Care of Snakes

No, it's not venomous.

No ! If the snake regurgitated the mouse - the temperature of its vivarium need to be raised. The commonest cause of regurgitated food items - is incorrect temperature in the snakes enclosure !

Define 'cold' - if it has a 'runny nose' it's likely to be a respiratory infection - which should be treated by a vet !

A colored stick.

All snakes in the wild only eat alive rats or mice usually they wont even notice dead mice

You should feed your snake with alive mice to maintain the snake`s instinct for killing pray to eat

no python or boa is venomous they are constrictors

It is not dependant on it's mother at all.

When the mother has laid the eggs, it goes away and leaves the eggs to fend for themselves. The snakes have no further contact!

They may even meet and fight each other for territory!

No, it won't even try, but they will compete for space (no matter how big your cage is) and possibly transmit diseases to one another. They shouldn't be kept together for these reasons.

I've seen spotteds in communal cages (with corns, actually) that were perfectly healthy. As long as both are regularly checked by a vet (and are not carriers of diseases they [respectively] are immune to) and are kept in sterile conditions, it should be okay. Make sure that one does not outdo the other in size and that your cage is large enough so that competition is minimized.

No, absolutely not. Just throw them away and try feeding again in a week or two.

Keeping a diary of your snakes feeding schedule would be an ideal way of telling roughly when he is ready to eat again. This cuts down the amount of wasted 'food'. If you thaw, re-freeze and re-thaw food items you run the risk of bacteria buildup in addition to the food item partly decomposing.

Yes, but a licence is required to keep one as a pet.

A corn snake doesn't really need to count carbs. In fact, they probably don't need any at all. All they need is a mouse or rat every week or so (depending on their size), and they will be just fine. A snake is specifically adapted to getting all their nutritional requirements from their rodents.

King Snake.

Has to be the same species , same size, and must be fed separately. But even if those rules are followed a snake may refuse to eat just due to the fact that its space is being shared with another. And it is rare among some snakes to eat another snake, there are pictures that have proven otherwise. And everything seemed fine up until that point. Boa constrictors seem to be easier to house together from my experience working with reptiles.

You should have uploaded the picture to somewhere like Photobucket (which would be safer than revealing your email to strangers) - and provided a related link so we could see what it looks like.

Frogs, other snakes and small mammals - prey is killed by constriction.

I didn't know if there WAS such as thing as 'skin the snake relay' - HOWEVER - thanks to a bit of internet searching I came across this site that tells you what you need, and how to play !

See the related link... Enjoy !

From your description - it sounds like a California King Snake (non-venomous)

you probberly could but its not very natural for them. The best food for a corn is when they are fully grown is mice

Please do not feed your corn snake fish. When they are little they should be eating tiny pinkie mice, and as they grow you increase the size of the mouse.

It depends what you mean ! If you mean to put some tubes in the vivarium for the snake to use as hides - then there's no reason why not. If you mean to insert a tube down its throat in order to 'force' feed it - that should only be done by an experienced keeper as you could injure or kill the snake in the process !

Female: Lily, Baby, and Eve

Male: Oak, Slither, Chase, Cornflake, Monster, and Spots

Hope this helps!!

To me i think the western hog nose snake is better because it is smarter,the corn snake is better for beginners

Not at all ! The older a snake gets - the less frequent it will shed. My corn snakes only shed once a year, as they're almost fully grown. Yet - my Royal Python sheds every 4-5 months as he's only a couple of years old.

At least 48 inches long, by 18 inches deep and 24 inches high. As an adult of around six feet - it will need a vivarium at least half as big again.

Looking after a Milk Snake is like looking after the popular Corn snake.You will need to change their water every day. They need to be fed once a week-no more than 2 even when young and growing. The most popular form of food is the pinkie mouse. You can purchase these from your local reptile deeler. The size of the mouse determains on the size of your milk snake. Keep the mice in a freezer and leave to defrost for at least an hour befor feeding. Never put mice in warm water for a few minutes then feed, many people suggest this but it can be harmful as it may give them food posioning. It might be quicker but it isn't worth the risk. Their vivarium needs to be cleaned out once a month. The milk snake will be at risk of a skin disorder if it is left to late. The size of the vivarium depends on the size of the snake. (TIP. ask your local reptile deeler) But remember, if the cage is to big, your snake will get stressed and will stop eating. In the vivarium,place at least 2 hide outs and make sure there is a heat mat under the cage.
