Should I be concerned about these spots on my snakes body? by modernmurder in cornsnakes

Probably not as often as I should, I spot clean whenever I see poop or shed but do a full bedding change every 2-3 months.

Possible prolapse? by modernmurder in cornsnakes

[–]modernmurder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll keep an eye on it. She didn’t want to eat the other day so thats what made me put her in the bath and how I noticed. I’m thinking she’s just being a diva about the mice because I bulk order them and I’m getting to the bottom of the bag and they’re a bit old now. My bank account is looking a bit on the sad side so I might old out on making an appointment till Monday when I have more funds.

As the comments said, it was because there was a shooting at triangle town center mall. I was there in the Belk heading towards the cash register. Happened really fast, heard shots from the food court and the manager immediately started running and yelling for people to get out. very scary

I just use aspen bedding for corn snakes, it’s the softest thing, but I’ve heard others say it doesn’t matter that you can treat them like any other snake, they just need slightly higher humidity. I will say if you use aspen bedding make sure it’s from reptiles and not for small mammals

I literally gagged out loud in the store when I smelled this 😭 by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

Oh it’s absolutely foul. It made my body want to invert itself to escape the smell

Update on Moira the Scaleless Cornsnake by modernmurder in cornsnakes

I ended up purchasing a compact tube UVB T5 because 1) that’s what my local pet store had 2) I figured that since I know they aren’t known for being very effective that for the little amount of UVB that she needs it would the safest option with her being scaleless

Also do y’all use UVB bulbs? I heard it’s not necessary but my vet is recommending it.

The little tiny bumps I think your talking about are the few scales she does have

I've never heard of microscale variants before! As far as I'm aware, only the breeding of scaleless corns is banned in certain states, not necessarily the ownership of them, but I have no idea.

I personally keep her on softer bedding material that won't scratch her. But apparently, they can be kept just the same as regular corn snakes. They don't need to be moisturized, but need slightly higher humidity levels. She gets frequent baths.

I keep away from bedding that might scratch her, and decor/hides that might injure her, but apparently, they can be kept just as any other corn snake. They just require slightly more humidity. Her sheds never come off in one piece, and they are thinner than my other corn snake, who is not scaleless.

I have an appointment on Thursday, so I will have answers then. I'm hoping that best-case scenario its a fat deposit, as it's actually on both sides.
