I don't trust most of them either, but I do this one.

I'm sorry too. 2 males can lock though? It's possible they are both males even though they locked?

I guess it could happen but I'm not a breeder person so I got no clue lol

I'm a soon to be breeder, but I have no idea about this. I was just shocked when I saw them locked.

Breeding to much of hassle for me only breeding I would do is durmils and I still got many years before mine mature enough to breed

I sure hope this isn't a female though. #1 If it's a female she's too small and could become egg bound and #2 I'm not ready for eggs yet.

theapexgerman · 02-20-12, 02:43 AM

50/50 could be a male or a female if it is a female hope the male shot blanks lol

Ok I decided to probe him again and it went in just as far, but I made a miscount last night. I thought I counted 6 scales, but it was only 4. So, needles to say, he is actually a she *Sigh*. Now I'm in a rush to get ready for eggs and I'm going to have to keep a VERY VERY close eye on her, so I can get her to the vet if she ends up egg bound. She's 3 years old and, but is done growing, so she will never breed again. Got to get to the store within the next few days to get some tubs so I can get everyone separated.

You're 17, so coming from a "recently teenager" you don't need to be so offended by people trying to get information out of you. It's ok to have been ill-informed, thats not your fault. But housing two could end like this even if they've been fine for a long time..

You need to get all your snakes separated into their own single enclosures ASAP. Just go to Target or whatever and get tubs. They're cheap. There's no reason to delay doing this- go tonight. It'll only take you a few minutes to go buy a tub and set it up. Co-housing is not worth the risk of cannibalism OR accidental pregnancy (as you might now be facing). I don't mean to be harsh but you need to see that we're all trying to help you give your snakes the best they deserve...

Yikes, where did "corn snakes aren't cannibalistic" come from?

I know that NOW. I don't have my drivers license yet, my mom has strep throat and my dad won't be willing to take me, so I can't go tonight, but I should be able to get there by the weekend.

She is a 3 year old female that someone gave me a year ago and they were only feeding her one fuzzie every 2 months, so she is extremely stunted. She has been at the 230 gram mark for several months, so I think she's done growing (I could be wrong though)

Well let's hope your male corn is a steril snake or your going to have fun trying to hatch eggs I got all of mine in cages cept my durmil he's in a tub must say lot cheaper than a cage
