Pet Snake Questions Help

I got done feeding my snake and was about to take him out of his feeding container when he strikes at me. It looks like he hurt his mouth on the bottom because he started opening it multiple times and backing awake. After a while he stopped and when to his water when I put him in his tank. He seems like he is okay now but I’m still really worried.

I don’t know anything about them so I want to research. Good resources and maybe some suggestions for a beginner snake. She’ll be 11 this year.

I just got a piebald ball python. I am a first time snake owner and would love any and all advice! She is 8 months old and a little over 2ft. I currently have a 20 gallon tank that will be upgraded as she grows. I have a thermometer, overhead light, heating pad, plenty of coconut mulch, and a water bowl, as well as one hut. Her tank is pretty sparse at the moment but I plan on getting her more hides later on (short on money atm). I would also appreciate any links or suggestions for snake enrichment items/hides/plants ect. So far her tank isn’t as warm as it should be, any advice on getting it warmer?

She also doesn’t have a name yet so any suggestions are appreciated!

I just got my baby stimpsons python the otherday and he is in a small plastic enclosure with a heat mat but im finding its doing nothing. The heat mat is on like 44 degrees Celsius but in the actuall enclosure where he sits and ontop of the substrate its like 27. Should i just shell out the money to buy a glass enclosure so i can put over head heating or is there something i can do with this?

Pet Snake or "morph" ID Need some second opinions on species

Hello all! This is noodle, and I took him off of a co-worker as he couldn’t keep him any longer. That was about a year ago and he originally said he was an albino gopher snake, I took one look and knew he most definitely wasn’t a gopher snake, but looked more like a corn snake. This brings me here, I have just been calling him an albino corn snake for the past year, but suddenly got the urge to ask some others for confirmation, I am like 98% sure but I just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks!

My daughter just turned 9, and has been asking for a snake and she was 7. I of course took it as a phase, but I’m not even kidding when I say she spends ALL her free time researching and reading about snakes. Reptile show next weekend, and we’re ready for our new family member ❤️ (and I’m excited to share in her passion.)

He was very spooked by us, and hid in the grass shortly after. I always love seeing the local snakes thrive here, love seeing these little guys.
