#corn snakes
Made a little trip to get some hides for his quarantine enclosure (he had hides before, but cardboard boxes, you know?) and so he was handled a bit while I cleaned out the cage and made it all pretty. As a reward he tried to bite me, like, six times, and you’re coming perilously close to being named Mister Bitey, sir
And he shed too. Ain’t spring grand?
I’ve officially had Thrice for a month! We’re on a schedule of feeding once a week and handling twice a week. He’s gotten so much more confident that not only does he stay on top of his substrate more often than burrowed now, he’s been on top of his vine all afternoon. There’s been no bites for the past two weeks but he’ll still strike if I move too fast but he’s calming down really fast. He drinks, he eats, he poops, he sheds! I think he’s going to be a happy and healthy corn snake.
Of course his favorite spot is on top of the cardboard box
My baby’s first shed!
Thrice is not the most photogenic danger noodle, but he’s still pretty!
Guess who just woke up!
I’m a simple snake keeper - I see my baby’s snoot and my heart is filled with love and reassurance
Meet Thrice! He is, according to the breeder, one of the more, uh, spunky of their corn snakes. Which definitely made sense when I held him, because he immediately bit me three times - hence his name!
He’s a little over a month old, has stem 4 times and they’ve been feeding him live and hopefully he’ll take to frozen thawed, but with how willing he is to stab at anything that moves I don’t think it’ll be difficult to do.
For now he’s super buried somewhere in the tank and I’ll leave him alone for the next few days unless it’s to change his water. Again, is anyone has any advice or tips for a newbie snake keeper, please feel free to give them!
Mayonnaise surprised me with this lovely little clutch! I thought she was still a few weeks out but she apparently elected to skip a pre-lay shed. Well done, May!
Handful of criminal
I maded dees.
FINALLY.
Hatshepsut didn’t like her new lay box and refused to use it, so I turned a drawer on my hatchling grow-out rack into a lay box instead. She’s used this size box before and I know she likes them. She dove in and almost immediately laid a single good egg and a single slug three days ago, but then shifted gears and started to focus on nesting instead.
Today she finally decided that her nest was ready and started laying in earnest.
Now I know for next time. Pharaoh gets a queen-sized birthing suite and nothing less.
Isis, baby, no.
I went out of town this past weekend so of course Morse laid her clutch the moment I left. These slightly dry but otherwise very lovely eggs should plump up in the warm humidity of the incubator.
Sneggwatch 2022 has commenced!
Just a little Hello from Snedward!
Bruce’s new 4ft set up!
I’ve switched him to a ceramic heater because they are ment to last longer and be a lot safer, it also doesn’t produce light I’m hoping it will be less disruptive for him at night time
It has Wood chipping on one side and coco fibre on the other to keep things more interesting. no new stuff inside but I will hopefully be getting him more soon!
He seems to be liking it so far after he got over the confusion of being in a new place. He now seems to think his life goal is to knock over as much stuff in it as possible

I swear to all the gods that I’m going to have a conniption if I somehow end up with fertile partho clutches this year
I don’t want or need baby Jesus snakes
…. okay, but if I do get viable eggs out of these clutches I’m going to be naming them after clones from Star Wars
