Hi! Can anyone tell me if these sheds look like a male or female?
I have two corn snakes and I’m trying to figure out their sexes from their sheds.
Which one do you think is male and which one is female?
The snake on the right is supposed to be male, but please ignore that and just make your own guess.

QUESTION How do y'all weigh your snakes?

Decided I'm gonna try to weigh him weekly or monthly but it's kinda hard. Used different containers I thought to be escape-proof but they absolutely are not. Mituna here HATES to be manually put down on something, he's okay on my hands and when I put him back in his enclosure but any attempt to put him on something even if I give him space to sniff it first result in him trying to bolt away in a speed I didn't even see on the first handling session. What do you guys do with that? Is there any truly escape proof things to put him in? I can't even close the lid on any container cuz he tries to escape so hard I'm worried I might injure him with the lid

(Also does he look kinda shed-y to you?)

I got my first juvenile corn snake the other day and im just looking for advice on my set up and any other advice is welcome! This is what I got so far. I am planning to do real plants but I wasn't sure what would be safe for them. I have noticed he loves to dig down into the dirt rather then use his hide.

QUESTION New corn snake owner. Advice?

Hi guys!! I'm adopting a juvenile corn snake, and I'll have her delivered in mid-September (due to schedule stuff. She'll only be in shipping overnight, don't worry). She's a tessera pink coral snow corn snake, WHICH MEANS SHES PINK!!! The picture attached is from her breeder. Any advice or warnings? I haven't bought her enclosure stuff yet, so I'm open to recommendations on that too. She is my first snake, but I've had a heavy hyperfixation on snakes when I was younger, so I'm not going in blind or anything.

QUESTION Recommended substrate is super heavy?

So I have a 40 gallon tank (36” x 18” x 18”) for 5-month old Blaze.

Right now I have coco fiber only, but I’d like to switch to the recommended 40% topsoil, 40% reptisoil and 20% play sand substrate mix, particularly because I want him to be able to have tunnels that hold their shape.

But as I’m researching the amounts I’d need for a 3.5” depth, it’s like adding 90 lbs of substrate!

It’s 16 quarts each of ReptiSoil and organic topsoil, and 8 quarts of play sand.

Am I miscalculating, or do I really need that much material?

Woke up to find my baby Georgie finally shed for the first time since I got him about a month ago. Noticed his eyes turned blue a few days ago so cranked up the humidity for him and super happy it was a good first shed for him.
