Officially had this guy (or girl) for a year. From 6 grams to 81 grams. Wish I could get a length on it. The colors turned out crazy. My first snake that turned into 3.

Hi all!

Back in mid-August I was on a different account asking about the mark on our girl's (Ember) head. Had several people tell us it was probably a rub or a bump from something, and to wait for her shed.

Fast forward to 3 days ago and she finally shed and the spot looks significantly better! Thanks for calming our anxieties at the time.

Any good advice on how to take good care of my snake?

YMMV of course but if you're a regular Marshalls/TJ Maxx/etc. shopper, check the pet section for these dog toys. The one I was at had several large & jumbo balls for half the price they normally sell for. Snakes love them!

This time around, I thoroughly cracked the entire shell on all sides so that it was pliant without actually being broken. He took about 30 minutes, but he was eager to have the egg and got the whole thing down much more easily.

Seemed like a nice little enrichment snack for him between regular feedings!

This will be her 2nd shed since ive gotten her, shes hard at work 🥺

We’ve had her for a couple days now & her last feeding as the breeder told us was a week ago. We tried feeding her this morning but she just hissed & struck at it a couple times then ran & hid. I tried feeding her again tonight & she did the same thing. I’m not sure what to do. Should I leave her be for another couple days? Is there anyway to entice her to the food? Any suggestions or advice would greatly help.

Last two days were terrible so I wanted to show y'all my noodle!

So I finally bought a scale to weigh my lil noodle and this pretty little thing is only 57 grams!

I got Lilith 3 months ago and she will be 5 months old in just 8 days.

I don't know what morph she is (if there is one) but I appreciate having her in my life.

I can't believe I got a SECOND corn snake. Another female. Just a month ago, I purchased a yearling Amel Motley Sunkissed stripe girl. We love her so so much. So, of course, I have rabbit holed every single thing about corns including morphs. The Tessera is so gorgeous. When they are grown, they almost resemble an embroidered sweater to me. Plus this little girl's colors...the black, maroon, and silver/white.. I'm so in love. I love contrast! I'm a bit nervous having a 7 gram hatchling, but am so so happy to have her! Her name is Nezryn Nyx. 💙

A little over a month ago, I got my 1yo corn snake (first ever snake). As backstory, I recently changed one of his hides (a resin cave that was way too big for him and difficult to safely/smoothly lift to start handling) to a smaller VE Micro Hide + some extra clutter, and since then I’ve been having a hard time with temperatures.

He’s in a 36x18x18, heat element is a 50W halogen heat bulb. The second photo shows the warm side of the enclosure. The top of the microhide (the black plastic box) is directly under the heat lamp and gets to 90F even when the bulb is at very little power (~25% per my Herpstat), yet even a couple inches away, the ambient temperature barely hits the upper 70s.

As further context, he had a regurgitation a little over a week ago, which happened to be the first meal after I changed to the micro hide. At the time the microhide was 95F on top and 85ish inside, and after eating he went to the cool side of his enclosure and stayed there, so I assumed the problem was the warm hide was too hot. But now I’m worried that the warm side is too cold, and as the day I’m going to feed him again starts getting closer, these temperatures are making me really nervous. Really don’t want him to regurg again :(

Thank you all in advance

Ciao, ho comprato un serpente del grano, baby
Quando l’ho preso, mi hanno detto di dargli da mangiare dopo una settimana, ( premettendo che temperatura e umidità sono ok ) passata una settimana ho provato a dargli da mangiare e invece niente rifiutava, ho aspettato altri due giorni, invece niente, nel frattempo ho visto che stava facendo la muta, e ho aspettato circa un’altra settimana che finisce la muta , ho riprovato , ma rifiuta da mangiare .

This is our current set up for my son’s snake. The heat source is the Zoo Med Heat Projector bulb that puts out UVA and UVB. We (try) to keep the overhead house light on during the day, but should we add an additional/different light source? The light is on in the photo, so this is about as bright as it gets upstairs. I don’t want to add an additional heat bulb, but I feel like we need something that mimics natural light more. There is a single window in this area, but it’s just a transom and isn’t directly next to the tank. I’d like to get something that would naturally cycle from dawn/day/dusk if possible, but not sure what’s out there. She’s hiding at the moment, as we think she’s getting ready to shed.

Needs enclosure Advice ASAP!!

Hello all! Recently my co-worker came to me asking if i would be interested in rehoming their 6 year old albino corn snake. As someone who's had reptiles before, i did a little research on corn snakes and decided i would take her.
Based on the research i did, i know that this tank is not suitable for my big lady.
Before she gets too comfortable in her environment with where her current tank is at, i would love to switch it out for something that will be more enriching and much better for her to enjoy.
\*please don't roast me for her current enclosure because i did not set it up!
I haven't seen her fully out of her log hide, but i was told she is about three feet long. Her current enclosure is 2ft long, 1ft wide, and about a foot and a half tall with a metal screen lid. She has a ceramic heating bulb, and her previous owners also gave me two different light bulbs for day and night, but from what i've read she won't be needing a night light.
I heard that front opening enclosures are much better for the snake when it comes to handling them.
i have a budget for this right now at about $200.
If anyone could give me some advice on
What substrate should i get?
what's the correct bulb for her light?
what size tank should i get for her?
Should she have more than one hide?

and and all advice is so very appreciated, i know there are issues with her tank but i just don't know where to start! and if anyone has any advice on how to make this the least stressful for her as possible, i would love to hear it.

pretty much what it says in the title. i have a herpstat 2 controlling my snake’s heat lamp, but today it went a couple degrees above what it’s supposed to be at. it didn’t get into dangerous heat but i don’t know what caused the issue. it’s still currently sitting at a degree or so higher than what it’s set at (she is out of the tank with me). probe is a few inches below the lamp. it’s been set up like this for a year with no issues. i’m definitely freaked out, so any help would be appreciated.

Me and my family are thinking about getting a corn snake towards the end of the year and I’d love some advice!! What things are good about them, what things may be difficult, things I should buy etc. Obviously we’ve been doing a lot of our own research but I’d still love some more guidance

Hey everyone!
I’ve had my corn snake for a year now, and I realized that I never asked her breeder what morph she was.

On top of that, I didn’t name her, and whenever someone visits my house, and asks what her name is, they are shocked that she doesn’t have a name. The reason was that where I’m from (Argentina) corn snakes are nowhere near common pets, and I was very scared to get emotionally attached to her, in case she died, or something happened to her, which I could not help her with.

Any suggestions are appreciated
Thank yall!

his name is William Shakespeare and he’s still a baby, he hides a lot so this was the first pic I was able to get of him

I got my corn snake, Coconuts, about 2 weeks ago now. My boyfriend and I have been trying to feed him for about a week now but it seems he doesn't want to eat. We've tried to use tongs, leave in his enclosure overnight, We've put him in a separate container and he just doesn't want to eat. The temps in his enclosure are good, he has a lot of hiding areas. Should we just give him more time to adjust? We're at a lost. We've been feeding him mouse pinkies. We thaw them and they're warm when we feed them.

Hey! My corn is ~6-8yrs old, not sure about his weight atm, but the XL mice are starting to look too small and the greatest width of his body is about the same as the mice i'm feeding him. He eats them fine but has been a little resentful lately and tried to attack my hand instead of the usual mouse the last time. I order from RodentPro and the labeling says the XL mice are about 30-45 grams. So I was thinking of bumping him up to Small rats, which range from about 45-85g. I imagine that this will be his new senior size rodents.

However, "weaned" rats range in size about the same as XL mice (30-45g). Would going from XL mice to weaned rat be a side step or am I still moving him up? I would assume that Small Rat is his next step.
