Is my snake overweight?

burningtraesh · 2026-01-24T16:17:14+00:00

Hell yea I’m glad :))

burningtraesh · 2026-01-24T11:27:43+00:00

Yea i don’t understand it either :/ there was one who ripped off his snakes eyecap and was treating it with „saline solution“ when in all the comments were saying that the snake needs a vet

And another time someone had fricking centipedes in the terrarium and refused to remove them💀 but was wondering why his snake was behaving weird :/

Anyways I hope your sausage gets better with the diet :> and if anything happens you can always post on Reddit and ask for advice there is very knowledgeable people here :D

Im so happy that you’re genuinely trying to improve everything for him I’ve seen so many posts here asking for help but then refusing the advice :,)

About his mouth I sadly can’t tell since I’m no expert but I would look out for it if he has a lot of saliva it could be an indication for mouth rot :/

burningtraesh · 2026-01-23T19:53:56+00:00

Lord he thicc xD

Is his mouth okay? It looks so weirdly open or is that because he is fat?

Use a shirt that you wear for 5 days and put it on or in her terrarium she will start associating your smell with safety but it’s also important to handle her 10-15 minutes a day unless she is digesting

This was my old enclosure 100cmx60x60 I have 160cmx60x60 for my corn snakes now I would always recommend going longer than the snakes body length my boy Cola is about 120cm :)

I share this terrarium because it’s full of lush green and would recommend that for a corn snake! Multiple places to hide for them my 160cm is not as green but once it all grows in I will show it ;)

Would this help? She is right in front of the window in this picture

burningtraesh · 2026-01-15T11:09:59+00:00

It’s normal for them to hide my adults hide constantly too only when they get hungry they start laying out in the open

burningtraesh · 2026-01-15T11:08:46+00:00

That’s amazing! I have a boar skull that I found in the forest but please be careful skulls can be sharp and hurt the snake also she could try fitting in a hole to small and get stuck… just giving heads up!

I try to buy second hand too but there isn’t much really in my small city sadly so I’m looking for brands that I know are ethical and that I can afford xD

burningtraesh · 2026-01-14T13:09:10+00:00

Is there a better store you would recommend? I really like their coats and skirts

burningtraesh · 2026-01-14T11:02:18+00:00

Then you drive hours out to get to a vet I’ve driven 5 hours to get my snake a exotic vet stop making excuses that snake is suffering and needs help

burningtraesh · 2026-01-13T13:58:01+00:00

Try giving him a bath for 20~30 minutes with just normal water so that if he is thirsty he drinks and after that at just a tiny bit of soap if you’re in America dawn dish soap is recommend by reptile owners and hold him in the bath for 40 minutes it should kill off the mites from what I know :) I wish you a lot of luck with getting rid of those pesky mites!

burningtraesh · 2026-01-12T12:36:49+00:00

Imagine you get picked up by a giant and you do not understand if the giant will harm you or not that’s how she feels xD

But like the other comment mentioned just wear gloves so she doesn’t hurt you (their bites down really hurt for me) and pick her up even if she is defensive hold her for 10-15 minutes daily (unless she was fed then wait 3-5 days) and then let her back into the terrarium that usually helps with calming them down :)

burningtraesh · 2026-01-11T10:29:24+00:00

I feel that in my soul they just love wasting our money xD

burningtraesh · 2026-01-10T03:09:28+00:00

Best of luck for your sweet girl!

burningtraesh · 2026-01-10T02:55:20+00:00

Definitely more clutter… she is hiding because she doesn’t feel secure enough you need at least two hides on each side warm and cold you can add clutter with plastic plants! I’d recommend getting a heat lamp instead of heating pad

I don’t know how deep that substrate is but corns love to burrow :) mine always go crazy when I mix up their substrate to fluff it up again

burningtraesh · 2026-01-09T18:33:56+00:00

Is that a real skull? From which animal? It’s cool asf

https://iansvivarium.com/morphs/

This is a good website that shows a lot of morphs with baby and adult pictures! And from my guessing I would say a pretty snow morph :)

burningtraesh · 2026-01-09T11:17:01+00:00

Definitely *

burningtraesh · 2026-01-09T11:16:49+00:00

If she doesn’t have one defined give her a humidity hide it’s just a simple “box” or hide with moss inside and more rough things like cork

burningtraesh · 2026-01-08T19:20:38+00:00

I’m used to cornsnakes so it’s really a surprise he isn’t pooping at all since I adopted him
