in a week. Praying that cures her...

My little Nagini with the birth defect where the mouth doesn't completely close has never gained weight since I got her Nov. 6th, she was 11g and then this past feed down to 9g, I could feel the loss when I picked her up. She did eat, but I'm concerned about internal parasites. The vet never...

I went to buy some aspen bedding today at my local Theisens and paid $8.95 for a small bag in the pet dept. So I called my local feed store and they had huge bales of it for $7.50. Score! Taking the small bag back tomorrow. ;)

So I just got my thermostats and thermometers set up today the correct way, under the astro turf carpet instead of probes on top. Now when they're set to 87 degrees the top of the carpet above the probe is only reading 79 degrees which I would assume isn't warm enough. Advice would be greatly...

I went to see if Jafar looked more like she was getting ready to shed today and I found her shed skin before I found her, LOL. How odd that I never noticed cloudy eyes. I do see the difference in her coloring now though, she's much brighter than she'd been, so maybe she just gradually got dull...

So I got Jafar Nov. 6th and I'm pretty sure she had never shed, she was 11g and now is up to 17g and she's still never shed. Is this normal? I would think that as much as she's grown she would've definitely shed already. And yes humidity levels are good in her viv. I never see her soak, but...

I went to a local pet store today only because I had to get a live pinky to try to get my non feeder eating. I can't stand going into this particular store because it smells horrible and they treat their animals awful. I took this pic because it looks like this python was dead. I was going to...

Ok, so I'm heading up to the city that has the live pinkies now. Just born today. I will be putting it in a small deli cup with my 6g non feeder, Slytherin. How long should I leave her in the cup with the pinkie before I give up if she refuses to eat it? Or should I use a bigger container...

So I was really worried about Nagini and Slytherin and I took them to a herp vet who I used to take my iguana to over 20yrs ago. He was wonderful and only charged me $22. He gave me a feeding tube and some carnivorecare powder for Slytherin, also gave her her first feeding. So hopefully she...
