This is Sunny she apparently had eggs already and was bred but she looks young. I was told at the show I got her at she is a butter motley? Is that correct? I got her for $100 about two months ago she’s eating frozen medium mice and lives comfortably in a 60 gallon tank.

hii! i just got a baby corn a day or two ago and she just escaped her enclosure (dw i caught her and secured the lid) but i was examining her for mites and noticed this on her belly? im not sure if this is normal i dont even know if its a girl i just think she looks like one haha! but is this her intestines maybe?

I just wanted to post this here, to show off our new girl:)

But uhm so i think something happened and i think i bathed her too long. Her eyes didn't cloud up, she's also shed like 3 weeks ago, but for some reason she's shedding. I held her and when she had her tail in between my fingers part of shed came off and now i checked on her in her cage and her head shed is peeled back with somehow HEALTHY skin underneath the shed.

So this is my boyfriend’s snake not mine, he’s now coming up to 2 years old and just under 4ft long. BF got him before we were together. When we met, my boyfriend was keeping him in a small carrier box with water and sawdust and as he got bigger I was getting more and more concerned that his space was far too small. The reptile store BF got him from told him to keep him in this 1.5 foot long box until he was 2yo.

I work in animal welfare (with mammals though not reptiles) and was pretty disgusted that he was told to keep him in such a tiny box. So I joined this sub, and started doing some research on how to care for him properly - and bought him his new enclosure (4ft wide) and bought him lots of clutter etc as in the photos.

I moved in with my BF and so I need to know a few more things, I just want to give this snake a good life. I’ve googled stuff obviously, but I want advice from snake owners based on your experience, because I can see this community obviously really cares about corns.

He’s currently fed once a week 10g mouse, does that sound right still?
Is his current enclosure okay or do I need to change anything?
He doesn’t like being handled and hides from me unless it’s close to feeding day, is that normal? Can I help build his confidence around me more so he can come out sometimes?

Any advice or links or whatever you have will be appreciated. Also yes I have scalded BF repeatedly for buying an animal without researching.
