Hello there, I'm new here and am currently trying to learn all about setting up snakes before I hopefully get one! It's officially for my son as he's asked for a corn snake for Christmas, but I've wanted snakes for years anyway lol! He asked for one last yr but then forgot so obviously was not really that bothered, but this yr it's been a non-stop hassling for about the last month and has even chosen a name so I think he's a bit more definite about the idea!
I used to keep lizards as a teenager, but never had a snake, and I'm just trying to find out as much as possible at the moment so I don't get things wrong!

He was on a pinkie every 5 days then he went to 2 each feeding because he was still looking for foodvand there wasn't much of a bump. After a 6 day gap we had to feed him 4 pinkies over the course of 2 days because he was still looking for food and wouldn't settle to digest. So we thought it would be best to go to fluffs every 5 days. He strikes everytime. He is going to be a monster! |

Thanks! She hasn't had her full week of settling in yet, but we had to get her out AGAIN tonight as she started shedding the other day and although we thought at first she only had a few bits left, we then realised she'd actually barely started We had to help her with some wet kitchen roll and she's even prettier now she's all shiny and new lol! Her names Corno. Hubby and I are very jealous of our son's pet
Edit - she hatched 31/8 so not even 3 months yet.

So much for not going near her - she's shed! We still couldn't see any sign of her but could see a little bit of shed skin this morning, still not seen her all day so just had a quick check to make sure she's OK. Popped her in her RUB for a few minutes so I could clean out (she'd clearly done a poo as well, pheeeeeewwwww lol!) which my son was chuffed about that he could actually watch her for a bit. There were lots of little bits of skin everywhere, but I did find the head piece intact with the eye caps so that was a big relief! She's still got a few bits on her, but I'm leaving her to get those off herself. I have put a bit of extra bark in as well for her to rub through and will check again in a few days.
Thanks for all the nice comments, we think she's gorgeous lol! |

She's beautiful! It's hard to resist at first isn't it but she'll be fine. Can't wait to find out if she sheds. Mines due now so no snake action for me at the moment either... |

OK, so here she is! She came home yesterday and apparently the pet shop reckoned she's about to shed... she's been hidden under her hide ever since she got here, (occasionally sticking out a bit so we know she's still moving about a little) so hope she's OK. Resisting the urge to check up on her is tough lol!
(Ignore the fact she's on bark, that's simply what the pet shop sent her home in )
