r/cornsnakes

Everyone say hello to Gimli. Name came from him being red and burrowing a lot at first (like a red bearded dwarf in a mine).
I’m curious what names you all have come up with for your corn snakes.

I mostly just need to know if he can live comfortably and happily with his neck like this. It’s a pretty bad kink :( he’s the sweetest little guy and seems to move around okay but i’m not sure he’ll be able to eat with his spine like that

euthanize or is it possible i can give him away to someone knowledgable and they can give him a good life?

Creamsicle is very much an out and about snake. She has three options for hides and uses the purple hide usually mid day and at night. She’s an active girly. I don’t get it. She’s supposed to like hiding.

Also I got a new thing to put the isopod food in because creamsicle is an adventurer. Melted a plastic Fiji water bottle into a shape she can’t get into. Let it harden and cure. Ta da. They’re safe.

My lad is currently about 16 months and on a small mouse every 8 days. He had gone through a skinny stage where he put length on but recently seems to have put a lot of weight on. I've included his weight/length graph in images. He's sitting at 130g at the moment. Last previous measurements were 106g and 84cm on 24/07. He constantly searches for food, pops his head out whenever im nearby. Am I feeding too much or not enough?

her first feed :]

Hi. I'm new here and in the snake game :p

My niece wanted to ged rid of her snake so I took her (she's a lady) but she was in the sad, way to small plastic box with bare minimum so I got to work and few days ago I finished my first enclosure. There is a heating lamp with UVA paired with Habitat classic pro thermostat , UVB 5% halogen lamp and led strip. Gravitational ventilation. And I would like to know your opinion what you think about it. And my temps on the cold side are no less than 25°C usually 26°C during the day, when the heat lamp is working is that ok should I do something about it?

I have no idea why she’s gotten so headstrong in the last couple hours but for some reason, starting roughly an hour after I came home, she began desperately trying to find gaps in her tank to escape. I got her tank second hand and the previous owner made it and the lid himself, and there is a small area with a gap along one side of the tank/lid. At first I wasn’t worried because she checked along the rest of the top with no success and I didn’t think she would have much luck with the part with the gap since even if she got her head out she wouldn’t be able to fit through. However, once she discovered the gap it became her mission to find a way out through there. The reason there’s a gap is to fit cords through that lead directly down to the same corner of the gap which has a large water bowl. She’s fallen into the bowl multiple times and still comes back to try to escape again, and now she’s also knocking over the water filter causing it to leak water out of the bowl.

I don’t know why she’s trying to adamantly to escape. She’s been very content so far, and even up until a couple days ago she was spending all day in one of her hides to shed. I’m not sure the exact gallons but it’s a very large tank with plenty of room as well as a lot of substrate and plants. Am I doing something wrong? How can I stop her from trying to escape?

(Video is of the part of the tank with the gap - I have since used a folded paper bag to block the hole, but I still don’t know why she’s tryna escape)

I rehomed this corn snake from someone. They said they were feeding it large mice (frozen & thawed out) once per week. Since I've had him, approx 3.5 months, he has only ate 2 times. Once 1 week after I received him, and then once mid June. I've researched & tried every method of how to thaw and feed the mouse and he just won't eat. Does anyone have any advice?

He comes out of his hide every day and goes around his tank, making tunnels and climbing but just won't seem to eat.

This is my one year old male cornsnake paedyn, I belive he’s about one year old now and I’m just wondering if he looks okay for his age? I worry he should be bigger, I feed him one pinky mouse a week and he sheds about once a month

My little D'arce here just arrived. Any advice for keeping her early on? She's five months old so I expect her to be quite shy but I'm more curious about lighting, heat, humidity and the such. I live in Ireland so it can get quite cold. Like, -5°C in the winter. Any advice is welcome!

I ended up with some corn snake eggs and now have 5 hatchlings to feed. I know they’re gonna need some pretty tiny prey, i’m thinking day old mice?

does anyone have recommendations on where i can get some without having to buy 100 😭

a few pics of (some of) the babies! and their beautiful mama!

Got her in May and was labeled palmetto snow, but she seems to look like a blizzard from what I see. She was only a few weeks old when we got her, but hasn’t developed any sort of pattern at all. I’d be happy with either

The tank is a 20 gal (30" x 12" x 12"). We'll get a bigger one when he outgrows it :) he's a baby anerys and just crawled out of the Tupperware into the tank and has disappeared haha

Any advice/critique is appreciated :)

We got Gooey about two months ago. She’s a big girl, well over 150cm and a bit overweight. We were told she’s between 6-8 years old.

For the first few weeks, we had her in her old viv and we saw on our infrared camera that she often explored her enclosure at night once she’d settled in.

About 3-4 weeks ago, we moved her into a bigger enclosure and at first she seemed happy to explore her new space. She’s since shed successfully and has eaten just fine, but she just never comes out of her hide anymore, even at night.

During the day, she’ll sit at the entrance of her hide and peek out, but she’ll rarely come out at all.

The new enclosure is in a busier room, and I’m unsure if it gets completely dark at night as we don’t have proper curtains. Could this be the issue?

Gooey is my first snake, so I’m a bit anxious we’re doing something wrong. Any advice or guidance on this?

Mituna's meal upgrade! I love him so much
