Hi all,
I picked Rummy up today, he has no trouble eating and is a very active little snakey. Should check how old he is.

She's a Taiwanese beauty 
All of my corns have grown at different rates haha - as long as they are eating, drinking, pooping and shedding there's not much to worry about growth wise |

Been running around all excited today as Rummy has been out and about a lot tonight. We're pretty sure he's over a foot long. How fast do corn snakes tend to grow? |

No aspen in the viv! On paper towel :) . But have chosen holey socks.
Figs, what type of snake is your Rumplesnakeskin? |

I actually tried to video the Dancing Sock performance then - but couldn't! It was dark, and I was watching with a torch - which wasn't producing enough light for filming - all I got was a dark faunarium. Whenever I put the light on, she stopped. :-(
Baz was only a hatchling then, so all you could see, was a sock, the toe bit up in the air, slowly swaying around the faunarium, only the very tip of Baz's tail poking out. Was really funny, Baz was adamant there must be a way out through the toe.
One bit of advice, though, choose a sock you won't need - you'll have a job getting all the aspen off later :-) |

its great him being confident enough to explore
you dont have to do the sock scent thing, but it might help, and yes its fine to put it in now, get him used to you, and good luck catching him out for a pic! (use ninja stealth ) |

Lovely little snake, I had a scented in sock in with my Jinx when I brought him home it stayed in with him for a few weeks, I eventually took it out as I got fed up of pulling it out of his water bowl! |

That sounds interesting! Is it okay to do that while he's settling in the viv this week?
Assuming that idea is to help the snake get used to your scent and associate it with the comfort of the viv? |

Best decision, if you want him to get used to your scent, you could put a clean sock in your waistband for a for the day, at least a few hours, then put in with him |

Have decided to let him out in the viv today and will leave him a week :) |
| Ruthy |
Posted - 04/09/2013 : 08:50:11
So is it okay for me to spend a couple of weeks starting now getting him used to being handled a bit, then let him have a week to himself after I let him out into the viv?
Will keep an eye out for that pooping. |

No, he needs to get used to his proper home, tub does not count
and be warned that the longer he is handled more chance he will poop, look out for the stop stare, tail lift, you will have that warning to get kitchen roll under him! |

He's still in the same tub he was in at the shop though, does it still count on the getting him used to his surroundings front?
Still learning, but that's why I joined the forum :) |
