Lovely to see her so confident  I have the same viv for Orlando, and use window cleaning spray for the glass, just spray on and wipe with kitchen roll, makes it look lovely and has never caused any problems for the snakes |

It just gets better - have just changed her water, and as per the breeder's request did it slowly, and she had a little go of winding herself round my wrist. I also found her, erm, doings so that is all lovely and cleaned out now. Just going to leave her be now, I think changing the water is going to be more than enough for her first week
She does seem a happy little snow though, it has to be said. |

Yeah, he wasn't that convinced on that one! She is going into blue now, noticed the film coming over her eyes when I changed her water, so going to take it very easy for a couple of weeks as I don't want her spooked, although she is the one making the contact in fairness.
Her viv is on a shelf literally within arm's reach on my left so it is lovely that I can see her most of the time, I just need to catch her drinking as I have missed that so far! She is currently burrowed in the warm side in her coconut shell, much to the children's disappointment. They are going to have to wait, just like I am |

| Ha ha ha, sounds like she is settling in great, so glad you got her home OK. When we got Corno she spent the whole week hiding away - and has done the same ever since lol. Ember on the other hand would shoot her head out of her hide to see what was happening the moment anyone got close to her faun, so it's totally normal and nothing to worry about, they are all different :D |

Thank you smart bunny, when the established forum members take time out to say things are OK it really does make me realize that things are going fine. My husband is totally convinced that she doesn't like him - saying that, he is convinced the cat doesn't like him either!
I think I have just got one nosey and confident little girl, when I changed her water yesterday she had a wander round my hand and then went back to her favourite hide (yup, that settled she has a favourite).
When I put the laptop on this morning, there she was, up against the glass probably wondering what I was writing about her |

| Well, it is official. 5 days into corn snake ownership and I have realized that I have not been sold a corn snake. I have, in fact, been sold a periscope that at 9pm on the dot pops her head out of her Herp Haven hide to watch TV (according to Mr I Hate Snakes, here after known as my husband). You can quite literally set you clock by it. She spends her days sleeping, swimming and rearranging her viv to her tastes and playing with her loo roll. We have a game of "Mummy moves it when she changes my water and I shove it back to where I want it, usually in the way" during the day. We are all totally smitten with her, and even though she is only a baby, really can't imagine life without her already! |
