Hello, I am also kinda new to keeping snakes. I have kept my boas for quite some time but since I am soon moving to a place that will not accept them I am converting to corns. Rigth now I have 4 corns, 1 male, and beleived to be 3 females. My male is about 2, and the females are all hatchlings.

Cornelius

Cornelius is my male, I bought him off a vet a couple months ago. So buying him off a vet I am ensured he is in top health and most definatly a male, he is a regular corn, may have hidden genes, not sure.

Onyx

She is most definatly the smallest of the bunch, she hatched in july and is STILL only 8 inches. She is a problemed eatter though, only eats about once a week, but is use to be in a feeding bin for meal times. She is an Okeetee and is already showing bright red colours on her head.

Peach

She is a Reverse Okeetee with some other genes I'm not aware of, and has basically the opposite problem of Onyx, she LOVES eatting. She gets soooo excited when you put her in the feeding bin she rattles and attacks anything that gose in, including your hand while your trying to remove her afterwards, she is NOT being power fed, the same age as Okeetee and is pushing 20 inches.

?

My creamsicle is still not named, I know shes not a pure corn but oh well. She hatched August 19th, and shes 18 inches last I measured. She is a cross between a creamsicle and a snow corn, and never opposed a problem untill 2 days ago she regurgatated a meal for the first time. I beleive it was a combination of moving her into a different home, and introducing the feeding bin at the same time.

So just wondering, how differently should I be treating these snakes compared to my sand boas? I reasearched them and looked things up and know quite a bit of stuff but I'd rather get the info from other snake keepers just to be sure.
 
You're corn babies sound lovely! Sorry to hear that your Okeetee is having feeding problems. I think most of us can say we've been there! And also sorry to hear that you won't be able to keep your boas.

But, welcome to the boards! This is a great place with many wonderful people. :D
 
welcome to the forums and your new addiction. lots of friendly helpful people on here. im new myself so cant help to much. hope your little one starts feeding right soon.
 
There are several great threads on getting nonfeeders to feed. There are some superknowledgeable people here.

Welcome to the next herp addiction! Corn snakes are like potato chips; somebody has it in their sig.
 
Welcome to the forum! It's a great little place, filled with some great people. I am sure you will like it. :wavey:

Your snakeys sound wonderful! Would love to see pics of them!

As far as Onyx goes, I wouldn't necessarily call that a problem feeder. If you have her eating once a week, then I think your doing great. Maybe that's all she wants to eat? :shrugs: So I wouldn't sweat that at all.

Again, welcome to the community and I look forward to seeing your posts!

All of these are old pictures, but I can't find any batteries from my camera, ahaha. The ones of Peach and Onyx are fairly new though.
 
Oh gosh no! My sand boas have never been on sand, one again I just use the coco fiber with hunks in it, ahahah. I put in 2-3 inches, they love it. Only thing with those guys is I barley see them, they like sleeping under their water bowl. Thank you though!

Creamsicle X Snow
Shes starting to show signs of being snow, her head had now got a patch of white, and scales throughout the body are transparent, I will get a new pic tonight :). I actually got her off of someone who uses this site, she recommended it to me.
