A well-balanced corn snake diet consists of appropriately sized frozen rodents, thawed/warmed to above room temperature. Feed juveniles once a week, adults every one to two weeks. Feed in a separate tank so that your snake doesn't associate your hand or the habitat being opened with feeding. Fresh, clean, chlorine-free water should be available at all times in a bowl large enough for your snake to soak in.
Always wash your hands before and after handling your reptile and/or habitat contents to help prevent the potential spread of diseases.

Hi, My 2 year old female corn snake has been like this for the last month, any ideas what it could be ?
WHat kind of snake did my cat kill? My cat brought back a dead baby snake it isn’t like any snake native to England it was black with red spots that look like daimond shape I can’t find anything online
I found a garter snake, male I think, with a few tears/cuts on the underside about 4 inches from his head. the tears/cuts don't appear to be deep, but if I try to touch them, he tries to either bite or tighten his grip around my arm.. What should I do with him?
My ~3yo male snow corn snake (about 4ft long and about 530 grams) has some bumps on his side. They don't appear to be painful. His behavior hasn't changed since he got them. My best guesses are either internal parasites or fat bumps despite him not seeming overweight.

Can you confirm if my corn snake is starting with scale rot please.
I fed my Albino California'sking snake a thawed out frozen mouse yesterday and today he has a piece of mouse fur sticking out of the middle of his body..
My ball python has a reddish wrinkly underbelly after shedding. I've never seen this before and it seems like a reason to worry.
My ball python has always has a light blue/ gray hue in good ligting. Is he a different breed then I thought? Or is there something wrong with his scales? Anything you can tell me would be helpful, thank you
My snake has a lump towards the middle of his body and recently regurgitated, maybe a month ago. I fed him a rat pup or mouse maybe two weeks ago to see if it was a digestive issue and he still hasn’t seemed to poop. And the lump is still there.. hasn’t really grown much but it’s definitely noticeable. Is a maybe 8-10 year old desert Cali king. I bought him from Beverlys pet center as an adult, and have had him 7 years.
Brazilian rainbow boa. 5 months old. Eating regularly. Humidity maintained above 85 percent. The snake has developed white blisters on its back and head. One looks substantial, the other looks to have just started. I've had the snake for 5 weeks and she did her first shed 3 days ago. It came off in one piece and looked fine to me. She got a new water bowl 7 days ago and has taken to hiding under it. I can't afford a vet for another 6 days but I've read she needs immediate care. Please help :(
