Hi there, new to this and concerned about "Horatio" having a good lifestyle...What do I put in his home to make it an interesting place for him? He spends a lot of time around the rim of his tank, does this mean he's bored?

hides, plants (real or fake but check real ones for toxicity) toilet roll tubes, if there's room you can move his things around to create a different environment.................

hi welcome to the forum. if its in a tank and not a viv switch the heat mat to the other side to keep him on his toes. Anything is interesting to a corn snake. I have things that i witch around every week or so.

Hi - welcome to the forum.
We use lots of bits out of a marble run - Bubbles loves going through the tubes and round the loops - he has spent the last 2 days after his feed sitting in the orange tube! There are so many bits we can change it quite regularly too!

Hiya, welcome to the forum, there's loads of vines and hides on ebay which are quite reasonable. But as above moving things will keep them on their toes, what substrate are you using, burrowing can keep them entertained.

No. I doubt very much that snakes get "bored" as we understand it.He will just be looking for an escape route!
