Crazy Herp Chick
Hey everyone sry i haven;t been on for soo long probably nearly a year been really bussy anyways just wanna say hi again just a little update my cornsnake is know 2 years old shes beutiful about 4' 3'' long and about acouple inches thick. anyways back to my question...

My cornsnake is kept in the middel of my room and my borhter and I have to share a room usually its not a problem but my brothers gotten really rowdey and loud lately i dunno i guess its a 10 year old thing. I"m just worried if it would be stressing out my corn. shes usually more active now all she does is sit and hid in her hidebox. I tell him to be quiet because its scaring her but he will listen and then forget you know. I can;t really move her cage anywhere because a 30gal tank isn;t really fittable and my living rooms just as bad the only quiet place would be my moms room but shes too scared to let nicky in there. I dunno what to do any suggestions? please help i want her to have an awsome happy stress free life. thx
 
Maybe you could show your bro a few threads on this site to show him that stress and snakes just dont go if all else fails beat him up.........................only jokin...............
 
Nicky,

If you keep on your bother and express the importance of his actions to your critter he should eventually mellow out. At age 10 it's easy to forget. Also you might want to include your brother in your interest in snakes. If he has a bond with your snake, even a small one, he may be more concious of his actions.

I have two children ages 7 and 13. My 13 year old has her own Anery and we have an Okeetee that is considered community property. I often offer my 7 year old a chance to hold one of our snakes and include him when one of them is doing something of interest.

My son, like many boys including your brother, can get pretty rough and tumble in his daily activities. On feeding day I insist that he keep his activities down and not jump in the house. On some days it goes well but on others I have to remind him two or three times. He doesn't mean to do it, he just forgets. I'm sure your brother's the same way. Keep on him Nicky, it'll get better!


Cheers,
Jason
 
Sound don't matter. Vibration like stomping the floor or jarring the set up may be a problem. If your snake is eating properly don't worry! Hiding is also perfectly natural.
 
I think as mentoned above you should get your bro involved , it may not be the easiest task but its worth giving it a go. My daughter loves our snakes she is 4 but my siser is also 10 and i find the more i tlk about snakes the more she is interested. Maybe you could buy him some reptile books 4 xmas.
