Nope its very quite and in bedroom and viv is perfect for him in size wise. |

I have stayed awake for the past 3 nights until 5am and he is in the same place. |

you don't know what he does at night.. probably racing around the vivarium!!
Corns are nocturnal so you would rarely see them around in the day time :) |

yeah there is 2 caves one at the heat side and one at the cool side they both the same i guess he just needs more time to settle down after him being stuck in a tiny lunchbox for 2years, i did him a favour for getting him now he has freedom in his viv |

my lil guy was the same-he never shifted from the cool side after feeding.. i put a tub in the hot end with some kitchen towel in and now he hides under that all the time |

the cool side is probably warm enough for him,he will move when he wants to. |

is there is cave or hide on the warm side? still wouldnt worry too much, snakes arent like dogs or cats, they dont actually "like" being around humans, so will be quite secretive. |

Thats my point hes been in the cool side cave since he was fed so he has not had the warmth. |

I fed mine on Tuesday, and he's still in there lol, I just leave him till he wants to comes out.
He usually pops out for a poo and a sip of water then back he goes, lazy bugga |

Ok Thx bud for advise i will will him until he comes out and ill feed as normal. |
| lee2308 |
Posted - 26/07/2009 : 16:13:42
give him his normal feed then 48 hours after you should bo ok for a little handling but keep it to short periods at first |

Posted - 26/07/2009 : 15:42:24
feed as normal i doubt he will become aggressive due to the lack of handerling |

Ok thanks mate i will leave him be until hes ready but will he go aggresive like from not being tamed? until then i will play with dogs haha , wanted to welcome champagne in to the family but its no problem ill wait til hes ready. do i feed him as normal on thursday even if he still does not come out the cave 
On the first 2 days of having him he was extreamly hyper and active in the viv until i fed him last thursday he decided not to come out 
Edited: i cleaned his poo out on friday as normal while he slept in the cool side he pooed two times in the heat side lol |

i wouldnt worry,if he needed heat he would move,no need to wake him,you could just lift the hide to make sure he's ok just toassure yourself,i would wait until he's out and about to handle,i know it's hard to wait but it will pay off in the end

Well on tuesday he will need handling right as it will be 7days in his viv with out being handled so if he does not come out by tuesday do i lift his cave up and take him out to be loved and handled or do i leave him alone until he comes out on his own also he will be fed on thursday. |
