Hi guys,
For the last 4 or 5 weeks my corn has taken to hiding inside some ornamental rocks in his viv (the hollow rock formation things you can buy in most shops). He hardly ever comes out unless its dinner day. He used to be really active, especially later in the evening, but now I hardly ever see him unless I take him out for some exercise.
Do you think it's anything I should worry about, or is he just being anti-social??

Its also cold at the moment so most people snakes are inactive.

the shorter daylight hours along with the decrease in ambient temperature might be making your corn think about brumating, alternatively, a well fed corn tends to just sit and wait for his next meal to be handed to him, you could try increasing or varying the number of days between feeds

Good thnking GP. I do tend to do things to a steady routine so I'm going to try varying feed days and see how it goes.
Thanks again everyone, it's good to be back!
