I've been reading up loads on corn snakes but how do snakes generally thermoregulate their body temps? Just asking because when I look in at Dakota she is hiding under the wood bark thing which is on the cool side. She'll move herself when she's feeling cold, wont she?


Dakota ~ Bloodred Corn ~ Amber & Chloe ~ Cats
Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes.

yup, most reptiles will thermoregulate their body temperature. If you see them constantly staying in one end or the other all the time, it's a sign to adjust your temps. That and what your thermometer says of course
