Where to get a tall + long terrarium in Canada? 90+ gallons.

We want to upgrade Marshall’s terrarium in the next year to a 90/100gal (currently a 40), but we’re struggling to find one that’s long (4’ +) and tall so he can climb. We thrifted this entire tank but we can buy new if needed. We’d love for it to be a really tall 4-5’ piece so we can watch him climb!

Struggling to find online places that can ship to Canada and don’t have shite reviews. Also not handy enough to build our own (or, would need a lot of guidance on how!). Any recommendations welcome!

Ecdíse com pós-alimentação

Pessoal, tenho notado que minha corn snake adulta está entrando em processo de ecdíse (pela 2a vez) a cada alimentação (1x a cada 25 ou 30 dias),ela pesa por volta dos 730g e se alimenta de twisters de aprox. 75g... Devo me preocupar ou posso considerar normal? Li em algum lugar que esse processo ocorre entre 5 e 8 vezes ao ano, mas não sei se existem condições para tal

Rescued cornsnake

Hi! I got this cornsnake yesterday from a teenager who wasn't intrested of it anymore, so they gave him to me. This is my first cornsnake (not my first snake, I have ballpythons) and I have done my research, but I have some questions. They told me he is 4yrs old, but I think he is very small to be an adult. He is long, but very thin. They said his last meal was 6weeks ago, wich seems like too long time for me. They gave me 2 mice that they said he has been eating, but to me they seem too big for this snake. His head is so small. Like the size of my pinkyfinger. They didn't know if it is a male or a female, but either way he seems too small. He seems to be in good condition otherwise, very active and good looking. My question is should I try to feed it more then usual adult corns? I read that adults should be fed once every 2weeks or so, am I wrong? They also said that he has shed quite often, is that a sign of problems? Should I take him to the vet? Even if there seems to be nothing wrong whit him, except the small size... I was so confused when I went to pick it up. I was waiting to see a full size cornsnake aged 4yrs and got this tiny lil thing... Or maybe I'm just so used to those bulky ballpythons, and overreact...

Is it just me or is it that Pet shop genuinely dk how to price their reptiles.

So I've never gotten any of my snakes from a pet shop due to the price of the reptiles but I never thought it was that bad to purchase a corn snake??? I'm friend with a lot of breeders who set the price for snakes at a really good price. Most corn snake whether they're normal or Albino go for R200-R400 ($10-$20) on average for babies since they're quite common and this is where I'm thinking pet shops need to rethink they're prices of snakes since you can't sell all of them at the same price as one another which is R1200-R1400 ($65-$80). Like today, there was a baby Albino corn snake (about 5 months?) selling for R1200 but there was also an adult Pueblan milk snake selling for the exact same price and it makes me wonder why they're charging so high for a snake that they obviously got for so low it's crazy.

Normal to poop in water?

I don’t know why but my 3yo Palmetto insist on always popping in her water dish, there’s never any poop anywhere else in her tank. I’ve tried moving the tank, sterilising it etc etc. but still keeps using her drinking bowl as a toilet bowl 🙄💩

Help with feeding

hii so i’m a noob when it comes to corn snakes. I just recently got one not too long ago and it’s coming to the time where I need to feed it. The only issue is is my snake will not get out from under the dirt. I obviously haven’t dug it up or attempted to as that would stress it out. but i am not sure how i can feed it if it is burrowing and i haven’t once seen it since i have got it. please please please help!!

Loud noises?

Hi there, I spotted a snake for sale in my area and I’ve been wanting one for around a year now, the only issue is I have very loud dogs who enjoy howling and I’m worried that will scare the snake? The will be kept it separate rooms but I’m still wondering if this would stress out the snake so I thought I’d ask here first. I’d hate to end up adopting one only for it to become stressed. Any help is appreciated 🙏

UK Corn Owners - What Soil DoYyou Use?

Hi all,

Hoping to get my corn onto a homemade substrate (soil, sand, bark, etc). I'm hoping to be able to get a big bag of soil from a garden centre to do it as cheaply as possible, but keep getting scared off because I don't know which ones are safe and good to use. I know I need something with no presticides, no perlite/vermiculite, etc, but not sure which ones I can actually go for.

So UK owners, what soil/top soil from the garden centre are you using to make your substrate?

Thanks:)

Lost my corn snake over night:(

I need advice, yesterday I purchased my first corn snake, it wasn't in a specific room yet due to the spot we're making for it not being set up. He was in the living room and unfortunately escaped through the night. I've put flour around certain places to track if he's been there, set out a hide to check frequently and left his tank open for him. He just ate the day I got him so I'm not sure if I would be able to bait him out. Please give me some suggestions and some hope that I will find my baby
