when i bought morgana, she was 5 months old,( she is 8months old now) she is in a full size viv, i dont have the luxury of spare cash to buy a faun then a viv, she is fine, i have loads of hides, and loads of aspen in the cool end so she and burrow....but she spends all her time purched on her ivy round her branch lol
its never affected her, but no way i would put such a young hatchy in a big viv, i have a spare RUB for cleaning times or why not use an icecream tub with holes drilled in? |

Still a bad idea imo, putting her in a huge space like that will just stress her. No point getting her used to a tank that size, she wont be ready for it for a year at least. She would be much happier and safer in a small tub while you clean out her faun!

Yea i agree with you both there!!!
I lvoe my little snake the size she is and im sooo excited for her to grow, but in her own time safely in her faun .... do you reckon after a faun you should move up to a rub or once they are the size in which the can fit in a run that they will be ok for a viv?? not a massive one though !!
If Kchalice escaped i dont think i'd ever see her again, as my family are not the tidiest family and we have 2 cats, a little dog and a german shepard i think one of them would kill her !!! id be sooo scared!!! |

Yes, babies very much so and even some adults are like that.
I think or I hope I know what you mean, you put her in there to have a roam right with you always being there and looking and then put her back in the faun?
It is a nice looking viv but I would never put a baby permanently in a viv, not even those dinkish 2ft x 1ft ones just because of the chance of escaping although I know some people have been able to do it successfully without any escapees. Just for me I guess I really panic about loosing my snakes! |

faun for a hatchling is great easy to clean and they cant get out, why would you put a 3 week old one in a 4foot "fish" tank.... i wouldnt even put my 7month old in that yet.
lynnem212 that's right my corn is 7 month old and could fit between the glass on a viv easily. |

I was advised when i first brought mine, NOT to put her in a 3ft viv as they can find thier way out through the front glass, so i listened, and ive got her in a faun and its perfect for her... I also heard if they are in a viv too big they can go off food etc?? am i right ??? but it shes on 3 weeks old that tanks WAYYYY toooo big !!!! hope you dont lose her/him!! |

Temporarily????
*Kehhlyr offers other one to pull*
I'm not sure how he/she lost the other but totally agree that this viv is waaaaaay too big for a hatchie!!
You have been offered so much good advice here and in the chat room and have been advised many times NOT to put her in that tank yet you have gone against it and put a 3 week old hatchling corn in a 4ft glass fish tank?
You love your pets?
