I would search but my laptops playing up, sent my other half to the reptile shop 2 days ago to stock up on mice, low and behold he comes home having forgotten mice and instead with a 6 month old jungle corn, he didn't realise it was a cross with a king, anyway I have housed this snake my 3 year old has lovingly called yo-jo-jo, and he is in the same conditions as all my under a year old corns, in a faun heat mat, thermostat, thermometer blah blah you know the drill. Will this be ok? Does he need a different temperature, any different thing to corns? Also how big do these things get? He is very cute but I have no idea what to do with him and laptop is not helping. Wish I was consulted but hey...please help, Vick xx

Congratulations on your new addition. Looking forward to seeing some pics if him.

I think the care of a jungle corn is the same as a normal corn. I have heard that they tend to have the king snake's cannibalistic tendencies, so co-habiting jungles with other snakes is definitely out.

husbandry-wise i'd just treat it as a corn

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos
