about three weeks ago i put my corn into her new viv from her old starter viv. all she seems to do now is stay under her hide in the cold end. whereas before she would be active in the evenings and stay out for long periods of time. is there anything to worry about?
I wouldn't worry too much. He's just settling in. When I moved my corn up to a bigger viv she sulked for 2 months!
Just remember that they are very territorial animals and this new viv doesn't smell like his yet. He's bond to be a bit nervous until he recognises his new viv as home.
Just keep an eye on him and he'll probably be back to normal in a few weeks
how big is the viv? i didnt actually realise that even a 5ft corn would prefer a 2 ft viv! lol they like small surroundings, ive just put 2 boys in together in a foot viv and they still sulking lol
yes its four foot. i have been told to put alot more hides in there. fill it up a bit. she is feeding ok. and when i pick her up she seems absolutely fine.
yeah i wouldnt worry too much, just try and had more entertaining things to make her feel more comfortable and it may tempt her out. but my corn snake was in her hide for months before exploring the vivarium with confidence and now she doesnt even use the hide anymore lol
oh i forgot to mention, coconuts are very inviting to get snakes to come out for a while. simply drain out the milk and make lots of holes in them, then they can have fun tiwsting in and out of the holes and they have the shelter of staying under the coconut if they suddenly feel unsafe x
