im planning to get a baby corn snake, but im trying to learn everything i can at first.
i think so far i have everything needed for the snake.
i have a 20 long tank with a screen top. and four green mats for the bottom, i bought four in order to wash one, i would have a few spares...LOL
i also have some aspen, and jungle mix, but i was not sure if they were good bedding for a corn.
i have 2 thermometers on the tank one for the basking side, and one for the cooler side.
i also put in a humidity guage, didnt know if a corn needed one but i had an extra so i popped it in the tank.
i also have 2 hide boxes, and a sand blasted grapevine branch for him to climb on.
of course the water dish.
full spectrum flourescant light, and a basking light, and a night light..... i also have a ceramic heating bulb(if needed).
ok..... heres my question, the snake i have been looking at is about 10 inches to a ft long.... the girl in the shop said they eat once a week......... is that correct? should he be fed more than once a week or less?
this will be my first snake so i am looking for all the info i can find before getting the snake, also i plan to feed the snake frozen prey, will they eat frozen prey ok? the girl at the shop said she was having a problem at first but now they are eating them ok.
im pretty good with reptiles, i have 4 iguanas, max a 5 ft male, argentina a four ft female, brazil a 2 ft unknown sex... and belize a 16 inch baby...... and also a trantula, ferrets, sugar glider, cats and a dog :D
