This should almost be titled ball python appreciation and information as the information and pictures cater to that species exclusively, or nearly exclusively from what I see. I would love to see a colubrid information and appreciation thread.

Yeah, if you take a look at the previous pages, I just recently converted it over from an exclusively ball python thread to a more generalized snake thread. Working on it. razz

Nope, that's totally fine. The middle snake looks more like a bamboo rat snake than a corn though, or maybe a corn hybrid. :3

Well rat snakes are very similar to corn snakes. Another name for corn snakes is actually "red rat snake", but it's rarely used. I really love bamboo rat snakes. They are so gorgeous!

Well the length of their bodies is all spine and they are pure muscle, so they are very bendy. :3 Most of my snakes can support the upper 2/3 of their body with the lower third. They are very fun pets to have!

Ha, except to those of us who tell your dirty little secret that it was a ball thread ;D


That is DEFINITELY what i'm doing then, the tub. I really like that. Here is what I use to control temperatures on my corn snake's tank, do you think that would suffice alright for use on the tote as well? I mean, I don't get to input what I don't want it to go over, it's just Low/Medium/High. I -really- want to make sure i'm not going to start a fire. That scares me like no other, the possibility. x.x;

But yeah, I never put him back in after biting. Usually when he bites it's when i'm taking him out, or trying to interact with him. Is it odd for me to have an irrational fear of him wanting to snap at my face? xD Actually too--he doesn't snap at just anything. He likes hands, and he likes hair brushes. He won't go at anything bigger than a hair brush. Why would this be? Previous owner said previous previous owner's children teased him with objects. Could that be it?

My goal is 15 minutes a day holding, or interacting out of the cage. But my question is--well with birds, if you don't mess with them a day because you're busy, you go backwards in everything just done. If I miss a day handling him, am I going to be headed backwards in what I do? I"m good so far. xD Just got home from work/was going to finish the last of my finals and then head upstairs after dinner (yay for husband cooking) and work with him.
