| That's a fine size, baby snakes don't like big enclosures very much. Naah, one of my babies is a bit manick, and the others are quiet. They're all different :D |

Thanks for the advice.
I am so pleased that you will be separating them, I always get very worried when I see corns living together, especially babies - it is a case of the sooner the better.
What sort of set-up do you have for them? I know you are using coconut substrate, which I dont have any experience of. Most of us use aspen or a hemp based substrate.
Are you using a heatmat with a stat to control the heat and do you have a digital thermometer to monitor the exact heat? Do you have a hides at each end of the tupperware box you have them in? Sorry if you know all this but it is just reassuring for us to check....otherwise we worry about your snakes  !
Have a read of this thread, it is really good at showing you how to do a set up for a hatchling - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9878
4 weeks is definitely very young to have bought them, I am just glad that they have fed for you once so at least you know they are not problem feeders. I THINK you would not normally buy hatchlings that young....
They are stunning and it is lovely the way you can easily tell the difference. I cant wait to see more pics of them.
Why dont you head over to the Introductions section so we can all say hi to you officially ?!

At the moment they have a shared hide as my one put his in the water bowl last night and ruined it lol but will sort that out on Friday. My nice has been using coconut for 5 years with no problem so that's why i use it I'm just using a small unregulated 7 watt mat underneath about one third of the tub again till Friday and i will be changing it I don't have a digital thermometer just yet do you recommend a digi thermostat or analog with digi thermometer separate? They may be older than 4 weeks the guy fed them 3 times and shed once before we got them.
Thanks for all your help x |
