Burrowing Corn Snake?

First_Shed Jan 19, 2008 12:28 AM

I've had my corn snake for about a week now, fed him twice on pinkies and keep his cage at a 70-75 79-83 temp gradient and have about an inch of aspen shavings for bedding, he has hides at either end. Today every time I go to look for him in his cage he is burrowed under the aspen shavings. I just wanted to make sure this was normal.

Everything seems ok...

He's about 14-16 inches I think, 07 baby okeetee.

Thanks,

Shed

Had my snow for a little over a week now and all he does during the day is burrow under the aspen. It is perfectly normal. He/She tends to come out about an hour before I turn his heat lamp off and put on his night light. Dont worry about hes ok.

Corn snakes crave security. They spend most of their time hiding - in the wild and in captivity - especially babies. The most likely time to see them "out and about" is at night. So what your snake is doing is completely normal.
