The skin on my 9 year old Russian's neck appears to peeling, not major but it is peeling in spots, any ideas as to why?eats great and varied

Hi Pam, good to meet you!

They are so cool! nice habitat also. I wanted a Red Foot, but then Asia came along and needed a home so I took her in. I don't have any more room due to my Red Tail Boa, And spider ball Python. Like I mentioned earlier Asia is an eight year old female Russian.

Hey Sh3wulf, Love corn snakes also known as red rat snakes, they are constrictors, feed on small rodents, and are excellent climbers. In the wild they are mostly nocturnal. They do well in captivity and are quite friendly most of the time. feed him pinkies for now, than small mice as he is able...
