I just got my first Red Tail Hog Island cross today.She is fat and very alert. We named her Josephine. I have 8 other snakes in the house. But, she is my first large snake. I am very excited to watch her grow. My other half is scared to death of my pets. Any tips of how to get him over it? I wish he shared my love for reptiles.

We have three: a tricolor female, a tangerine male, and an albino female. They are all only a few months old. The albino was only added last week and she is very bitey around feeding time. We keep all three in a 30 gal and have not had any issues thus far. As a matter of fact they like to den together. We use coconut bedding atop calisand. We also have a little tupperware dish with moistened terrarium grass and they love to hide in it. It was what helped out tri female with her first shed. All of them are albout 20-25" in length and are comfortably eating a pinky and fuzzy or two fuzzies each week (although they are starting to hunt for more). Overall they are great!

you shouldnt keep them together because if one of them goes through a growth spert and gets bigger tan the other two it will eat them

My Albino Red Rat Snake,Alby, has been healthy for 2 weeks, which is as long as I've had him. We lost him in our house for a week and we found him only to be introduced by Cleo, the baby Columbian Red-Tail Boa. Alby was really mad when we found him, but I held him and thought he'd be okay. Today however, when I picked him up, he had a dent that went from one side of his body to under him and it was caved half-way in. He was also harder than usual. This started freaking me outl I thought it was of dehydration, but Alby had plenty of water and was resting in it for an hour yesterday AND today. Please tell me what's wrong with my little Alby.

@Above,
I forgot to mention that he was hurt AFTER he was found, I don't know how. Like, when I found him, perfect condition, day later, bump.

Hi I just got my baby albino yesterday and was just wondering that when I try to get him out he keeps striking should I still pick him out after he has done this to tame him down,?

Yes, I have one myself and he got out and was lost for a week. We found him behind the file cabinet right after we got a new Columbian Redtail Boa, anyways. My snake was striking and shaking his tail like a Rattle Snake. I was scared, but they have no teeth and are really small when babies. I tamed mine pretty quick. If he continues doing this, pick him up with a paper towel to tame him more efficiently. Hope you enjoy you Albino Red Rat Snake! :)

What does it mean when a snake makes a sneezing sound? Does it mean they are hissing and angry? My snake Pinky always makes sounds like that and I don't know what it means.

I do not know..........
Mikayla - 2012-01-03
Well it depends. Sometimes their angry and they try striking your hand and they make a sort of sneezing sound. Sometimes it's just plain sneezing. If you could send some sort of video somewhere sometime,maybe I could figure it out. BTW I think the name Pinky is really cute,since they eat Pinky mice and things ;)
Graham Marshall - 2012-01-03
If it's sneezing often, then it can be down to respiratory problems, you need to check the humidity of your setup, because you may be giving him a cold, if he continues, or he looks like there's any discharge from his nose mouth or eyes, then you need to get him checked out by a vet.

I've never thought that I would have a snake in my house as a pet. But I've had my snake for 2 days lol and I love it! My 1st one! Still learning on how to care for it and all, haven't touched it yet. Baby steps! If anyone can give me any pointers on things I shoul do, how to pick it up without him biting me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

I found my snow corn snake while visting a mate at night. I almost dismissed it as a stick, I passed it, then walked back and it made a break for it! I caught the little bugger and took it home. The wife and I both fell in love with it straight away (me a little more!). We own lizards (beardies) 5 of them, but never a snake. We've done lots of reading up on them but are still not 100% confident! Think it's a boy and he's never warm! He was 10" long so still young, but after 2 day's he ate 2 small pinkies so I know he is happy enough. Hasn't got his own viv yet but he's in a large rodent tank inside a LARGE viv (controlled heat & light & separate thermometer). Waiting for his viv to be built! Any advise would be greatly apprecated. thanks

This may seem rude but i was just wondering when you posted this and where you found it. I know it sounds odd and probably rude. I just lost my snow corn snake earlier this month he's about the same length you discribed. I've been googling and looking on different sites trying to figure out where he might be. I really hope you don't think me rude I'm just desparate to find him. If you could reply even if I'm completely mistaken(which I probably am) that would be absolutely amazing. My email is Ryder_azazel@hotmail.com please and thank you.

I can remember when my corn snake was a baby now she's huge! She can eat 2 big mice now! :D

could be yours, snow corns are extremely rare to find in the wild. it most likely is a captive escaped.
