I've got a female snow that has pretty much always been a good eater except for a feeding time here or there were she wouldnt eat, but overall shes always been very good with eating. She has now missed 4 feedings in 1 month and during her feeding times she seems to have little to no interest in...

I am going to buy a thermostat and was looking towards the helix and ranco thermostats. i wanted to know what anyone here believes are the best and why and also if you know of any other good ones to please mention those also.

I Currently Have 2 Corns And 1 Boa And They Are All Housed In Glass Aquariums. I Wanted To Know If Anyone Knows Of A Good Shelf System That Works Well For This. I Was Hoping On Something Metal And Adjustable, But I'm Willing To Take Suggestions On Other Possibilites As Well. Any Help Would Be...

It was feeding time today and after reading up a lot on feeding here and in the new books I received, the corn bibles part 1 and 2, I figured I would try feeding my snake 2 pinkies to see where he was at in feeding. I read that at the size hes at he should probably be ready for a larger size...

My snake is almost always in his hide and whenever i want to handle him i have no choice but to remove him from his hide. Ive been told on this forum not to do this, but ive also been told that if i want him to be ok with being handled i have to do this. Now my problem is that once hes out and...

Heres Cousin It. It got the name because I dont know if Its a boy or a girl. I will find out soon though. Not as exotically colored and many Ive seen here, but Its a beaut.

I finally had a successful time handling the snake last night. He was completely done shedding and hadnt eaten in about 4 days so I decided it was a good time. I got him out with his hide and all and he didnt come out, but i slowly began to touch him and then gently pulled him out. He...

I just made the move yesterday after some good advice from a few people on this forum and it all ready seems to be paying off. My humidity went up, very slightly, but up. Also I was worried before about not having a hot and cold side to my viv, it was all hot. Now it seems the aspen brought...

I see everyone here all follows the same rule of don't feed the snake in it's viv, feed in an empty container outside the viv. Exactly why is this? Also my snake rarely ever wants to leave it's hide so would I have to put him in the other container with his hide and all?

My snake shed right before i got him a little over 2 weeks ago. He is in the process of shedding again, but it's not coming off as 1 long piece it's little by little. What causes this and how can i help? I've heard wetting the snake a little by misting him or putting him in the waterbowl...

I completely forgot to mention that i finally saw my snake eat for the first time. I got it a little over 2 weeks ago and it had eaten 2 pinkies since i had got him all ready but i hadnt seen those. This time i put the pinky in(I didnt put it in a separate container to eat I actually put the...

I am using the basic analog zoomed thermometer/hygrometer combo and i have heard that this is not the most accurate one to use so i was wondering which digital setups you guys use and where you got them from as i want to make sure i know the exact temp/humidity in the tank so i can do my best...

I keep seeing things like 1.0 this or 0.1 that. What do these numbers mean?

I have a problem where my house is very warm and because of this i cant get the temps for the snake down to 75 degrees even with all lights off. My setup is a 29 gallon tank with the reptile sand as a substrate, a water bowl on the far right side, a hide rock in the middle, a log tunnel on...

I just got my corn snake about 2 weeks ago and i left him alone for a while so he could get used to his new surroundings. He's been eating fine and all is okay except he only comes out at night so i cant really handle him. I have more access to him now but if i try to get near him h gets into...
