I had to get rid of my little corn snake because I fed him wrong and made him vicious

I thought it was entertaining to wiggle his food by the tail inside the vivarium, because he launched at it and coiled it up. Turns out this was a mistake, since it thought it was dinner time whenever my hand went in.

Give me a gecko over a snake anyday...

Snakes just seem to sit there all do and do fuck all. I know a few people who have them including someone who insisted on showing me their "hot" room - i.e full of venomous snakes covered by the DWA it just left me feeling cold.

No different to keeping tropical fish I suppose; except less work.

Must admit that Royal python would make a cracking belt.

Not sure about feeding live to the hognose as they don't constrict and their natural prey are amphibians so they have rear fangs and venom that is designed to pierce the skin, problem is they have very little affect on mice, i watched a video of a hognose eating a live mouse and it was chewing on it for ages and wacking it about and it still looked like the mouse was alive while it was swallowed

i was tempted to try getting a frog and scenting the mouse with it if it goes on much longer but don't want to get it hooked on toad not thought about the fish idea, any specific fish ? and do you just go to the pet shop to "buy a fish for, y'know the kids"

Call me a traditionalist but i prefer a dog that says hello and means it, rather than, hmmm food from a snake.

Snakes aren't thick, and regular handling means they no the difference between food and something that's not a threat. Their food isn't going to pick them up. Mine are handled for 20 mins each unless they have fed,are in shed and 24 hours after they have eaten.

Paul my big python happily sits on your shoulder, the others like to use me as a heat mat. They won't greet you at the door, but they will come and see why your next to their rub.

We've got a new reptile shop in town that only opened just over a month ago. Popped in with the wife to see what was what and got to handle a beautiful Baird's Rat Snake. He wasn't anything striking with his colouring, but his overall look is great to my mind. Although we were told he could be a bit grumpy and to not let him get too close to our faces.

After erming and ahing about getting him then deciding I couldn't quite afford a snake and full set up at that time, my wife decided that she'd like to get a baby corn snake, as she's always wanted one, so we ended up going back for one for her.

https://i.imgur.com/NhiT9yd.jpg?1
Her (going on best information, but possibly subject to change) name is Tia. We've had her for about 4 weeks now, she's feeding well, and we feed her in the tub we brought her home in so she hopefully won't mistake our fingers for food when we get her out. She comes out to be handled most nights, unless she's fed in the last day or two. All we're waiting on now is for her first shed.

We call back in to the reptile shop most weeks to have a chat with the owner, ask questions and let them know how Tia is getting on, and every time I walk in, the Baird's Rat sticks his head up as if to say hello. Today I called in on the way to Wilkos to buy some homebrew kit, and got to handle the Baird's Rat Snake again. He settled himself across my shoulders and sat there happily for about 10 minutes, so I said sod it and have reserved him pending full funds. Just got to measure up the alcove for his custom viv and put my order in. I shall name him Rat.

[Marcg868]

Corns are lovely little snakes. Only been bit once by our snakes and that was a corn who was in shed. So he was a bit grumpy. I highly recommend Royal Pythonsalso. They ddon't get too huge, slightly shorter than a adult corn snake butfatter.

EExtremely docile.

What's been tried to get the non-eating hog going again? Moreover, how old is he? Someone I know (who I got my little corn Fergus from) has a 2-3 year old who went the better part of a year with no food and then one day just started again. My own little CB13 man went about 3 months and then decided he was just going to start again.

Here's a pic of Dave perusing the flowers last summer:

So, if we're showing off our snakes, lets get some setup pics going too My two babies are in RUBs at the moment as they're both far too small for vivs, but I gave each of them a little custom build in the back to act as a bit of a shedding aid.

https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1.0-9/971329_10151753545451061_1569207843_n.jpg

Dave the Royal lives in a vivarium in our lounge. He's very much a display piece and I love seeing him out and about, usually doing a GTP impression as he dangles down from the branch I've got rigged up in the roof of the viv. His viv was specifically designed as a bit of a jungle ruin with lots of artificial plants.
