Care of Snakes

if you can not provide mice, you can feed it about three small worms twice weekly. how much it will eat depends on the temperature it is stored in.

yes

The dirt will compact over time and poor maintenance. I find this procdure works: drag it flat and even, then soak it with water until it is wet several inches down, this may take several applications depending on how hard it is. Now wait until it becomes just damp ( the dirt is workable when damp but not soaked )and using a drag with 3" spikes ( a 12x12 piece of wood works) break up the dirt by dragging it over and over until you have a uniform 3" loose soil distribution over the whole area and drag it again ( with a normal drag mat )until smooth and wet it normally. try to keep the infield from drying out completely from now on. Soil conditionor, or field topping can be used to help also.

no it is better to feed it baby mice.Because without any bones to eat it will those calcium.

A mouse has all the right nutrients for your baby Corn.

usually either the snake is sick or the food is too big for it to either swallow or digest

In captivity, a corn snake will eat mice or rats. In the wild, a corn snake will eat anything it can find, such as birds, lizards, bats, or frogs.

Very possible! If you feed your snake live mice. I would suggest feeding them dead and just freeze them, I hope the little guy is ok :D Hope this helps!

Depending on the severity of the dehydration, taking the snake to a vet may be required. Most snakes though, if the dehydration is not too severe, will readily drink water when thirsty, so just offering water will be enough if it's VERY mildly dehydrated. If in doubt though, or if the snake is too weak, it needs to be taken to an exotic animal vet.

Mice and rats.

If you need to bathe the snake (for example to aid in shedding) - the water should be warm to your touch - If it feels too hot to you (or too cold) - you need to adjust the temperature.

No, the poison is injected with the fangs of the snake. No. They use their fangs. What else would the fangs be for?

The forked tongue is used to smell. When they stick their tongues out, they are collecting scent molecules on the ends of the fork. Then, they draw their tongues back in and put them in special pits in the roof of their mouth. These pits act like our noses do, and detect what kinds of molecules and how many of them there are on the tongue.

The fangs are hollow and connected to venom sacks near the eyes of the snake. When a snake bites something, it uses the muscles around the venom sacks to pump the venom through its fangs and into whatever it bites. This is if the snake is poisonous. If the snake is a constrictor, then it just squeezes tighter and tighter until whatever it is squeezing cannot breathe any more and dies.

Assuming you meant 'what does a gopher snake look like - see the picture from Wikipedia in the related link !

Not being fed correctly, wrong temps and humidity, handling roughly, no water, wrong substrate (bedding), no hides are just a few ways corn snakes can be treated badly.

Depending on the order of the banding - either a king snake or a coral snake.

The red pipe snake, also known as the red-bellied snake, typically features a striking appearance with a glossy, bright red or orange belly and a dark, often black or brown, dorsal side. These snakes have a slender, elongated body that can reach lengths of up to three feet. Their smooth scales and distinct coloration make them easily recognizable, and they are often found in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite their vivid colors, they are non-venomous and generally harmless to humans.
