Care of Snakes

No, some snakes will accidently eat some of the dust when swallowing the mice or what ever the food is and over time it can cause a blockage and some serious problems. The best is to get the carpet

Snakes belly scales are called stomach scales

it all depends, just like any animal it need proper attention from cage cleaning to handling and feeding. I would recommend trying to learn a little about owning them as a pet so you know its feeding times and how to handle/care for it. Remember they do tend to get very large so you have to be prepared for that as well and know it eventually will happen and you need to be able to accommodate for that. Just a tip never hold a snake during its shedding period they tend to have blurry eyesight from this and may end up biting you by mistake also i wouldn't recommend handling it after feeding.

They don't 'give birth' - they lay eggs - about 60 days after mating. The eggs take a further 60 days to hatch.

It's rare to have a snake shed that quickly - unless it's under a year old. Most young snakes (up to 2 years old) will shed every 8-10 weeks, as they're growing fast. Adult snakes can go more than a year between shedding.

Snakes generally strike very fast and let go, so it is not terribly painful with a small snake like a corn snake, probably similar to a paper cut.

Corn snakes , although docile , can bite. they dont have fangs , just a few very tiny teeth . and it doesnt hurt , just a few pricks

When a snake sheds its skin, you will first see little flakes of it come off, when you see this make the surroundings slightly more humid and give your snake fresh water daily and a place to hide.Then eventually, the snake will rub its skin off on rocks or anything else it can find, then the skin should come off in one whole piece.If not then your snake might not be so healthy...hope this helped XD

no a corn snake contains no venom what so ever :)

yes

Pampiress-
I power feed my snakes. I have a 3 foot Ball Python, a 5 foot Ball Python, and a 12 foot Burmese Python. With our two Balls, we feed once a month usually (unless cash flow lets us feed weekly) and they do fine with it. We feed the 3 foot either 4 small white mice or one medium rat. The 5 foot, we feed her either 6 small whites or two medium rats. Our 12 foot, we feed either 5 extra large rats or three rabbits. Although it is safe to power feed a Burmese, it is not advisable. They will go into a feeding frenzy. They will eat as long as you are putting food in with them. They will over gorge themselves, for they have no stopping sense when it comes to eating. They will eat even if they are not hungry.

Actually, yes, there are some snakes who eats crickets. There are many snake breeds who are too small to even eat pinkie mice, so crickets are another good way for snakes to get nourishment and not starve.

A few of these snakes include:

Green Whip Snakes (Who also eat other small insects)

Several species of Shovel Nose Snakes

Green Grass Snakes

As well as Northern Brown Snakes, but I do not know if they can be have as pets.

The average is around 66 inches (1.67 m) but there are always exceptions.

have u checked the cage? If not try looking in small dark places i have a Bearded dragon and he likes to be in small dark places he will dig under is log and stay there and he will curl up in my hand. Have good luck finding your lizard

Yes.

Ball pythons eat several different things when they are in the wild. They will eat other snakes, birds, lizards, and small animals.

To discourage them from taking up residence on your property, start by eliminating their desired environments. Make sure your lawn is mowed and not overgrown with high weeds. Cut back overgrowth. Keep log piles and compost heaps a safe distance from your house. Use wire mesh fences at ground level around crawl spaces or your garden to keep snakes out of those places. Reducing the rodent population which is their main food supply will also send them elsewhere to eat. If you still find one slithering across your lawn, call the local Animal Control people to come remove it from your property.

Corn snakes belong to the Phylum Chordata, Sub-Phylum Vertebrata, Class Reptilia, Order Squamata.

If you would like me to go further I would. There is a sub-order of Serpentines, then Family Colubridae, Genus Elaphe, and finally, Species E. Guttata. [the E. for elaphe. it is binomial nomenclature, when giving the species or scientific name of an animal, usually the genus is given along with the species, and sometimes the genus is abbreviated.]

The average age is 18-22 years, although there are always exceptions.

only if there very hungrey

This is not true. Corn snakes are far from cannibalistic, unlike king snakes. If the cage is too small however, they will become stressed. Stress also stems from the snakes being very different in size.

Yes,Corn Snake can eat snake food and also other sorts of animals. All of this will keep your snake healthy!

I don't know very much, but i know they do not look like there parents. Well that's what i heard!

the rare Ethiopian corn-snake-eating hawk.

It depends on the length of time and time of year.

Snakes have a natural cycle of estivation, which is similar to hibernation, so their appetite changes.

Also certain snakes will only eat living, moving or warm animals so try to feed it different types of rodents. I used to feed a snake at the zoo who loved eating baby mice and refused to eat dwarf hamsters, so we had to special order the mice for him and he began to eat again.

*If you are truly worried then take it to a vet

To tell if the snake is a male or female, you can look at some external features or sex it. Usually the spurs near the vent are longer in males, and the tail is also longer in males. Also, you can use either the probing method or the popping method of sexing. With the probing, the snake should be about a year old in order for the measurement to be accurate, the probe will go in about 4 scales for females, and about 9 for male. For the popping method, you will have to squeeze the cloaca or the hemipenes out from the vent. If hemipenes appear, a small protrusion, then it is a boy, and if a whitish bulb appears, the cloaca, it is a girl.

if there is a domestic snake then it could be nice domestic means its a house pet
