Uhmm.... so what is a 1 feet Pueblan milk? Baby or juvi?

I would say juvie....though one feet is still quite small....why does it matter so much?

but i not stupid la.. no fast movements and everything =P

but he lets me touch him... i dont take him out everyday.. just occasionally... but i just reach him and stroke him once or twice when i change his water...

is this a cause for concern ( him being so docile?)

A. He's used to human contact until he's comfortable with it.

B. He's too stressed out and jaded that he doesn't bother.

If I were you I would take choice B for now because it's the safer choice to have in mind. Wild caught PTS specimens are usually a bit flighty and nervous, but don't really bite for no reason. I agree that they are not like ballies and Kings as they can't be handled that often. Handling any snake actually stresses them anyhow but we do it so they can get used to us. Even for this reason, handling should be minimal with any snake.

There have been cases of snakes dying from over handling, but handling them for about 5 - 10 minutes twice a week is not so bad, just not everyday.

advice taken haha...

he's eating normally.. i think. active during the day... ( when i'm at school ) .. i come home i see all the marks on the glass wall =.=

then i come home around 4-5 p.m. he usually calm down d... settle on the on the wall or on the ground....

but he is alert though.... i look through the side .. then he turn face me fast fast... same thing from the front and the other side...

I'm thinking of offering my service here.... I own 2 corn snakes and breed my own feeder mice....

The problem is I've got 25 new pinkies the last 3 days.... 9 hoppers....

8 hoppers were killed by stray cats.... I was so happy that they were killed

So, anybody who got 3~6 month old corn snake can let me take care as an adopted pet... just to take care
my mice population lah.....

You could always give me some.

snake pooped today haha.. cleaned it up d....

he likes pooping and peeing on the wall =.=

anyways... i heard that there is a thing like terrarium cleaner? something u remove the poop then spray the spot so it is disinfected?

it also doesnt affect the reptile....

This morning i finally got my copperhead(frm MAKO) fed!!!
YAY!!!

wat i did was...:
it has been hiding long inside hiding place without coming out...i jentik 2 cicak until they pengsan,put them in front of the entrance of the hiding place...

i waited,waited,waited...until those cicak regained concious,the copperhead stil dun bother...
then i lost my patience ade,i used chopstick to halau one of the cicak into the copperhead's hiding place,then...

"WHACK"!!!
The cicak came out with no tail ade...damn funny...

then i halau it again...
"WHACK"!!!
i saw the the copperhead wif the cicak in its mouth ade!

Then i repeated the same action on the 2nd cicak...
"WHACK"!!!
Its died...

hehe congratulations... sure damn nice see them finally eat =P

Hahaha... my milksnake eats like there's no tomorrow.
Recently switched from live to frozen thawed pinky. No problem whatsoever.

Make sure the food is throughly thawed or may cause some digestion problems. Warm it up with your hands before feeding. Good that it's eating.

Hi there austinlai... i told u it takes 2 lizards per feeding...one week b4 i sold to u i fed it with 2 lizards n after that it just shed 3 days b4 i sold to u... i told u that it just shedded n most snakes wont eat just after shedding..moreover the change of environment again causes it not to eat so thats why i guarantee u that the copperhead will eat except that u gotta wait for it to settle down in the new environment first...Plz bear in mind that i don sell sick or unhealthy snnakes....Normally when i get a snake i wont sell it immediately cos i gotta see the snake eat in front of my eyes b4 i sell...then only i dare to guarantee the snake eats...As for the agressiveness that u ask me i think i have shown n proven to u liao right ? double ss so i think u should be satisfied n very happy now austinlai but ur mangroove is still not eating he he,, i think ur mangroove is about to shed cos i see it in the water bowl always n thats why i m not worried about it eating or not ...most snakes wont eat when its about to shed..If u find that the copperhead is too agressive try not to give it the hide n leave it open otherwise go ahead with the hide if its not too agressive ...Take good care of the copperhead cos i know u r gonna enjoy urself with it....

yeah.. mako is a good seller!

I left the frozen pinky in the room temperature for approximately 2 hours, then pour warm water over the pinky to warm it up a bit. Boleh?

i tried before, leaving your snakes without a hide will only stress it, so much so that they wont eat their next meal.. so for safety reasons, i think a hide should be provided at all times.. juz my 2 cents

I agreed with SiokJinLim.

I don't think it is fair to stress your snake by not providing a hide. It is just like forcing you to leave all your doors and windows in your home opened at all times. I also can reason that when you have no choice, over time , you also can get used to the situation and live normally. Right?

but the copperhead juz doesnt wanna come out if i give it a hide...
i scare later it poo inside its own hide...haha!!!
but the hide does made changes lah,seems like it oni like to hunt inside its own hiding place...
put the lizard at the hide entrance it oso dun wan to catch...haha.
so shy...

Ya, copperhead is a very shy snake. I should know because I am also a copperhead keeper. I have raised this one from cacing size and this guy can take down adult size mouse now, Among all the snake I kept, this one does not allow me to watch him eat.
