http://m.petmd.com/reptile/care/hidden-dangers-of-owning-reptile I especially like the follow up chart, which calls aquatic turtles beginner pets. http://www.petmd.com/reptile/infographic/choosing-reptile Nice work, PetMD. :rolleyes:

In 2009, I put a UVB linear fluorescent over a rack of six yearling corns and kept a control group of siblings without supplemental light for a calendar year. The thought was that since corns regularly get exposed to some UVB radiation, perhaps there is benefit to them, if minor, from exposure...

I've had a few snakes decide food just wasn't for them this year, but all three corns seem back on track. Since it's a frustrating endeavor that we all go through, I figured I'd share my success stories and maybe they will help someone else down the road. Two were young sunrise adults, which I...

Well, Murphy wasn't my friend. I have hatched 7.3 amel sunrise and 0.10 het palmettos. I'll get het palmetto photos up shortly. Mine was bred to my sturdiest, friendliest tessera, so both parents are calm, great eaters, and all-around perfect snakes. The price is set on these at $2,000...

Much like "you must feed in a separate enclosure or your snake will associate you with food," and "if your hot spot is too hot your corn will get burned," another instance of Internet regurgitation I hear tossed around a lot is "Put your babies in a shoebox, anything bigger will make them feel...

Like the title says. Have a great one, and thanks for all you do!

I really enjoyed this article by my friend Clay. I have posted links to it many times here when the subject came up, but thought it would be nice to have a copy here on the message board as well. I know many keepers feed this way in a successful routine, and I would never say you "shouldn't"...

Looks anery, neither parent was... From a quick look over, I can't spot a single scale on this snake, most have a scattering.

I like to talk about the subjects that get people heated, and one of the big ones is heating. From the time I kept my first corn snake to now, a ton of advancements have been made in the hobby -most notably, captive bred snakes, frozen rodents, professional caging and UTH/temperature regulation...

This thread is not allowing replies, yet every other one seems to be: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1655633#post1655633 I've refreshed the page and even closed and reopened my browser. Any ideas?

Nanci's forum has some great links on reptile euthanasia, but it is closed for discussion -and for good reason. It is a controversial topic and people get as heated talking about this as hybrids and venomoids. But it is something that comes up when you keep animals. With old corn snakes, they...

Anyone watching tonight?

One was OOE yesterday, and the rest are following. Here is the mama: Most of us working with these suspect the mutation is in fact kastanie, amel and red factor (or coat, mask, disease, etc.). These guys look like snows at hatching, turn into rather typical looking low-white orange amels...

I know with dog food, there is no standard for "puppy," "adult," and "senior," and it is 99% marketing -when there are differences it varies by company. I only ever raise mice, and when I do get a doorstep rat, it just gets to live out its life here. But my question is about "young rat," vs...

I don't mind ads and understand they are crucial to supporting the site, but there is currently an AE one that plays Maroon 5 songs when your cursor goes over it. Outside of turning off my speakers, is there a way to mute this?
