I know what your saying about the feeding him, lol yeah that could end up bad with letting my neice hold him. It may be in fact that he is getting dehydrated. The card board material is very dry, but I often see him drinking from his water dish. Also every now and again I will spray water into his face and he drinks the water. I am thinking that this isn't cruel because I imagine this is what they do when it rains.



I probably should have read up on this , but like I said it was a birthday present...so it was a suprise. I love snakes...in fact I'm going for a zoology degree right now. But I just haven't learned all that much about snakes yet. Just what I've watched on animal planet and national geographic channel.



I'll try and get a pic of him and his set up on here but im not sure on how to do it.



Thanks again for your help it is very appreciated.



P.S. is probing the only way to sex corn snakes? Or the short tail = female thing work with them?
