I'm having a hard time liking /any/ of the characters. >_>

Mugging old shoeshine guys is epic fail?

Well, if it's because of the... "stuff" they do... just remember: it's no worse than what those in, say, Buffy or Angel do.

It can be.

Depends on who exactly you're referring to. <_<

Mastodon?

As in the band... not the dinosaur. >_>

What?
The characters in Buffy and Angel save the world.
Every day.

The characters in True Blood -
they're normal people doing stupid stuff.



that's my take. >_>

also.

Lottery tickets?

haha

...

Good point.

<3 Buffy.


Lottery is retarded.

I got a lottery ticket from a customer as a present once.

It was a winning ticket.

I won two bucks.

...

on a one dollar ticket.

Epic fail much?

Epic fail much.

Very much. -_-

Yes you should. I just recently bought one of their albums, and I'm pretty impressed.

They're prog metal like Dream Theater... so if you like that kind of stuff, then yeah, check 'em out.

Favorite sub-genre of metal?

least favorite character in the Buffyverse? (can be different....phases Like Angel/Angelus)

Nice. Eh well, I'll keep an eye on him. Could I get that mite removal stuff at Petsmart or would I need to order it if he has them?

He looks healthy, as far as I know.

Christmas music?

They sound interesting. I'ma see what I can do 'bout listening to 'em. ^_^

Hmm... favorite sub-genre. Toughie. Probably death, as I like me some fast and mean metal... but if just plain old hardcore counts, that could take the spot (love me some LoG). XD

Least favorite? Dawn, or possibly Riley. Never liked either... at all. XD

You could probably find it at Petsmart, but personally I'd go off of reptilesupplies.com.

However, if he looks healthy then it's probably not parasites and just... over drinking like you said, or something. XD

If he's got a healthy set of scales (nice and shiny/smooth) he's probably good. External parasites, if he were to have them for some reason, you can see/feel. They're tiny black dots on his body that stick out.

Then again, Chozon... he shouldn't have parasites. He's CB, right? Bought him off a breeder, too. You shouldn't have any trouble at all. I'm thinking he was just nervous, or something like that. Remember, that was only his second meal with you. XD

Christmas music... sorry, not a fan. It all sounds the same!!!!111

I'm not so sure, anymore. He either didn't eat or upchucked this meal too. I left him at 11 with the mouse in mouth, came back at twelve to find him hiding and the dampened mouse on top of the paper.

What do I do now? I don't feel anything on him, and the only way he's acting different than when I brought him home is that he's no as frantic when I pick him up (which hasn't been for several days, as I wanted to not bother him after his first lost meal).

Could it be the mice?

After looking at him under a brighter light, it looks as though his colors are darker then when I got him. It may be possible he's shedding, and I just didn't know what to look for.

I'm starting to get worried, and I definitely don't want to offer him more food until I know for sure. He was captive bred, from a breeder, who said they were feeding on live or frozen/thawed pinks. Since he's 09 (I'm assuming he was born around June) he probably fed plenty of times before now. He's close to 18 inches long. How often do they shed?

Sorry to hear that man. This... isn't normal behavior for a corn snake.

It's possible the mice are bad. You're buying them at Petsmart, right? Tell me... are they by chance frozen together when you open the bag? I've never bought mice at Petsmart, so I honestly can't speak from experience. But try to avoid mice that aren't individually frozen (I'd make a RP order as soon as you can, they've got the best mice I've ever used; none stick together. Just order a few sizes like pinkies, peach fuzzies, and stuff to save on shipping), because when they stick together... there's always a chance they've been defrosted and refrozen. Which, just like with our food, is bad for a snake.

Also, what size are the pinkies? Remember not to feed a corn a meal bigger than the size of the largest part of their body. If the food is too big a corn will regurgitate it.

Has your corn tried to crap lately?

If he can't poop (he opens his butt and can't get anything out), that's a sign of internal parasites. But... seriously man, you shouldn't have parasitical problems. Not with a CB corn.

What are the temps in his cage? Remember to have a basking spot of around 80-85 or so, and try... try to keep the other end of the cage lower temp. I know, it's hard with a 10 gal. XD

Do you lower the temps during the night? It's good to lower the overall temp by roughly 5 degrees. Lets them know it's actually night and so it doesn't stress them out.

Baby corns shed once every 3-4 weeks, if properly fed. And yeah... darker/duller colors are a sign of going into shed mode.

I'd wait around 3 days or so before trying to feed him again; snakes can go a looooong while without food, so don't worry about waiting a bit.

Hope this helps somewhat...

Temps are around 80-85 during the day, and 76-80 at night. That's on the hot side. Cold side stays at room temp around 70.

The mice are individually packed in there own little bags. They have been different sizes
(not a huge difference), but nothing bigger than Jayne can eat. This last one was smaller than the first mouse he ate. O_O

Too, he pooed a lot in the few weeks since I've ad him. 5 times or so. I haven't seen any recently, but he could've gone under the top layer.

I'm hoping he's just shedding and I'm too much of an idiot to see it. XD

?

Ah, well... I too hope that he's just shedding. XD

It makes absolutely no sense that you'd have a sick snake. I mean, a WC from Petco? Sure, I'd be surprised if it lived through a week. But a CB, and a CB from a private breeder... that would make no sense at all. -_-

So yeah, I'd wait a couple days and then see how he eats... unless there are other signs like cloudy eyes, dull colors or a glassy looking belly.

Keep me updated please. ^_-
