I am around, just have to work most days

Actually I think there are more of them than people think. The problem is that "normal" people make fun of them and make them feel that their efforts are not worth while. We need to learn to appreciate and celebrate the compassionate people we run into instead of teasing them and maybe more of...

The great thing about reptiles is that they don't want anything, so get them things YOU want like new hides, live plants or maybe setting up a bioactive habitat. The reptile will benefit for sure but the real winner is you as you get something cool to play with and nice to look at

Many years ago, shortly after I married my wife she was very afraid of snakes and did not want me to have them. It was that oketee corn snake I mentioned that changed her mind. When I brought it home it was cut up and had broken ribs from the weed wacker, she only let me have it in the house...

Very easy to breed, there are really no special requirements. they were one of the first snakes I ever bred and I really didn't even try. I had two of them in the same tank and one day eggs showed up. The first was a wild caught Oketee that I had because someone tried to kill her with a weed...

Saying "just a corn snake" makes it sound ordinary. Corn snakes are really cool and that one is nice and big and very pretty. You will get a lot of enjoyment from it and you should be proud of it. Congrats on your first snake! I predict it won't be an only child for long:D

Very nice!

you could indeed. I used to get a lot of chicks and ducklings right after Easter (this was before I raising bird and my reptile collection was much bigger) people would buy them for their kids for Easter because they were cute and then not want to raise them, so I would get them for free and...

BTW, you can also feed many snakes day old chicks (older for bigger snakes) but this may not be the right forum to mention it

I do not recommend breeding mice. they stink and the an=mount of ammonia and other stuff the kick up into the air is hazardous to human health. If you had a really big collection of reptiles that required a lot of rodents to feed I would say it might be worth it but for just a couple I would...

Pretty much. They have a bit of egg yolk left usually so you don't have to feed immediately, some people wait until after their first shed. The really challenge is making sure you have a steady supply of day appropriate sized pinkies. depending on the species you could have 10-20 babies or...

It is not difficult. I have successfully incubated snake and lizard eggs in a small plastic tub with damp vermiculite and a heat pad. That requires attention to the temp and humidity and resisting the urge to open the thing up an mess with the eggs. A modern incubator makes it much easier as...

that would work if you want to spend $200. and, if you are only going to have one reptile of if you have the cash it is a good way to go. I personally find aquariums and even an exoterra (smaller than what you are looking there) for cheap at thrift stores or free on craigslist. the free ones...

Corn snakes are the best beginner snakes. They are very tame even when wild caught as adults,, they always eat well either live or frozen/ thawed, they are very tolerant of temperature and humidity errors (though you should still do your best to provide optimum set up) they come in a wide...

latches can fail or, more often people don't click them right. All of my tanks have weights on the tops. Snakes are stronger than people think but a couple of 10 pound flat plates keep all but the biggest snakes it. really big one need a different set up anyway.

Some arguments that will help you: 1. snakes (when mature) only need to eat once a month 2. that means they only poop once a month (very clean) 3. you can go on vacation and they do not need anyone to care for them while you are gone. 4. get a BIG snake, keep it where people can see it and, if...

Some pics

Just saw this but I am at work and don't have pics to post here. I have kept reptiles for decades. Only have a few right now. They are 3 carpet pythons, Male pure Darwin Albino, Female Jungle and Female Caramel Jaguar. A pair of albino Harquahala Rosy Boas, An amelanistic Corn Snake (Wife's) a...
