Hi everyone
I got my first corn Milton last saturday on the 2nd of oct, i let him settle in and make himself at home, and i fed him his first pinkie on the 7th of october in which he had no problem taking, but now he has been in his hides since, im getting slightly worried i have checked his temps and everything is fine :( im worried in case poor Milton is ill or am i being an over worried pleb, hopefully its the latter lol
thanks

Shouldn't be anything wrong.. Has he pooped yet?
After feeding my snakes stay hidden two to three days, then they poop and are active again :)
And this time they stayed hidden even longer, so I checked and they were both blue in shedding :)
But I think Milton is just digesting and enjoying the heath... see if he doesn't show himself tomorrow after dusk :) |

Yeah the white stuff is part of the poo ;)
Understand your worries, I'm that way too xD My snakes = my babies <3
He's probably out when your not looking, and most corn snakes are just active during the night.
Does he have some plants, different hides and such in his viv? |

It's perfectly normal for snakes to hide away after being fed to digest their meal.
No you're not a pleb! We all understand how much of a worry it can be having a new snake. We all had those worries with our snakes too! I still get anxious over mine sometimes, and don't care who knows it, I flap about over them like an old mother hen!! 
I'm sure Milton will be fine with such a caring owner.  |

| its normal for them to rest and digest their meal, he might appreciate smaller hides too to make him feel more secure |
