Hi everyone!
My names Kate, but I go online by the name of Spreebok/Spree!
I'm taking my first steps into reptile keeping on tuesday, as my friends is selling me one of her hatchling corns, as she is downsizing her collection!
I have the choice between a Snow and a Regular, and I must say I'm pretty taken by the Snow! :D
My setup is a Geo with Aspen bedding, and will be heavily padded out with plants and such to make my new baby feel safe and comfortable! He's coming in a small tub, so I'lluse that to feed him in to avoid and ingestion of the bedding.
I have a few small questions to ask, so I hope it's okay if I ask them here!
1. To re-direct the heat back into the tank, I've placed a peice of cardboard wrapped in kitchen foil (shiny side up)under the whole tank, and my heatmat is only covering about 1/3rd to 1/2 of the tank floor. Is that okay, or am I likely to set fire to something xD
2. How deep should the aspen bedding be? I got it spread thinly (but enough to cover) on the warm side, and about maybe 1" thick on the cool side. Is this too much/too little? As I know corns love to burrow :)
3. I have a lot of logs which I used to use in my fish tank until I decided to go for the rocky look, and they have been sat in the hottest part of the airing cupboard for nealry a year now. Would these be okay to use temporarily as extra shelter? I'll be buying more plants and sticks next week, as I have a payment coming in, but I dont want my snake to feel exposed until then :)
Anyway, thanks for having me you all, sorry to bombard you with questions xD |

Nuu! Not Kochanskie xD Cat, Crytona and Rimmer only! Not saying I will fill the crew out of course... -shifty eyes-
Anyway, heres the only picture I have that isn't blurry or stuck on a camera!
Not very helpful, but atleast you can see what color he is lol! |

I love Red Dwarf. Can't wait to see pics of him |

Oh yes, thought I should give you some info on this guy! xD
I've named him Lister, after Dave Lister from Red Dwarf, and he's a 6 month old Snow corn! He's lovely, and very well handled previously, he loves being out! |
