Re: Temp guns and readings.

Typical body temp is 98.6...If you can tell 2.6 degrees by touch...you are my hero.

Reality is you have to trust your equipment. I have a couple temp guns and they vary less than 1/2 a degree. ...

Re: Do snakes hiss at one another?

Re: Trouble with a very brazen snake.

I don't think I am...by your own admission. I am not trying to berate you. Your issue is confidence with a snake that acts differently than the others in your collection. Snakes are not very...

Re: Feeding a sunbeam snake!!

I worked with 7 Sunbeams while I was doing my venomous training. I had no problem with them feeding on rodents. I really think getting them set up properly is the key. Substrate should be 6+ inches...

Re: Trouble with a very brazen snake.

Cosmic Owl,
Forget the food...It's not the issue here. Please don't take this the wrong way, but truthfully the problem is you. I bred corn snakes for 7 years. I have dealt with every size and...

Re: Trouble with a very brazen snake.

Jim pretty much hit the nail on the head. What you expect the snake to act like really doesn't matter. It's not up to you. it's just the snakes temperament. I also doubt it's food related. A larger...

Re: False Water Cobra constricting?

I worked with FWC's for about 6 years. They would "pin" prey in corners or the floor, but I don't ever remember seeing them constrict. They were probably one of the most food aggressive species I...
