So i unfortunately have had to potentially rehome Hige due to this being my dissertation year at uni as well as now having a job and a lot of unexpected issues - im never going to be home while he's awake, so i wanted to create a little care sheet for any prospective people. What would go on...

I keep it on. Brumnation isn't as deep a sleep as hibernation so sometimes my beardie will wake up and have a wander while im not there. Its also good to keep up the day/night cycles, because light and heat will still get to your beardie, even if its just a glimpse at the cave entrance. I cut...

My guy loved to dig at the linoleum so i went out and got a dig box. I used to use dried dandelion leaves i happened to have within a cat litter tray. They sell dried dandelion leaves for small furrys and i used them because they looked natural, had little dust and if he ate them then its just...

I use linoleum. I went to my local flooring shop and bought a cheap offcut of lino from them for next to nothing. Its easily cut to size, especially since i have a round edged platform, and so cheap that if you ever decide to have a 'design change' you can easily change it out. It doesn't look...

Ah my guy does the same too. Last time he was properly awake, i got back from university and checked on him as usual. I noticed he had the blackest beard i have ever seen on him! He was otherwise as bright as usual and didn't seem to fussed - running along when i opened the lid as normal. Picked...

My guy hates bathtimes and he used to go crazy. He's slowly learnt it won't kill him, and started enjoying it. He kicks around while he's in there like he's almost swimming and i use a plastic tub he can get out of easily by himself. Look at his colours and beard - if i drip water on Hige's head...

Thanks so much for these guys :D Im putting them all into the tables and just waiting till i get that little bit more data. This may even help me get a job - its already got me as far as an interview! :)

Hige has been brumnating for about a month (though not feeding for about 2) and a few days ago he woke up and started scratching at the glass. He ate 2 small dubia and a little bit of babyfood - his favourite carrot and butternut squash but turned his nose up at everything else. I left him to...

How long does brumnation usually last approximately? I miss having my little guy run around! He's been down a few weeks though and although he had a bright day a few days ago im guessing he's gonna be down a while longer. To be honest it couldn't have come at a better time - i have 8 hatchling...

Got my 8 late june/early july hatch corn snake babies home today - i just had to share some of the photos i took for their record sheets! I have no idea on names yet either :3 They're still settling in so i cant handle them yet. Also they're currently between 9 and 17g - is this normal for 4...

Ah seb is a Pets At Home baby (uk chain pet shop) and he was sold as a normal carolina - he's very bright though so im thinking there may be something there :) i can't wait till he's full grown to see what he's like 'cause he's only a yearling at the moment :). I love your albino okeetee...

So theres an awesome thread called 'snake shaming' on another forum i use - it is full of pictures of peoples snakes doing something they shouldn't be and how they 'misbehave/act silly' :D I thought it'd be great to see any Beardie/other reptile ones! Sometimes shaming them via the internet is...

'Paint me like one of your french girls!' - How to shed in style :D

I do the same! my other half hears me going 'its so cute!!' and he looks, hoping for puppies - im there with a reptile pic just all 'look at the bobble heads!'

That sounds good :D He does sound very cute! :) Let me know how you get on - im taking on several hatchlings soon so i'd love to see if this works on a truly annoyed snake. I maintain that Sebby is partially sighted though - he always misses his food and is constantly pointing his eyes in...

The snake has some docility issues and is a difficult handle. I have a corn snake (Sebastian) who is puppy tame now but was very skittish. He was born Jan '11, arrived at the shop in march and stayed there till almost November when i chose him. The guy was like 'im sure you want a younger one...

How long has he been undecided on his brumation? He's been iffy all month but about a fortnight or so ago he decidedly was slowing down, sleeping more, and refusing food, but he's been wanting to brumnate for about a week or possibly more. At one point he slept in a box under the basking...

Hige hasn't pooped in just over a week, which i expected since he hasn't eaten in over a week. I've been bathing him every few days so he's nice and hydrated. I popped him in this evening and after 15 mins or so he did urates and a completely white poop, bar a tiny black bit at the end. The...

Im no where near the hurricane (UK) But we've been having powercutsin my area lately due to some faults with the grid/fuses. My guy went without his usual night time ceramic heater and it dropped to 9c/48f for one night (my house is freezing!) and Hige was fine. The power went off around 11pm...
