Posted - 14/11/2009 : 04:59:51 Welcome to the forum Grizzly Bear! You have found a great place with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also gets lots of fun and friendship as a bonus. Not sure how much snake info you already know but would suggest the following:
1. Hopefully you will have already been told the one week rule - leaving the snakes to get over the stress of their move and settle into their new surroundings by leaving them without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way they gets used to your smell.
2. Make sure you read the care sheet on here, (http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm) lots of information for new snake owners. Also helpful is this topic http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4133.
3. No question is regarded as a silly question on here.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!
4. I hope you got as much info on your snakes when you bought them....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diaries', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. 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 poos!!
5. As Hillzi mentioned, pics are appreciated, in fact it is an unwritten forum rule! Love your snakes names, by the way.
It sounds like you have already found how addictive corns are as you have immediately got 2! And yes, majority of us have stood up, and said "Hello, my name is **** and I am addicted to corns........! And I am proud of it!" But I will warn you that you have only just started down that path!!

PS - Sorry GB, just read your post about feeding so have discovered that you have had at least one of your snakes for a while. Sorry if I have repeated stuff you already know!
