Very attractive looking snakey though. What is s/he? Amel... Mine is an Amel but very different markings. Haven't got my head around all the different morphs and variations within each Morph.

She has had her second feed tonight since we brought her home. She was definitely up for it! Discovered it's easier to slice the pinky when it's still frozen - just a little slit down the back, then when it defrosts there's a bit of blood and that seemed to get her excited and she went straight for it.

Should I try her on two pinkies or just leave her with the one? She ate Monday and again tonight.

How often do hatchings shed?

Question - I've read lots of different things by Googling. What do forum members think to the issue of a snake defecating when you handle them? Ours has done it a couple of times. It does just look like normal poo but some suggest it is musk which they do when they are stressed or uncomfortable.

Hi, we got our first corn about 6 weeks ago and just picked up another Amel Albino on Sunday. Got to admit that this snake keeping is really addictive.

Hi, not posted anything for a while. Well yes it's true, once you have one you want more! Amelle is just over two months old now. She's a great feeder and has shed twice with 4 weeks inbetween each shed. I am amazed how quick she is growing but can't wait for her to be 'proppa' big! Question I have is, when should I up her feeding to fuzzies? She is now on two pinkies and swallows them pretty quickly. Is it just a case of trying to see how she manages on a fuzzie? I've noticed that the size of pinkies varies from shop to shop. What size should she be before I can move her into a 3ft vivarium? That will be her permanent home.

Hi NicNacz - I think they just do it as when you handle them as they move about a lot and that seems to stimulate them to poo! Mine does the same. I usually have a towel on my lap just in case. You can tell when they're ready to go as they seem to stop still for a bit before the deed is done. I don't think it's anything to do with being stressed as Amelle always seems very chilled when she is out.

We only used to keep the usual cats and dogs. Now got two corns Khan & Fred along with three bearded dragons Flo, Patrick & Star and my 6 year iold daughter has now informed me that she would like a Tortoise too.
However my favourites are defo the corns. They are both under a year old but so addictive to handle and watch.
