I moved one of my snakes out of a 20 gallon long into his permanent enclosure. Its in a darker corner of the room so I want to get some kind of bright light on the tank. I'm going with a linear fluorescent, should I just go ahead and use a low ubv, like a 2.0?

I got a baby mandarin (amel kastanie) last fall that was listed het anery, het red factor but now I see red factor is co dominant. Does this mean he should show increased red if he has the gene? I haven't been able to find a red factor mandarin to compare him with. His mother was red factor...

I have bad eyes and couldn't get a good look at ferns head until I got this picture today. It looks like the scales don't cover his whole head area. Will these grow at all or will they always look strange?

Just got this little fella from SMR. Het anery and red coat

is it really a bad idea to feed a snake two smaller food items instead of one bigger one? Its a popular opinion on Facebook groups that only pinkies should be feed double, anything bigger is too difficult to digest. This just doesn't make sense to me. As long as its a appropriate sized meal, why...

I looking at acquiring this king. I believe its a florida but his markings are odd. Can anyone shed some light on the morph?

I was searching morph market and came across a pied sided blood that was listed as no white. Isn't the white marking what makes a pied, pied? How would you tell a no white apart from a regular blood?

its been a few years since my last corn died. Finally decided it was time to get another. Beautiful little male bloodred, will be here next week. Photo owned by smr Still trying to decide on a name

Looking at maybe getting this snake? Do you think she qualifies as a RO? How does she look body wise? Its been a few years since I bought a corn.

Picked up my first kingsnake from a big box store. It was just listed as a florida king, they were calling it the pinky one. Can any tell me anything about it besides its a albino? I can't figure out if its a brooks or what. I'd like to have some idea what it may look like as a adult.

My new boy had a perfect shed last night and he took his first frozen/thawed mouse with absolutely no problems.

Just picked this guy up today. He(she?) is 40.76 inches and 250 grams, is missing a little of its tail. Is at least 2 years, probably closer to three. How do you think he looks? I think he needs some more weight and enough food to grow proper. stubby tail

Hello everyone. I'm definitely not new to snake or the site but I'm feeling like a newbie at the moment. My first corn snake ever passed away last year and I've been on the lookout for another. I had basically given up on the idea of another when I came across a add for a normal on craigslist...

I lost my beloved creamsicle a few months back and I'm now ready to find another snake to love. I'm looking for a adult as I have quite a lot of frozen small rats. I will consider other sizes, depending on the snake but I'm not interested in hatchlings. Not looking for anything fancy, a nice...

Can anyone help ID this snake? Not sure where its from excepts its a native USA. I'm getting that info now.

Grabbed a couple quick pics of the new rescues. If they are misidentified, please let me know. I'm just going by the labels that were on the cages. Tri color honduran. 2 feet Albino Sinaloan. 2 feet, 1 1/2" Might name this one freckles for all the little spots on its nose and just because...

I found myself the sudden and unexpected care taker of two young milk snakes today. A tri color honduran and a albino sinaloan, they were a pity rescue and for the time being I have them set up in cages just like a corn. Is this ok? or do they need more/less heat/humidity? I know I can find the...

I think one of my female mice has a little respiratory infection and I'd like to treat her. I have some baytril I can dose all the mice with but one is pregnant and I need the pinkies. Will it hurt my snake if she eats one of those pinkies? I know I should just do away with all my mice but...

My little rescue who has had so many regurges has kept down 4 meals now. I'm starting to have a bit of hope for her and though I'd start a progression of her journey to become healthy. I've not named her, didn't want to get too attached but I feel its time to give her a proper name, any...

My poor little girl had another regurg last night, this is the third in a month. She has only managed to keep down three very small meals. She is losing weight again. I just don't know what to do, I've been following Kathys protocol but its not working. Any ideas?
