As noted above, they don't need any lighting because they are nocturnal. The lighting will be more for your viewing pleasure than it will be for the corn snake.

Great choice for the age. At 6 months they should be well started. You might still have to feed in a smaller enclosure to start though. That depends on how they were fed by the breeder and the personality of the snake. That is always a trial and error situation. Most tanks have a lip on the...

Welcome! It's nice to see you are researching care BEFORE you acquire your corn snake. You didn't specify the age of the animal you are getting. I mention that because it might have some bearing on sizes of everything, including overall habitat. Hatchlings are easily overwhelmed. So large...

Thank You!

May I ask, is the Oct Expo you are intending to attend the Tinley NARBC in Tinley Park, IL? If so I live in the area and have attended from it's inception. It's a HUGE show and very crowded in October. If you can swing it, I'd recommend purchasing a VIP badge so you can enter before the swarms...

What exactly do you mean by "register"? As in Guinness World Records?

The behavior is commonly seen in king snakes and I like to call it "Tasting". It isn't really aggressive but more like an inquisitive poke and nibble to see if you're edible. lol When I see the behavior coming, I gently redirect the animal's head/attention. Now for the why all the sudden part...

What "exactly" did the vet speculate the lump was caused by? Is it an infection, a burn, a benign growth, a tumor, etc.? When it "broke" did pus weep/ooze out? What was the cream the vet gave you? Did the vet offer antibiotics, oral or injectable? I agree with the approach the reptile shop owner...

I raise chickens and quail and occasionally one of the older ladies will lay a rubbery/unshelled egg. Chronic soft shelled eggs are usually a calcium deficiency in birds but the occasional one is probably a hiccup in the shelling process. That said, I was curious as to their viability so I've...

Barring any additional hidden genes (unknown Hets) you would get all Super Salmon Snows PH Motley.

It's learning process. I'm just happy CS is still here! So much knowledge saved in this digital space. It would be tragic to lose it. Thanks for your effort and I'll keep playing and learning.:)

Eggs left outside the lay box is normal for some snakes. In my experience these eggs are usually infertile. Occasionally you get a snake that just didn't read the manual and lays none of her clutch in the lay box but rather scattered throughout the enclosure or, worse yet, in her water bowl...

Welcome! Great name. How did you decide on it? There is a ton of useful info here, as well as great peeps. Glad to have you on board. Terri

You didn't say if you have other corn snakes. If you do and any of them are female, you could be looking at breeding behavior. Males go on seek and copulate missions this time of year, frequently in response to pheromones wafting in the air. As long as nothing else in his environment has changed...

Welcome back! The new form is going to take some getting used to, but well worth the effort. Glad to see CS is back up and running. Thanks Rich.

I collected some toad eggs last night from a vernal pool as they were being laid. I took them home and popped them under the microscope to watch them divide. Nature is just amazing! Enjoy, Terri
