hi i went to the local reservior this afternoon (12-3pm) looking for some snakes and came up empty handed. it was my first attempt since i was a little kid. i know a ton of snakes are nocturnal so when is the best time to look for them? i mean when it's pitch black your not gonna see them at...

i'll look over from time to time and one of my snakes will yawn randomly. he'll also do it when im handling him too...its cute but i hope thats not abnormal.

anyone have these? i saw the new babies at a show the other day and i'm completely obsessed with them now. i think they are so cool and they don't get big at all which is think is cool. i also think its cool that they aren't really all that common. i'm kinda kicking myself right now cause they...

but i think this guy sucks for doing this: http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=60&de=397027 why would you take snakes from the wild and sell them for TWICE as much as captive bred ones...which have no parasites and are completely healthy?

i just wired my first rack. i soldered the wires to the flexwatt, and am using a dimmer to control the heat. now here's my question...the cost of 1 foot of 12" flexwatt (3.80), a dimmer (2.50) and wire (1.25) i could just made a single heat pad that i can control for roughly 7 bucks. how does...

ok so we've got colubrids that get 4-6 feet long and we've got burms and retics that get 14-20 feet long now what kind of snakes get in the 7-12 foot range? i'm just looking for something new that gets big, but not so big you have to feed it huge rabbits every week; and just the normal girth of...

i've ignored this too much, i need to figure out what exactly an ultramel is. now if that gene is codominant, then what is the super form of it...or is there one? if you breed an ultramel to a normal do you get 50% ultramels and 50% normals. and if you breed two ultramels together what do you...

so i've got enough snakes now that a rack is in order. i know this is a corn snake forum, but im going to be housing mainly ball pythons in this rack..it'll work with corns too but i just want to note that if anyone sees a problem with my design. the snakes are barely a year old and i just want...

Hey, i need to order like 25.00 worth of flexwatt and clips but the beanfarm wants 10 dollars to ship 25.00 worth of stuff which isn't really economical. anyone know anywhere else online that sells flexwatt and has actual shipping, not just a flat rate number they pick?

I know a breeder that has an 05 ball python that has cuts/wounds on it's lip and two holes/bites on its side and tail. he mentioned that "he should probably do it a favor and put it out of it's misery". i don't think he would have a problem just giving it to me if he's going to do that, but i...

my girlfriend is coming home from college for spring break and she wanted to bring her 05 corn snake home. it's really only 14-16 inches and she was just gonna put it in a rubbermaid cup in her carry-on bag. is there anything that would not allow her to do this? i mean i understand if she gets...

Hey guys, i'm going to be visiting Western noth carolina (asheville) in the beginning of april and i was looking for some tips on herping. i've never really been successful at looking for snakes (and never did it too often either), but i figure in north carolina in the woods there are better...

it's not really a rescue, but the pet store next to my work has a full grown corn (don't know sex or age) but he/she's huge and in a 5 gallon tank (they all are) the price tag is 100$ but don't you think a shop would wanna cut a break to get an adult that will never sell out of there? i've seen...

i will preface this post to say that it's not about weather breeding snakes as an investment is good/bad but just weather or not it is in fact profitable. now i'm a novice snake owner. i have a few corns that are for both pets and for breeding once they are big enough. when i was younger, like...

now this MAY sound really stupid but... i was wondering if could keep a small colony of breeder mice outside in my shed so they will stay out of the way and keep the stink out of my house. i live in Maryland so temps right now range from 30-50. mice are mammals....and they manage to live and...

my 7 month old corn ingested a peice of shredded aspen with it's pinkie last night. i know this is not good, but i figure if snakes can digest bone they should be able to digest a little peice of wood right?

ok here are a couple of snakes i was wondering what the outcome would be if the two were bred. i've already tried to figure it out on my own but i wanna see what the right answers are to see if i'm doing it right blizzard x ghost motley snow x motley sunglow okeetee x anything (normal i...

do you guys know of any ball pythons/boas/pythons message boards out there that are as good as this one is for corn snakes?

according to this example: http://www.pitt.edu/~mcs2/herp/genetics.html if R is red and B is black what other traits are there that you throw into the mix?

Hi i just started collecting some corn snakes and i'm hoping to breed some blizzards in the future. What is the ideal way to get the most possible blizzards with a pair short of breeding two blizzards together? if blizzards are a mix of amelanistic and anerythrism type B, can i just breed an...
