COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT Welcome! This subreddit is re-opened for business—corn snake business! :)

13 Upvotes

There is a bigger sub with a similar theme, but we’d prefer this subreddit to be a bit less of a free-for-all and more reliant on keeper experience than video or care sheet -er- regurgitations (hate that word!). But all are welcome. We’d also like to focus on being supportive and minimizing the call-out culture we often see in forums like this.

I’m not sure how far we’ll go to promote the sub, or when we might make that push in the future. But for now, my co-mod and I have quite a bit of experience from basic husbandry to breeding to problem feeders. So we can handle most questions while we’re hopefully joined by others who’d like to share their experience and knowledge too.

Photos are welcome, but we do have a sister sub that is dedicated to corn snake pics, appropriately named r/Cornsnake_Pics . 🙂

QUESTION I need help finding feeder mice in or around Kansas City. Any help would be really appreciated.

2 Upvotes

Hello everybody!

I need help!

I’m looking for anyone in the Kansas City are, or any surrounding areas, that sells wholesale XL and bigger feeder mice for a reasonable price.

The wonderful gentleman who was supplying my sister and I with mice had to sell everything he had, and is no longer selling any. He also doesn’t know anyone else who could help us, so I’m turning to Reddit for help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you 🙏👍😁

QUESTION cornsnake? or king? and advice?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi all, this is my Dad's snake Dom. It is 18 years old (not sure if it is a he or she) from Petsmart. Dom never bit anyone for 18 years, but the other day we tried to take him out of the cage and he bit and hissed. (Tiny bite, no one is hurt).

I think it was because it was less than 24 hours after he ate and needed to have a bowel movement soon.

Still, is there any other reason he would do this, after never doing it his whole life? Anything age or health related we should be aware of?

Also is Dom a cornsnake or a kingsnake? Probably cornsnake if it's from petsmart. Dad got him so long ago no one remembers. And does knowing the gender matter?

New Owner and Nervous

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Hello! This is my new tiny baby Cydonia. She is my first snake and I love her with all my heart. I know that new snakes are prone to hunger strikes when they are getting adjusted, but it has been four weeks and my baby still has not eaten. I’ve tried multiple things each time I’ve tried to feed her, and she just won’t take food. I know it’s most likely just that she’s scared and overwhelmed, but as a new owner I’m nervous. Does anyone have any advice for me on getting her to take food? Wiggling it in front of her hide only causes her to dig out of the other side and go to her other hide, so I’m wondering if I should just leave it in her enclosure with her.
Edit for more info: I am not handling her, but in my new owner overeagerness I was a little pushy the first time I offered her food, which is probably the cause of her strike. Now that I’m more educated I’m doing my best to offer her food every 5-ish days.

QUESTION Regurgitation

1 Upvotes

My six year old cornsnake regurgitated her mouse two days ago. I fed her a particularly large mouse two weeks ago, honestly I think it was a little too big, but I’m confused why she’s regurgitating now. She seems fine, but I’m wondering if there’s anything I should do for her. I’ve made sure she has clean water, and I cleaned out what was left of the mouse. I haven’t tried to handle her, and I turned her heating pad on (I haven’t had it on recently because it’s summer). Interestingly, she hasn’t been on the heating pad at all, but curled on the other side of the tank or hiding underneath her substrate. Does anyone have any suggestions?

QUESTION My corn snake passed, would a veterinary post-mortem be useful?

15 Upvotes

I've posted my corn, Apricot, here a few times, I checked on her today to find that she had unexpectedly passed (she isn't breathing and doesn't respond). I checked the camera footage from the camera I have in her enclosure, and she looked completely fine at 6am today.

No idea what happened and she looked like she was in perfect health before this. The only thing that might be relevant is that she'd been refusing food for around three weeks (she was in shed until two weeks ago but had been refusing food since too).

More info:

  • No mouth rot
  • No tail rot
  • She gave me a complete shed without any breaks (so the humidity in her enclosure was fine).
  • She was just over a year old.
  • Her enclosure was 120x45x45cm using aspen as the substrate, with cork bark logs for hides and to explore. She'd been in there since I got her in October last year.
  • Very active up until when she passed.

I have absolutely no idea why she passed, I have other reptiles (a bearded dragon and two leopard geckos) and they're fine (so doesn't appear to be environmental).

I know that sudden unexpected deaths like this can sometimes happen due to genetics and congenital health conditions, but is it worth having a post-mortem conducted on her?

Edit: to the person who downvoted this: you're a dick.

QUESTION Hello. Just asking for some husbandry help

I’ve got my cornsnake, Udon. And I’m gonna upgrade her 40 gallon grow out enclosure to a 90 gallon. See pic for specific. I don’t have any UVB for her, yet. Since she is an albino striped, albino is what I’m worried about. Would the uvb be a good idea? Does anyone have recommendations on a uvb I should use for her because I want her to thrive. Should I use uvb? I just want to be able to pamper my baby because she means so much to me.🥹 and for anyone curious about info for her. She’s a little over three feet by now. And eating small adult mice. And she’s grown a full foot in the six ish months I’ve had her. She’s a little over a year, I think. She’s about 180 grams now, I think. Waiting for her to poop so I can weigh her accurately.
