Finally found a baby corn. Just got him home today.

I believe he's an Amelanistic? (maybe you guys can correct me) . He's actually quite calm and curious. He's been poking his nose around the cage and generally just checking things out.

I've got a heat mat(just a small 8x8) and a 50watt bulb. I've been experimenting trying to get the heating right. I think it might be a bit hot on the hot end right now though because the little guy won't go near it :)

ok a couple more pics because I have plenty of bandwidth to spare.

Btw, he seems to love the little plant we put in. Climbs all over it.

More nice pics I see.

If you plan on keeping more snakes, it can be hard to keep them all in such nicely decorative vivs like that because it would take you a LONG time to clean 10 vivs like that because of all the rock and plants ect.
But if you only have 1 or 2 snakes in vivs like that its easy.

Only planning on owning the one snake (famous last words, i know). He seems to really like the plant though.
 
My husband and I only planned to look at the snakes at the reptile show......riiiigggght....we bought one.....now I want another one. Maybe one of Steve's nice Okeetee's.
 
Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm not sure how old he is though and the pet store didn't know either. They said they have had him for a month or 2. Can anyone hazard a guess as to how old he might be? 6-8 months maybe?
 
Beautiful snake! I like your setup, - Is that a real plant in there? Very cute. Have fun with yer new buddy

Nope its just a fake plant that is attached to a rock. Its amazing how much he climbs it. Even when he moves from the hide on the warm side to the hide on the cool side he will stop for a moment and play in his plant. Although when he gets bigger we'll have to get something thats alittle more sturdy, as it is now he bends some of the leaves and nearly falls off :)

My snake has a fake vine in his tank, and at first he would depend on the leaves to suport him. That little guy fell down so much, it was kind of funny though. But he did learn what parts can suport him and what can't, his balance has also improves a LOT.

Congratulations on the little snake.
 
Ha, my snake does that too. I have a bendy-vine-thing with leaves and stuff. At one point he could climb all over it, now he's bigger and has to be a big more careful.

The funniest thing though, my thermometer and humidity monitor are little round dials that stick to the inside of the tank. When Leonard was just a hatchling, he would wrap himself around the dials, supporting his weight. But he is way too big for that now- the last time he tried it, he pulled the dial right off the side of the tank! If a snake could possibly look surprised, he definitely was!
 
An update!

Loki ate his first pinky today. I picked the smallest one I could find for his first feeding. He was a bit frightful for the first little bit, but then attacked it and chowed it down in only a minute or two. I now understand what you guys mean when the snake goes into a feeding frenzy. It was quite impressive, I probably could have fed him another 2-3 pinkies. He was looking like crazy for more food.

So far so good :)
