Advice on habitat

Of course ebay, my local pets plus has one of those for 200 dollars. Those do look very good. I would buy it, in faaaaaaaaaaaact. :grabbit:
 
I would stay clear of those for corn snake. They are made for the likes of arboreal species. There is not enough ground space IMO for an adult corn, even in the biggest size they provide.
 
I have no personal experience of these vivs but when I was buying my corn from the local reptile specialist, I was strongly advised that this type of viv was not suitable for housing corn snakes.
 
And thats very true... I would use these kinds of vivs for young atbs, etbs, chondros, cresties, toads and newts etc etc....

Yes after a good long look down of it you're right. I did start looking though and found this http://cgi.ebay.com/fish-tank-55-ga...087734616QQcategoryZ20755QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


Looks pretty nice, I don't think we could get it now since I just got a new snake. I know I know I don't get it either.

That's what I have for Tiaga. I'm very happy with it.
Not sure what I'll do when Bree and Brogan grow. Not sure I can have 3 55 gal tanks here but I do like the one I have.
 
Thanks-

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm a first time snake owner so I'll have more ???s for you. Like this one -
I've had my Albino Corn for a week, I just fed him a thawed fuzzie, well I put it in his cage, its been there all day and he hasn't touched it. He's crawled over it, but isn't interested in eating. He was fed the day I brought him home (last Saturday) so it has been 7 days. Is this normal? Should I leave the food in there until he decides to eat it? How long do I wait to throw it away if he doesn't eat it? What should I do? Thanks.
 
I'm not saying it's normal, I'm not saying it's abnormal. Maybe you can do what my dad and I do, just move it with a little wire to keep the snake interested. You can also use the cutting technique, you cut it's legs and arms. Doing this spreads the smell throughout the cage. I'll let other people post more suggestions, these are the most commonly used ones.

Don't forget wait about five days to try this again.

im new with this too, but i had the same problem, and i put my snake in a little box with the pinky and left them for about 30 mins. I came back and she still hadnt eaten it so i went digging around in a book i had and the internet, and i read in a few places that if you gently tap the pinky on the snake with tweesers or something, it will eventualy strike at the pinky. I did this and the pinky had vanished in a few mins :p
 
Thanks again

Thanks again for the advice folks. He actually did eat the fuzzie at around 8pm, when the room went dark. I guess he prefers to eat at night. Other than that he's very tame, settles down almost immediately when being held and I think just an all around content rep. Thanks again friends ;-)
