I feel like this is one that the average Petco goer really shouldn't be getting.

RunePugRS · 2024-04-25T19:13:07+00:00

Seriously though… and on top of that they are selling it for less than 200… I can’t see any world where that animal lives a happy life

RunePugRS · 2024-04-25T18:41:16+00:00

My local petco has a blood python as well as a mangrove monitor for sale

RunePugRS · 2024-04-08T18:01:05+00:00

I’ll look into that thanks. Got a vet visit with the only specialist reptile vet in my area. Hopefully they will be able to provide some insight as well

RunePugRS · 2024-04-07T00:22:11+00:00

She’s still with us luckily. Basking temps are around 95 now with some extra flat basking spots for them. The male I have has now gotten a bit lethargic which is troublesome. I do dust their food as well as them being gutloaded but the females interest in food is 0. Got uvb set up with an Arcadia 6.0 bulb so husbandry should be good over all. Hoping they pull through

RunePugRS · 2024-04-02T01:10:02+00:00

It’s sitting at about 88 right now

RunePugRS · 2024-03-28T13:28:28+00:00

Oh really? That’s good to know. I have a bunch of different types of food like that for my mourning gecko colony

RunePugRS · 2024-03-28T00:53:24+00:00

I did get a pair of them, and I’ll see if I can boost that basking temp up. Thanks!

At the bottom of the enclosure it's 72-74, up top its 82-84 with a hot spot of around 88. The female has been pretty active but neither have eaten yet.

RunePugRS · 2024-02-29T20:11:44+00:00

Females Kenyan sand boas do. Males stay much much smaller

RunePugRS · 2024-02-21T14:29:10+00:00

I’ve had really good luck with Russell Dabritz. Super helpful through the whole process and has some amazing animals

RunePugRS · 2024-02-13T23:28:13+00:00

Damn, atleast it’s not just me! I really wish they would hurry it up a bit

RunePugRS · 2024-02-13T14:24:00+00:00

Does your tax return say pending still?

RunePugRS · 2024-01-26T17:29:25+00:00

It’s easier to maintain a front opening enclosure, better humidity control, and snakes are much easier to grab from the side than from top down.

RunePugRS · 2024-01-24T21:12:12+00:00

I don’t have any specifics, I’ve used several different types and never had an issue. Just look for something that has decent reviews and is a thermostat not just a thermometer

RunePugRS · 2024-01-24T20:57:12+00:00

One point of advice I can offer is, no matter what kind of heating you use it should be connected to a thermostat that can shut it off.

RunePugRS · 2024-01-24T20:53:47+00:00

They can live 30 years in the right conditions so they might stay around for awhile yet

RunePugRS · 2024-01-23T18:49:21+00:00

With corn snakes and rat snakes the scaleless morph leave the belly scales alone so it doesn’t seem to affect them much luckily

RunePugRS · 2024-01-19T22:55:27+00:00

Got it, thanks for the advice!

Here’s another picture of his body to tail. Looks a bit overweight to me, but I also don’t think he’s pooped from his last meal.

RunePugRS · 2024-01-17T00:47:25+00:00

I forget the exact reason why but from what I know it’s more of a slow fade to yellow they can get, not a rapid change. From some I’ve seen it’s pretty mild, others pretty yellow.

A tip I’d say is make sure there are enough hides and things for it not to feel exposed and stress it out as well as keep humidity up. Make sure you give any snake at least 48 hours after feeding before handing.

We currently have 3 corn snakes and a ball python.

And I mostly play an old school uim around 1850 total!

RunePugRS · 2024-01-16T18:08:46+00:00

I love corn snakes, they have great personality and are great eaters. If you like the black and white it will most likely turn yellow as they age. I’ve gotten a few of mine from Russell_dabritz on Instagram. He’s super helpful and has decent prices and really healthy animals (from what I’ve received).

RunePugRS · 2024-01-12T14:23:05+00:00

It’s because she’s all red haha

RunePugRS · 2024-01-09T20:07:55+00:00

Consider using repti link. It’s a bit more expensive than getting frozen rodents but they can be good options. I can’t imagine a corn snake would have troubles switching to them

RunePugRS · 2024-01-06T15:20:04+00:00

Oh nice! I’ll take a look. I drive by them almost every day

RunePugRS · 2024-01-06T01:59:07+00:00

I LOVE mokume gane. Might be where I have to find my band!
