So after becoming a member of cornsnakes.com back in 2006, I finally own a pair of Corn Snakes!
I took advantage of the free shipping sale Don from South Mountain Reptiles had and got a gender pair (non related) Extreme Okeetee Corn Snakes.
I am very happy with the snakes Don sent me
The boys name is Bill Compton and the girls name is Sookie Stackhouse
(True Blood)
Bill was born 07/15/12 and Sookie 07/07/12
Bill is nice but very shy; Sookie is a wild party girl who doesn’t like to be handled and not afraid to bite.
Both very cute both have nice color. Bill hides when I turn on the light, Sookie doesn’t mind the spotlight.
SoOoOo In less than 24 hours of having my snakes, I already had one escape x_x (Bill)
He climbed the thermostat probe cable and managed to escape. After an hour and a half of frantically looking for him, I finally found him in the mid section of my closet. He managed to somehow to crawl up my closet via a Comcast cable lol. So this time I did a better job of tucking the probe cable thru the corner opening of the tank cover and I added some 20lb dumbbells on top for extra security. This morning when I woke up, the first thing I checked were my tanks, both babies were there.
My tanks are very simple at the moment but will be upgrading soon.
I’m using the following
10 Gallon Glass Aquarium Tanks with Zilla Screen Covers
Hydrofarm Digital Thermostat from Amazon.com
Zoo Med Aspen Snake Bedding
Dog bowls that I use for water/hide
Reptile Cave
I plan on buying a hot glue gun after work and attaching the Thermostat probe to the bottom of the tank so it doesn’t move.
I ordered a laser thermometer gun from Amazon, should have it by Monday. I want to make sure the Thermostat is accurate. It says 85 degrees but the bottom of my tanks barely feel warm.
I feel 85 degrees should feel warmer but hey I could be wrong. I’ll test it out with the laser gun.
