Just got this today; first time snake handler :) Just curious to see what morph it is. From the morphing guide it looks like a normal morph to my untrained eyes, but thought some expert advice would make things more convenient!

Good enough for me :) Thanks Mate !
Should be visiting the forums quite often from now onwards. The pet shop owner gave me a single tank (the one in the pic, not so large), and didnt tell me what sex it is and whether i should use a seperate feeding tank and whatnot. I honestly forgot to ask him for the details at the time, so i have a few questions which I hope i'd get answered in order to increase my knowledge of the species :)
Again, thanks a lot mate! :) |

Not a problem. There are plenty of sticky threads at the top of each forum section that cover the majority of common question, so they're always worth a read.

| Hi and welcome to the forum. As Dan said a lovely normal. Have you taken everything out the faun for the picture or is that how you have it set up? |

Thanks :) No only thing I added was a water bowl at the moment. Whoever sold me the thing didn't tell me to get a place for it to hide in/under; which is worrying me now that apparently everyone has some sort of hiding place for their snakes while mine somehow managed to get under the watering bowl for some humidity and shade.
Apparently ill need to get a whole new viv. Or just get a larger 15 gallon custom one made evven though the store owner told me the one i have is enough for its size (is it me or is he just retarded when it comes to snakes?) |

It's hard to judge the size of that enclosure from the picture, but it is advisable to have at least 2 hiding places, one at the warm end and one at the other. Toilet roll tubes are perfect for small/young snakes.
How are you heating the tub? |

I'm not, he told me to buy the heating next september (here its always over 30 degrees-ish, especially indoors with all the tech stuff i've got switched on).
When the snake feels hot it just hides under the water bowl for dampness, but thanks for the idea, i'll use a toilet roll as a hiding place :) |

Whereabouts are you that it's 30 degrees indoors all the time?! It must be so uncomfortable! :P I would die lol.
30 degrees is actually too warm for a corn snake, they require 27-29 as a maximum. And they only want/need to be warm some of the time, so they should have a cool area to go to as well when they choose. You want your set up to have a gradient of temperature spanning from the low 20's to 29 basically, so the snake has the choice.
It's a bad idea for your snake to use dampness as a way of cooling itself, because I've been told it can lead to respiratory infections. They're not meant to be wet for much of the time.
Do you know what type of wood those chips are made from by any chance? |

Well I live on a hot island (Malta) and minimizing the temperature is something I cannot do (no a/c in the room the snake's in) but i'm sure that if it hides in the damper parts of the viv, it would be around 25'ish or less probably.
Also, no I have no idea what the chips are made of, as the shopkeeper just poured some and sent me off xD
But yeah, I'm pretty sure the viv it's in isnt close to being as good as such a beautiful snake deserves, will probably get a custom one done in the coming weeks :)
Thanks for the help guys, appreciated! |

| Ok, so I would swap the chips for kitchen roll, if its like what you would use for a rabbit. Get any sort of butter tub or toilet roll to use as hides, no part of your snakes enclosure should be damp. |
