I currently have 11 baby corns in a 28 QT sweater box in my racks. I also have available 2 - 30 gallon aqariums with heat pads( I not able to control them with my thermostat like my racks) I also have another snake that is going to lay eggs very soon so I'll have more babies....
I have been trying to sell them but I sell only a couple in a month. I don't have enough to make it worth getting a table at a show.
Do you think they will be ok in what I have them in?????
Any ideas will help, Thanks

Hi Cory,
My Keeper Corns I will keep alone in Shoe Boxes up until almost a year old and then they move up to my sweater Box rack. My for sale Corns i keep three - five to a shoe box, depending on age and size. I another month or so, what I have left over will stay over until next season so I do not have to ship in the cold of winter. Next season they will be sold as yearlings. I will keep them over the winter in their own shoe boxes (they are only about $1.00 each at Wal Mart and with some newspaper and, a hide and a water bowl you are set to go. I don't worry about the heat with them as I keep the snake room warm all year (from 70 in winter- 82 in summer)
I hope this helps

My only reason for asking this is they seem to be stressed. They are regurgitating and I don't know which ones are...

Which is exactly why you should be houseing singely! Have you had any issue of cannibilsum yet?

Keeping your corns in a group is causing them stress, which is why some of them are throwing up. It would be best to keep them individually in shoeboxes. You can set the shoeboxes on heat tape of a heating pad so the snakes have a thermal gradient.

I'm with Jim (Hoppy)
I keep my "keeper" hatchlings in 6 quart sterilite shoe boxes until they are large enough to move to permanent housing.
If you have racks, you can fit 3 shoe boxes in the same space as a sweater box.
