Hello everyone, just looking to start the search for a good home early for this special needs cornsnake!

He's still got a long road ahead of himself before he can be adopted, and we will be very picky on where he goes, but if you think you would be a good fit, please let me know!

Requirements...
● Must have previous corn snake experience.
● Must have an indepth understanding on obesity in snakes.
● Must have a minimum 6x2x2 enclosure for him.
● Must have an experienced reptilian/snake vet incase other health issues arise
● It would be awesome for him to go to someone who will use him for education, but this is not a requirement.

More information about him will be available after he's been with us longer, but for now, heres what we know...

Weight: 1115g/2.4lb
Length: aprox. 5'
Morph: likley an amel motley.
Could he be a breeder? Apsolutly not.
Rehoming fee: this will depend on the cost of care while he's with us (vet visits, enrichment, food, etc) but will be somewhere between $50-$200.

Jeffrey Leibowitz (creator of Venomous Snakes Classifieds) is a liability to us all: not only venomous keepers but reptile keepers as a whole. Many of us share this view, and are posting this today. There is no ignoring him or hoping he will go away. Jeff has signed a deal with the producers of Tiger King and Chimp Crazy to go on Netflix. Both of these shows have led to legislation outlawing the respective animals. Odds are extremely high that the keeping of venomous reptiles will be shown in an extremely negative and fearmongering light, which will likely have similar consequences as the previous shows.

- I am posting this in agreement with the international venomous keeping community. Please do not support Jeff!

Copy and pasted. Please share and take action to shut him down as there are so many of us that do this responsibly without impacting others.

***ADOPTED!***

Adult male corn snake for adoption!

Name: Candy corn

Morph: masque or diffused (we think!)

Age: 2-3yo

Diet: Previously feed 1 live adult mouse weekly, now feed 1 large ft mouse bi weekly.

Temperment: skittish, but may mellow down with time. Because of this, we will not adopt him out to a first time snake owner

Minnimum enclosure size: 4×2×2' or 120gallon

Could he be a breeder? No, we don't know enough about his genetics for it to be ethical or responsible.

Rehoming fee: $55

Orgin: orginal owner was given him as a gift, Likely came from a chain petstore, but that is not confirmed.

*will update with more info later!*

He is still in quarantine, and can only be officially adopted in a month or two, but if anyone's interested, it'd be great to get a head start on the adoption process so we can get him to his new home as soon as possible!

Feeding time for the hermies! (The white things outside of the dishes are just unsalted popcorn and marigold petals)

Edit: I'm not sure what FB did to the video to make it look so saturated. But it was not that bright originally 😅

Trying out duckweed in one of the crabitats, we'll see how it goes...

Benefits: its rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, it's an added enrichment option, it's close to impossible to kill, and it looks nice.

Negatives: it makes a huge mess since they track it everywhere, and I've worried it might get in their shells and bother them.

I guess we'll find out, but so far they seem to be liking it! They've been frequenting their fresh water pool a lot more since I put it in ❤️

Just wanted to share this beautiful documentary that premiered at crab con 2023 called Sentient Souvenirs.
It does an amazing job highlighting how cruel the hermit crab industry is, and what we can do about it. (Such as adopting)
