Hello All, I have had Tallie (used to be Talliesin, but discovered later he was a she!) since she was but a wee little snake no more than 5 inches long. I have never had a problem with attitude, striking, musking, any of those termperament problems I read about all the time with snakes, but the last few months, 3 or 4 to be exact, she has repeatedly pooped on me when I hold her and last week...

I havn't heard him do this before but just a few minutes ago I got him out to handle and he kept squeezing, but it almost sounded like a wheeze? I don't know why he was doing this but it seemed to be when I pulled him away from going somewhere, then when I put him back In his viv he was squeeking like crazy! But he shut up after a few seconds. Do snakes make sounds? Or is something ...

Well, I've had this snake for about 2 weeks now, and he's always been a calm nice little guy, I've fed him cleaned his tank held him the whole nine yards. But today he was sleeping as usual and I took his water bowl out and moved the hide boxes a bit and bumped into him a few times waking him up. I went and cleaned the water bowl, and then took him out for a few minutes and held him. He kept ...

This was the first time i ever seen her shed, oh, a great opportunity it was! I watched her go through the whole thing (1 hour) and then I went out of my way to get a pack of 6 LG pinkies. We measured the skin, and it was roughly 16 inches long. I've only had her 3 months now, and she has grown a lot! I always love to hold her right after she sheds, so smooth. I'm going to try to get a ...

i just got my cornsnake five days ago, and i have noticed that she does not come out of her hide cave at all during the daytime, as far as i know i know that they are nocturnal, but i am concerned is there something i can do to help her come out more? she is also housed in a basement, which tends to get pretty chilly i have a heat lamp and a heating pad on one side of her tank, but ...

I don't want to bother my snake (as I just bought her, and I want to leave her alone for 3 days), but how should I make sure that she's not lying ontop of the UTH? Will she move herself if it gets too hot? Oh, and I bought a timer for my UTH so that it will shut off when I want it to. Is this a good thing for the UTH? Or is there something better that I should get? Thanks.

haha either that or hes really ready for burmation. All he does is chill out in his hides and bury himself. Im sure hes just ready to go into burmation and cant be botherd exploring his tank. As usual hes fine and is eating like a beast. Hes been like this for at least 2 months. Probs more than that actually. I was wanting to ask a question as well about burmation. Can you put them ...

When I was young, I was carrying a snake just about wherever I went. As time went by I even developed preferences of (domestic, i.e. native North American) species based on friendliness when handling. So this seems kind of weird and difficult to put into words. As I have grown older, I enjoy watching them (and handling them), but find I have less time on my hands, and strangely(?) less ...

Is there anyone like me that never see their corn but when you wake up in the morning there traces of him around the viv?

My albino candy cane is a beauty, but she's trouble for sure... Lately she has been sun bathing in the leaves which is really cool to see her. The troubling part is, she's thinks of me as a toilet. I waited for two days and a half before holding her, and no problem. The next couple days I start holding her for a little bit longer, and yup, in five days she held it in and made a huge mess on my ...

Is this normal? O_O He was taking a really long nap and he woke up for a minute and I was watching him, he was flicking his tongue about and he was moving his jaw around I walked out of the room, and when I came back his mouth was open wide as could be for a second in what looked to be a yawn! I was like, Whoa. Is this normal?

I've mentioned before that Ruby will slink back to her viv after feeding. This time I managed to snap her on my phone. Also pic of her first ever defined constrict. She's made half-arsed attempts in the past but this time it was a total lunge and coil - brilliant! Regarding her return to the viv, she's started to do it whenever she's out for a roam around my desk, something she does daily ...

This is probally a stupid question but i was just thinking, do the parent snakes take care of the hatchlings or what. I have no clue
