Hi is there anyone on here whos got corn snakes or knows anything about them need some help with mine.

Mine's with my brother, but I've had snakes for years. What's up Kyle?

Im just having problems getting him out,hes been use to me handling all the time, but the last few times ive tried to get him he just goes for me and tries to bite me and i sh@t myself everytime lol,but i know the bite doesnt hurt its more of a shock that he,s going to bite you.ive tryed with gloves towels and tryed to keep my hand nice and low but bolts and then goes for me.

Sounds like he's ready to shed. My corn snake and the boa were the same. He'll go dull next, then his eyes will cloud over and then a few days later go back to normal. Then you'll wake up to a skin in the viv and a shiny, hungry snake. My advice is don't try handling him until he has shed as they get stressed and grumpy.

If you need anything else, just ask mate.

ok thanks

my lizard did exactl the same, give it a day or so

Must be like a snake version of PMT!

give it a large water bowl so it can bathe and trap moisture between the old skin and the newly forming skin underneath.it does sound like its due to shed, has it been refusing food over the last week ? are its eyes going milky white?

When you go to get it out , try letting it come out to you instead of reaching into its viv. By reaching in you are creating a large image in its vision, causing it to stress out,

If it is due to shed your best leaving it alone till its done, then feed it up heavily to encourage it to become docile again, a well fed snake is far more docile

i have kept and bred many species of snake including cornsnakes for about 20 years

Just as an add on, make sure he has something rough to rub against so he can shed without any extra stress. Check the skin after too to make sure the eye caps have come off.

Mine have a bark tunnel, a yucca plant and a branch. All treated before the question is asked

a rough rock , viv wood. If u use a wood substrate often they will burrow through it to shed.

Well, what do you think?? Seriously.

i reckon guinea pigs would chew on it...





making one bouyant guinea pig

best way to relieve a bored guinea pig is to give it a freind tbh , they are much happier when kept in groups, they will live alongside rabbits too

Corn snack? Bit of butter and some black ground pepper does it for me.

Love your sense of humour Bandy. I sit here chuckling to myself
so often I worry in case I'm going crackers.

When you do Ruth you can join the rest of us and feel at home.

Ruth: A lot of the folks on wikiwirral are loopy, nuts, mad, crazy, deranged, ga-ga or just plain strange. Some would be quite worrying if they ever managed to get out under the fence.

Back to topic..... what was that about Corned Snacks ??

Someone, no names no pack drill, misspelt corn snake as corn snack. This left a gaping hole for a nonsensical quip, which I provided. God help me.

Hes not due to shed had a good look lastnite,but the gf accidently left the tank open last night and he escaped luckily i found him and came straight to me so had him out for a few hrs and he loved it,gave me a chance to clean out his tank to wooo.yeah weve got a few little branchs and bark tunnel in his tank and usually sheds in one big piece but anyway thanks for the advice

If he is ok now it seems like he must've just had a hang over. Don't put spirits in his drinking bowl in future, keep him on water.

a complete , or near too ,skin is a sign of a snake in good health matey so looks like your doing things right.
