    Extractions: Terrarium and Cage Construction and Care Average customer rating: So many new corn snake color morphs have been developed since this book was first published that its coverage of the morphs that existed at the time seems a bit dated. Nevertheless, this book is still of considerable use to corn snake breeders, as well as anyone else interested in breeding for recessive traits, for its clear explanation of Mendelian rules of inheritance. Novice corn snake keepers ask too often the question of what you get when you breed this kind of corn snake with that kind; after reading this book, they'll be able to figure it out for themselves. Readers interested in descriptions of the latest corn snake morphs, and how they're made, should consult The Corn Snake Manual by Bill and Kathy Love.

    Extractions: Snakes are believed to have evolved from burrowing lizards. These lizards were long and string-like and lost their legs. It is also believed that the eyes lost all function and became small unusable and covered with a scale. When snakes came to the surface and evolved from these lizards the need for sight arose again. The scale covering the eye became a clear scale known as the spectacle. The spectacle, because it is a true scale, is shed with the rest of the skin during the sloughing process. Also, the internal portions of the eye had to reevolve. This accounts for the differences seen in anatomy of the snakes and lizards. There are 18 species of snakes in NY. This is a small percentage of the 2,200 species of snakes worldwide. Snakes, as all animals, have evolved different body plans for different uses. Speciation occurred to allow different snakes to fulfill different niches in the environment. The snakes range from small harmless slug-eating snakes of the genus Storeria through the larger constricting snakes of the genera Elaphe and Lampropeltis to the extremely large and venomous pit vipers. Although the vast majority of snakes are harmless there are three species of venomous snake in othe state.

He has lived almost the longest of any of the fish I knew. Only one tank mate survives, Cozmo. Cozmo is taking the loss very emotionally. They say that fish don't have feelings, but I say they are wrong. I remember when he used to beg for food with Cozmo evey time I entered my room. He will be missed by me and Cozmo. May he rest in peace now. I hope he is swimming with the angels now. The tank will be forever lonely without him.

    Extractions: Snakes in General Snakes: This page gives a basic overview of the snake and conservation. Life Cycle and Behavior: This page describes the basic life and behavior of a snake. Snakes' behavior and life cycles vary depending on the species, and where the species it is from. Different species behave and reproduce differently. The climate of the region where the snake is found also plays a large part in determining the life cycle. Snakes use the seasons to determine when to hibernate and mate. The Body of a Snake: The body of a snake gives the snake many advantages. This page briefly describes a few of these advantages as well as a snakes jaws and ability to shed it's skin. Snake Locomotion: A snakes ability to move without limbs is one thing that makes them so facinating. For instance, Sidewinders move in a different pattern than most snakes because of the hot, desert sand it travels on. Snake Evolution: Snakes have been wandering the earth for millions of years. Scientists believe that the spurs located on the under side of some snakes may be what is left of the snakes legs. Snake Senses: Snakes have no visible ears, and no eyelids. Their tongues serve for smelling. One would think that the snakes' senses are not very keen. This page contains a short summary that might shed some light on these questions.

    Extractions: Exceptions: Of the 17 families of lizards, 6 families include legless members. Most of them are either burrowers or live in grasslands, where legs would just get in the way. A fascinating example is the Cape Legless Skink ( Acontias meleagris ): a burrowing skink which is not only long and legless but like snakes, also has no external ears! Snakes have flexible jaws to swallow large prey. Lizards have jaws that are rather rigid

Most of them tame down very quickly, especially ones obtained as captive bred babies. It has been very hard for me to find information on the Web about Corn Snakes specifically so I have composed a care sheet myself. Anyone with any information they think I should add to it please email me. HATCHLINGS FOR SALE Very Basic Corn Snake Care Baby Corn Snakes can be kept for quite some time in a 10 gallon fish tank. One adult should have a 30 gallon tank or larger. Bigger is always better! Obviously multiple adults need a far larger cage. They need a heating pad at one end of the tank so they can move back and forth adjusting their body temperature. There are under tank heaters that can be purchased at most pet stores.

    Extractions: Herpetologist SNAKES have generated more fear and misunderstanding than any other group of animals. And psychologists have proven that a fear of snakes is acquired; we are not born with it. Once people learn some of the interesting facts about snakes and discover that most of them are harmless and beneficial, their aversion may diminish. With patience and understanding, almost anyone can overcome a dread of snakes and actually enjoy studying them. One thing is certain-even people with a well-developed fear of snakes are curious about them. Missouri, with its wide variety of wildlife habitats prairies, Ozark hills and valleys, swamps, marshes, has a total of 52 species and subspecies of snakes. (A subspecies is a geographic race of a species.) Most of our snakes are harmless. Although many may bite in self-defense, their bite usually produces nothing more than harmless scratches. There are only five species of venomous snakes in all of Missouri and we describe them in a separate section of this pamphlet. Snakes are members of the Class Reptilia, a group that also includes turtles, alligators, crocodiles and lizards. Snakes and lizards are similar in many ways, but there are some important differences. A clear, non-movable scale covers the eyes of all snakes, whereas most lizards have movable eyelids. Most lizards have legs, but some are legless. The slender glass lizard, which lives in the southern half of Missouri, is an example; it looks like a snake because it has no legs, but like all our lizards, the slender glass lizard has movable eyelids and external ear openings, both of which are lacking in snakes. In addition, lizards have a pair of lungs, while most snakes have an elongated right lung and either no left lung or only a rudimentary one.

    Extractions: Veterinary care There are over 2000 species of snakes but only a few make suitable pets. The most common pet snakes are colubrids (e.g. rat snakes, king snakes) and boids (boas and pythons) The following list is composed of species that usually make good pet snakes and are relatively easy to care for; Corn snake, Elaphe guttata - up to 1.5m in length, placid and easy to care for. King snake, Lampropeltis getulus - up to 1.5m in length, can be a little more apprehensive but still easy to care for. Best kept as an individual snake as may eat other small snakes! Boa constrictor, Boa constrictor - A moderate constrictor, usually up to 2m, usually placid but some individuals can be unpredictable. Larger, but less problematical than Royal pythons, smaller and more easily catered for than the larger pythons that may reach 3-6 metres! Notice that the commonly sold Royal Python ( Python regius ) has been omitted and this is because, despite their docile nature, many specimens are shy, dislike handling and adapt poorly to captivity, with many going through periods of extended anorexia. Captive bred specimens may be more suitable.

    Extractions: By Robert Applegate My goal with this book is to provide you with essential information for the long-term care and maintenance of this beautiful and variable species of snake. I have chosen to present this in an informal manner, writing as if we were in the same room carrying on a conversation. Most of what is contained in this book are my personal opinions, based on many years of my experience and the shared knowledge of others. An additional goal, should you choose to be part of this program, is to provide you with the information needed to reproduce species in captivity and provide additional specimens to the public, thereby reducing the need and demand to collect large numbers of additional wild specimens.

    Extractions: Many people who are unfamiliar with snakes assume that their skin is cold and slimy. The skin of a snake is actually dry and scaly. In many instances, the skin of snakes is smooth to the touch. The scales that make up a reptile's skin consist of keratin, the same material that makes up human fingernails, mammal hair, and bird feathers, none of which are slimy. Just like the skin of humans, a snake's skin can either be warm or cold. If a snake is retrieved from a hibernaculum or caught beside a cold body of water it is likely that its skin will be cold. However, a snake caught on a warm afternoon while basking in the sun will usually feel as warm as any mammal. Unlike mammals, which are endotherms, amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic which means that their body temperature is usually dependent on the immediate surroundings. Rainbow Snake ( Farancia erytrogramma Snakes are often reported as being much longer than they actually are. The nearly universal long and narrow body design of snakes makes it easy to overestimate their length. The fact that many snakes often remain in a coiled position may also lead to false estimations of their size. In addition, overestimates of their size by humans may undoubtedly be attributed to fear. The majority of snakes in North Carolina range from 1-3 feet in length. Some active-foraging snakes such as coachwhips and ratsnakes may reach lengths of up to 7 feet. By far, the largest bodied snake in the southeastern United States is the
