Ive just bought my first corn snake, hes lovely but was a bit distressed whilst andling him transfering him into the viv. hes about 6mnth old and struck out, is this just nerves of a new environment? should a settling in periods of 3 days or so be ok before handling? also hes not been out of his hide yet in 2 days is this ok being in a new place and all?
thanks

When my corn snake becomes an adult what size should the viv be for 5ft snake?? Also what do you feed a corn snake as it gets older and bigger from hatchling to adult? So many other sites say different things...By the way thanks for the other information guys...Cheers
Mmmm, well, there are so many opinions on size of vivs - me, I'm of the lots of room and lots of hides school, but there are plenty of people who'll disagree with that ... As for feeding, I always thought that they progressed nicely from pinkie to fuzzy to small mouse and so on ... They don't. A young snake on pinkies will sometimes feed and then nuzzle round for more, as if to say, 'was that IT?' The answer to that is to feed two pinkies, and eventually sometimes three, by which time snakey will have grown big enough to move on to fuzzies, and so it starts again.
A good rule is to work out one and a half times the snake's girth and don't feed prey bigger than that.
They are all different, and develop in different ways. I do find this a very helpful forum, though, with good advice. All the best. |

go on photobucket click on the pic you want,on the left there will be a box that says IMG code, click on that... it should then say copied
open up a new post on the forum then right click the mouse(i think its right n e ways!) and paste. Don't know if i explained that very well but hope it helps!!!! :] |

Thanks Danny and Jamie - I've got some pics of Cy already on photobucket - what I can't work out is - do I start posting and then access pics from pb or go to pb BEFORE I post? Haven't worked that one out yet ...
And it's getting late - I don't expect detailed answer at this time of night!
Thanks again. |

i had the same problem, sign up to photobucket its free. upload your images then theres an image code/html thingy below your image its the last in the list of about 5. one copy and paste it in your post and when u hit send it will turn the code/adress into the image., any probs dont hesitate to ask. sorry if it doesnt make sense.

Edit: if you want to do that my email address is danny-b-2007-[AT]hotmail.co.uk replace the AT with @.

Normals/Carolinas can vary greatly in appearance. If you upload some pics im sure somebody could tell you wether Cy was indeed a miami or a normal.

Thanks that really helpful. I think around 8mnths old judging by my other two size wise. and i appreciate the knowledge as im still learning, i hope its a miami variation. the pictures dont realy do justice his markings are so bright and vibrant. id love to see any pics
of your snakes if you have any. cyclops sounds a little gem. im glad hes gone to a good home. there are that many morphs i want to own them all they are wonderful and adictive. lol

Yeah, I like it here myself
I read that Miamis, the original native corn of Miami, were 'maroon and pearl grey' but I understand that Serpenco in America have done a lot of breeding with this 'phase' or morph.

But I'm really ignorant about morphs, so hope someone will be along soon with more knowledge! |

He looks like a normal, possibly okeetee. How old is he? |

Been having a laugh at your adventures with censorship ... I once typed the word ****tail ... umm ...yes. Censored-a-doodle-doo!
Realise we do have to have some kind of filter system, but ... lol!
Pleased to meet you, by the way. I have five corns and a **** python!
