I have owned many reptiles, and several snakes (all pythons) and I am currently thinking about adopting a hatchling corn snake (mostly because I think she is beautiful very dark background with bright orange/red spots). I don't know much about rat snakes in general or corn snakes specifically and so I had a few questions before getting this little one.
I know they are native to SouthEast US, but what are their special heating, lighting, and humidity requirements?
Would a 20L be too large for a hatchling (she's only about 8" right now)?
Are they finicky eaters, and if so what can be done to help them along?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
