Hi Pete, it is really good that you have joined us! This is a great forum with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also get lots of fun and friendship . You say that you are a new corn snake keeper, so I am not sure how much information you already know....sorry if I am repeating information you already know, but it is better heard twice than not at all.
How long have you had Sherman and Medusa? How old are they? (we are a nosey lot on here ) I would echo what Mouse has said....if they are sharing a viv then there are a lot of things that can go wrong and a lot of dangers involved. Checkout the link Mouse gave you. It is a long thread and it shows how strongly people feel about this - but it is so important for you to read it if they are kept together so that you know what might happen.
Am sure you have already browsed the TCS site and forum, and found that it provides great information. The best place to look is http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm, it has lots of information for new snake owners. Also read this topic on 'Your 1st Snake' http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4133
You will find that there is a large amount of conflicting information out there about corn keeping – on the internet, in books, etc. Even on here you will find that people have different opinions.....but at least you have a place to ask what you need to know and get the answers from experienced owners. Then you can decide what to do with what you are told.
Unfortunately a lot of us have found that many pet shops cannot be trusted with what they are telling you  . I know that I double check anything I am told on here. On this forum no question is regarded as a silly question....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too! First place to look is in the top right hand corner of the screen where there is a search button....type in what you are worried about and see if you can find an answer. I know you can get swamped with different topics including what you are searching for, so it is a bit daunting but worth a look. If you cant find the answer you are looking for then dont hesitate to ask!
I am not sure if you have thought of doing this with your 2, but I keep my own 'Snake Diaries'....noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems, when you do full viv cleans. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even note when Kellog and Silvesta poo  !!
Unwritten forum rule - pics as soon as possible! I know Figs has already given you this link but I will repeat it - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14. It will help you discover how to post pics so we can be formally introduced to them both .
A warning - corn snakes are addictive.....and yes, the majority of us have stood up, said "hello my name is ****, I am addicted to corns........! And I am proud of it!" You have just started down that corn path so be warned!!

Hiya and welcome!
(quick note, are they housed together? you say boyfriend and girlfriend, just a heads up - It's so not a good idea to keep corns in the same viv, and people on here can get a little heated about it!!!!!
http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1070
Have a look at that link....) |
