During my wanders around the internet I've noticed loads of corn snake hatchlings for sale, but I stumbled upon reptilekeeping.com today and noticed they had just put all the CB07 'hatchlings' online with implications that they keep the snake for a whole year before selling it on.
Is a year old snake still a hatchling? Everywhere else I've looked, 'hatchlings' have been CB08..
How long do most people leave it after hatching before selling on their baby corns? I was initially under the impression that is was about two months but now I'm not sure!
Also, is there a basic size guide? How long would a yearling be compared to a 2 month old hatchling?
And one more thing! Do corns breed all year round in captivity or is there a 'season'? |

No, an hatchling that's a year old is a yearling.
The only difference is that a yearling is bigger and should, in theory, be more established i.e with eating and stuff.
I usually advise getting a yearling because it's a good age I've found. Hatchlings can be a bit funny and clumsy too.
Corns have a breeding season, but there can be two clutches a year. Basically, the summer is hatchling time. You'll only get older ones in winter. |

Is it a boy or a girl GP?
If it's a girly snake, we'll do a stud deal with Casper when they are older, make loads of little cutie ghosts |

i'm aware of someone that's selling hatchlings at the moment, 13 quid each.
That's hard to resist. |

No Gp- nothing stripey.
I think we need to branch out with more unusual males if we want to run a stud  |

| I keep hinting GP, but Lewy is after tree frogs next. He says we can't have anymore snakes until we've got the study sorted to fit more vivs in |

They can live in a smaller space, because their terrainiums are tall rather than wide. The bit at the bottom is mainly for the pool of water, as they spend a lot of time up in the trees and branches stuff.
I can't see the appeal really, all that faffing about with hydro-thingymajigs and humidity fangama-doodles for a pet you can't even handle!
Surely his toads are 'froggy' enough |
