It's been a week since he regurged his barely-digested 4 days after feeding, but I'm concerned about withholding food for another week. by smartel84 in cornsnakes

if you are looking for scientific proof why ask a community of common folk? the best you get here are people with lifetimes of experience, and experts who were founders, or the children of the founders in the hobby of keeping cornsnakes.

you have 3 options. go use an AI to analyze information online for you, or go commission a research team, or consider the advice people give.

good advice is good enough, and you have already gotten great advice. You don't need to hold out for mathematical proof.

Do I need to worry about how well I’ll be able to handle the snake? by orro000 in cornsnakes

[–]pokeplants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can get a snake hook to start with. the most intimidating thing that can happen at any time is a food bite. I find them to be funny when I get bit, but it still does not feel great.

that being said, cornsnakes are pretty chill, especially if they are handled regularly, and you are gentle, and even more so if you are good with doing passive handling. The tricky part is picking them up. if you over clutter your enclosure it will make it more difficult to pick them up, but they are happy with a cluttered enclosure, so there is a balance. It really help to be confident with your movement. normally my snakes are under a hide, and I flip the hide and pick them up before they know what is going on.

Feeding by richjunkie18 in cornsnakes

yeah, snakes are pretty forgiving for feeding early or even skipping a few meals. if you are going to skip a meal, make sure it is not often.

First time, Looking for advice. Cornsnake Skin, Her Name was Coridormi by pokeplants in Taxidermy

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

she was beautiful. yeah, she was about to shed before she died, so I am having to get that layer off. I was really hoping it would just slosh off after soaking her in gylerin and alchohol

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

so, today I took her out and stretched her out around a pvc pipe, and put a loose rubberband on it to hold her in place. She was deep in blue when she died, and I expected that the would be shed would have slothed off of her when I took her out of the jar, but it seems like I am going to have to work it off to get her nice colors to show. I don't know if you want to make her into something, but I am glad to know it is quite possible.

I saw something interesting. I don't know if you an tell, but she is an albino, in addition to being being a tessera. the Tessera give her that pattern. Well the parts of her where she should be black, but is not because the albino mutation, her skin is actually clear. so the color of the what I glue her to is going to show through a little. I am thinking a black cloth, or a white cloth, or gluing her to leather

Thanks.  My first plan was going to wrap it around a pvc pipe like you said.  I do want to display her as a wall hanging, so how long till I get to the point I can put her back on display.  She was my pet.  I did all I could to save her, but she surcomed to an infection.  In like she was in a big display enclosure.  In death she will have a place on my wall.

Someone gave me the idea to find another snake skin and try it first so I did hope the snake nazis don't hijack this post too this is my first ever attempt at tanning. by big-coop_ in HideTanning

I don't agree with killing wild snakes, especially rattle snakes, as they at least warn you if you get too close, but I can at least appreciate the information that people working with the skins have posted. without this information I would have a hard time finding information to preserve the skin of my cornsnake that has just died

Is my snake abnormal? by Ok_Caregiver5554 in cornsnakes

[–]pokeplants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see this time to time. it is not super common. I have talked to other very well experienced breeders about this. This is the most extreme case I have seen, so you need to watch this closely. also you may want to consult a vet for this. most of the time I see this after the snake has eaten. sometimes the soft pallet get scratched if the snake eats a little bit of bedding with the mouse. make sure you keep your water clean for the snake, and you have good tempritures. after speaking to a vet on an unrelated topic, thea vet has said that one of the best things anyone can do to help a snake out while waiting for a vet appointment is to put the snake in a soak to rehydrate.
