Hi everyone
I got my first corn Milton last saturday on the 2nd of oct, i let him settle in and make himself at home, and i fed him his first pinkie on the 7th of october in which he had no problem taking, but now he has been in his hides since, im getting slightly worried i have checked his temps and everything is fine :( im worried in case poor Milton is ill or am i being an over worried pleb, hopefully its the latter lol
thanks

hatchies spend most of their time hidden away, its nothing to worry about :) |

its normal for them to rest and digest their meal, he might appreciate smaller hides too to make him feel more secure |

It's perfectly normal for snakes to hide away after being fed to digest their meal.
No you're not a pleb! We all understand how much of a worry it can be having a new snake. We all had those worries with our snakes too! I still get anxious over mine sometimes, and don't care who knows it, I flap about over them like an old mother hen!! 
I'm sure Milton will be fine with such a caring owner.  |

Yeah the white stuff is part of the poo ;)
Understand your worries, I'm that way too xD My snakes = my babies <3
He's probably out when your not looking, and most corn snakes are just active during the night.
Does he have some plants, different hides and such in his viv? |

Hey sika thanks for the reply
I have spot cleaned his tank, but it have been like a white stuff, my bf told me he popped his head out for a bit when i was at work then went back into his hide and hasnt been seen since, i guess because he is my first snake im alittle worried bout him, he is my baby afterall lol |

Shouldn't be anything wrong.. Has he pooped yet?
After feeding my snakes stay hidden two to three days, then they poop and are active again :)
And this time they stayed hidden even longer, so I checked and they were both blue in shedding :)
But I think Milton is just digesting and enjoying the heath... see if he doesn't show himself tomorrow after dusk :) |
