ok well its only bout 12 inches its in a 30"x12"x18" cage i no its big but i like to start big. one side bout 1/3 is heated to around 86 and cool side is around 76 there is a hide box at each end and a large water bowl and a climbing breanch. i use astroturf as a substrate and there is also a heat pad in the hot end of the cage. at night the temos are 75 all round/,. i have fed him 1 good sizer pinky mouse a week so far he eats good is all this good please let me now..thanks

I'm guessing the heat pad is under the tank? If so, perfect. And it sounds like you read up a bit before buying. GOOD FOR YOU!! It's good to see a new owner who took the time to find out what the snake needs to start with.

Sounds good!
You should have a happy healthy corn snake.
You will have to post pics when you get a chance.
May I make one suggestion?
You might want to use something other then the astroturf for substrate. It tends to hold moisture and begins to smell pretty bad, quickly. Or at least get a second piece so you can swap them out regularily. Have a clean one ready when the other one begins to smell.
There are several diferent substrates you can use.
Aspen shavings, repti bark, paper towels, news paper and carefresh are a few of the more popular choices.
I personally prefer aspen shavings. My corns like to burrow through it, it is easy to spot clean and it isn't dusty.
Anyway you are doing a good job
good luck

Peter: It's OK, I'll handle it. I read a book about something like this.
Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?

That is a good question. Would you like to explain yourself mister.
