COPPA stands for the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and it applies to anyone who hasn't reached their 13th birthday yet.

I knew this was going to happen!

I'm so sorry Calla, you're getting overrun with new pets.

I've temp gunned mine at 110. That's when he really really likes. Way too warm, but I think it makes them smell stronger. She's at the size where you could try both mice and rats, and she may have a preference of one over the other. (I had to feed f/t adult mice last week because they were out of th...

All I can recommend with the f/t is to make them really warm (Stan likes them like hot tea hot), and to start wiggling them at the snake's tail and to not stop slowly dragging them either along the snake or away from the snake until the snake strikes. I think that's where a lot of keepers give up - ...

With the exception of Mom23, it seems like no one really hears from her. This has happened for the last couple of years now. She'll find a customer that she prefers to talk to and will route all information through them. (LHC.com does have an account on here and used to post regularly, by the way.)...

Where do the Ruggs come from? I've heard both Australia and Indonesia... I just keep my fingers crossed. I wish there were a way to find ruggies in Florida. I found a entire tank of teenie E's in Daytona but I'm nervous about their personalities and am really looking forward to some sweet ruggies. ...

Taco the Snake? I like it. :hlol: You don't have to rush it! :) Stanley was nameless for weeks because nothing fit. He was just The Snake. My husband and I were watching that TV show about the little girl with psychokinetic powers and she has a stuffed turtle named Stanley and we just sort looked at...

There was a couple small bits of shed on the log hide. How can you tell? She's shiney. :D Stanley is molting every month for some reason, so he's taught me quick how they'll look throughout their shedding cycle. Right after molting they are vibrant and shiny and sort of silky to the touch. This is ...

WOW. She is seriously stunning! She looks freshly molted? Did you get a chance to handle her to see what her temperament is like?

Definitely Anery.

Thank you for explaining. There's so many morphs listed on that site it's overwhelming. I had no idea there were so many! I think she's pretty. Most corns I've seen were reds. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter. I would love one like this too: http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_...

What the guy on the other forum actually said was anery but I assumed that was short for anerythristic? Yes! Anery is Anerythristic. It's a lack of red pigment and causes black & white color. Amelanistic is lack of melanin which leads to red, yellow and orange with red eyes. Hypo is hypomelanistic,...

She's gorgeous!!! :clap: Anery snakes are completely devoid of red, yellow and orange pigment. In most species that leads to truly white & black snakes, but the corn pics I'm finding are brownish instead. http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/anerythristic/?sid=bb60057abe993d0fe07e54...

Snake mites can be transported with bedding and decorations, so it's not a bad idea to clean anything new to be safe. Some stores can have serious problems with the mites.

Snakes aren't crabs. :) That has been absolutely the hardest thing for me to get past. I am so hardwired now to think "will it hurt a bug? will it hurt my crabs?" that I was going overboard on making everything crab-safe for the snake when he did not require that much effort. It's not even straight ...

What are the stands made from? Just realized I missed this! The tall black stand is parts from an old nylon cat playhouse. It's the same one that was used to support the water dishes in the old E tank, just cut down a bit. The green wire thing that the water dish is on are those white coated wire p...
