Hi guys.Just got my first set up for a baby corn and just wanted to ask (the obvious) but I take it that it's necessary to deep clean everything on first setup? Thanks.

My first was a Carolina. Was going to hold out for an amel stripe or lavender, but I went into the pet shop to ask some questions and there was a little face peering back at me and I couldn't resist. That was 3 and a half years ago now haha

Thanks Razee and Kellog. Hoping to set up the Viv later.

It's hard to predict how long a snake will be on a certain prey item because they all grow differently. Razee has given you the best 'guide' there is .

Generally, when the fluffs don't leave a bump ( or almost don't leave a bump ) after the food has settled in the stomach, it's time to go to hoppers :-)

Sorry should read Carolina not Caroline. Stupid predictive text.

Collecting Caroline corn next week. Can't wait. Another question how long will he be on fluffs for? (That's what he's currently eating)

I would, and I'd certainly use a reptile friendly disinfectant, as many normal disinfectants leave a residue that can be toxic to snakes. Failing that, bleach solution is very good, as bleach disintegrates after cca 24 hours, and doesn't leave a residue ( obviously, rinse well, whatever you use ).

Tis the most exciting times, preparing a new set up for a new snakey :-) enjoy :-)

Should be in the next week or two. Want to find a suitable one but not sure which morph yet.

I did, Dave. It may be a bit of extra work but it's worth it for peace of mind. When are you getting your little one?
