HOWDY FOLKS

The compassionate responses ive recieved are a great welcome and encouragement. They have helped me to get to where i am now. im used to nose in the air single snake owner know it alls telling me I have no business 'saving' animals, well no-one else is doing it here where i live so I found my niche in that need and have rehomed over 400 animals to other homes since starting. ive kept quite a few that have won my heart and most of them are corns.
Your thoughtful consideration of my condition and encouragement is most appreciated, its the gas that makes the car go ;)
Thank you for being so kind, more of this is needed.
 
Im converting a room in my basement that formerly was my bedroom/sickroom
My sons have moved out so im occupying (slowly) a second floor bedroom and converting the old basement rom into a snake room 13 x 11, easier to control climate, all snakes (most) are in racks so its an easy transition and i have a few pals to help me.
Im so excited!!
 
I have decided to breed miamis, butters and oaketees as singular gene snakes
I have others im mixing to make multigene snakes for the less financially gifted they will be mutts but crossing 2 of them could create a clutch of 4 or 5 different snakes, tesseras and pied someday. :)
 
We are really happy to have you here and will help you any way we can. At times opinions may differ, discussions may get heated, but I have never seen any member attack another verbally. This said, no one has ever left this forum without learning a little something about their corn. I personally do give very "strongly suggested" information to members sometimes, it may seem like I am the "mean girl", but these posts are to people who continue to ask questions they already got the advice on but refuse to take it, start a new thread in 3-4 different unrelated topics and end up with a sick or injured corn. Most are just looking for attention, but I always treat them as newbies unless they are doing something to harm the snake.

Every one of us is here with one goal: get drunk on margaritas. Oh wait, that's MY goal, the real goal is to help corn snake owners new and experienced to share their thoughts and ideas.

It really is a lovely place to be with lovely people to communicate with!

Welcome! (and don't forget the Tequila! I am the total goofball of this forum, and am proud to wear that hat.)

I bought 10 hypos to sell and keep 3 of them for myself. I learned that giving them a nice tree trunk to climb only helps them escape from the cage. They seem obsessed with getting out of the cage even though its big. I have 3 corns on the loose, hopefully they will find mice nests and eat the babies.

I do have one question for you, are all your corns in the same viv?
 
noooo
i use racks and tubs for some so i can control mating
others are together in small amounts like 2 or 3 females in a long 55 with tons of hides and substrate. They seem to love it.
 
The reason I asked is that corn snakes can and will be cannibalistic. There is a lot of documentation on this, and for corns, separate tubs, vivs or tanks are highly recommended. You say that they seem to love it, but it isn't love they feel, it is the fight for resources that keeps them together. They all want the same spot or same hide for temperature or security purposes, but they are not pack animals and it is highly recommended that you separate them immediately.

Here is something you should read on them, it may prevent heartbreak in the future. Why corns should NOT cohab

A lot of people make this mistake, I just would hate to see it happen to you!
