Thanks, a lot of very solid advice there, I appreciate it.
>>Give it somehwere to hide, water and security until it gets a little larger and it should thrive.
At what length would you suggest I move it to the larger terrarium?
>>I hope you mean the exotera pad will be under one side.
I did.
>>I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean about the water but if you have a nice large water bowl fill enough for the snake to soak if it wants/needs.
I read that the water level should be half the snake's width so when submerged it would cover the snake but not be too high for it. Should I fill it more than that?
>>With the screen top they make clips to hold them in place. If you make sure to get the right sized screen top for the tank you can get clips to secure it. Put a couple of clips on each side and one on each end. That should secure the lid.
Yeah I'll be getting those. I'm probably unrealistically paranoid about this particular aspect.
>>I was going to mention that above. I know you probably want a more naturalistic enclosure but I personaly would recommend aspen shavings.
I'll definitely look into aspen. I read the Repti Bark helps the snake shed and complete shedding was a problem with corn snakes.
>>I will give you mine and I'm sure others will give you theirs and you can work with whichever works for you.
Thanks, sounds good.
>>now these are just my opinions, ideas and recomendations.
Thanks again.
