| Corn snakes need to be left alone totally for at least 1 week when you first get them. This gives them a chance to settle in and get used to their new environment with you. You just need to change the water during this time and remove any poops but do not disturb the snake. After a few days he will start to come out and explore his new home. What sort of set up have you got for him? :) |

| Well i ordered a vivarium but it hasnt come in time so his in a large clear storage tub with air holes soldered in, his got two large fake silk plants next to both hides, a stick that goes from the top to bottom so he can climb it, and a large water bowl bigger enough for him to fit in, and i use aspen bedding. and when we do get the new vivarium when i switch him to that will i have to let him settle again? |
