I got my first corn snake a little over a week ago (go me! ), is it normal for them to not move for hours on end? Now dont get me wrong i wasnt expecting her to do somersaults around the viv (at least not until i find a tiny little circus trainer to teach her! lol) but i thought she would have to move more often to regulate her temperature?
welcome, yes it is very normal for corns to stay hidden, unless you can watch them for 24 hours a day you wont know what they are upto when you are sleeping so she may be moving about then.
Also as you have only had her a week it is normal for them to hide away to settle in to the new housing they have.
Read through the caresheet on the homepage to the website, you will get some good info to start with.
Heavens - yes. I'm surprised the lazy little gits don't get bedsores!
Seriously, yes, they are very sedentary - or they can be one week - and then the next they'll be banging on the viv window and clamouring for armchair walkies.
you should try live with my karma only time i see her is when she eats and when im playing xbox!! (she's nosey) lol she just loves her sleep lol. corns love to hide away and be in there little place where they can feel safe. thats why i love my karma cos she is like me she loves her ME time lol self centered lol
Dont really see her move much...
