Corn snakes need gone straight away

[Blackecho]

I'm pretty sure you can't be allergic to snakes. Could it be the substrate? - What are you using?

[SeaWolf]

well i didnt think so either!
tried 2 types of aspen,newspaper and kitchen roll.

[SeaWolf]

please someone take them!

Could it be possible they have mites and that is what you're allergic to?

[SeaWolf]

no mites on them either

[dodgy]

have you got any new air fresheners? ambi pur & nearly all oil based plugins can be bloody leathal.
they make my chest tight n it feels like start of a heart attack!

It seems highly unlikely but it is theoretically possible - have you actually had an allergen test performed by a doctor to confirm it is the snakes? If so then you'll be the first person in recorded medical history to be allergic to reptiles.

Bump up to help her out...

There is 1.1 09 Het Avalanche (100% het Anery, Amel, Bloodred, 50% poss het Hypo and Lavender)

and 1.1 09 Bloodred 66% poss het Hypo and Lavender.

Bred by me.

There's nothing wrong with the snakes themselves, she is just having bad reactions to them. We can't figure it out either. She's changed from Aspen to kitchen roll etc, and is still getting the reaction, which is getting worse.

She's devastated about this, but there's not much more she can do other than to get rid of them.


They come with the heat strip and mat stat, (bought brand new) as well as the tubs they're in, with basic setup.

Ideally need to be collected, as she does not drive, and they were delivered to her.

She's not looking for someone to come take them for free, we have offered to have them back for her, so she knows there is a good home if she needs it, she needs to recover some of the costs of all the equipment etc, so make an offer, just no more silly ones!

Bump!

could someone not take them and sell them on surely thats the most sensible option.. if indeed the urgency is as pressing as it seems to be..

So for example sami collects them, to avoid seawolf having any further horrible reactions.. and then once sold will forward funds to seawolf??

Is that an option.. it would certainly solve the issue of the allergy..
