So I finally got my first corn snake today after a long while of waiting and researching, and saving... x_x
I'm really happy with the snake that I found, he was advertised as a Normal Motley, and upon looking at him I'd say that was fairly accurate a description of him, although if any of you guys think differently I'd love to know your suggestions!
I named him Shisha, after the Hindu snake God (I know that's spelt Shesha), and the pipe! I think the name suits him really well.
Enough chat from me, I'll post some pictures so you can see him. (I assume it's a male, but I'm not sure yet!)
Shisha:

Hey and welcome, lovely little snake there. Yep hiding is perfectly normal, and I would probably feed him when he's due.. but that depends on how well settled in he is. If he is seclusive then I'd wait two more days, postponing a feed shouldn't do him much harm if he's healthy  |

Ah thank you, I had a feeling he might be creeping out now and then, I just miss seeing the little guy already! He's due a feed on Tuesday 21st, that will be the 5th day I have had him home. Shall I take him out and try the feed, or shall I wait an extra 2 days so he's had his week to settle? |

Edit - I forgot to say - he most likely will be moving around, he'll just wait until you are definitely not around! We'd find things had moved around the viv the next morning even though we never saw her lol! |

Hey guys, thanks for your replies! I just have a quick question, I know I only bought him home yesterday, but when we first put him in his viv he was investigating everything, and checking it all out, but for all of last night, and this morning, he's not moved out from under the coconut shell hide in the middle of the viv.
Is it normal for them to stay for so long in one place? I don't want him to be uncomfortable!
Thanks again :) |
