Hi. This maybe a stupid question but is it normal for corn snakes to be visible 24/7? I've had him 10months and he's always been one to hide under his bedding/water bowl etc and only come out for the odd bit at night.
But for the last 3 days he's been constantly visible sat in the corner lookin out to us |

| One of mine is always out and about, the only exception being when he's shedding or the 48 hrs after he's been fed. Sounds like you have a nosy snake, I wouldn't complain!! :-) Always worth just double checking your temps ect just to put your mind at rest |

| I was thinking maybe he's feeling too big for the faun he's in? As I noticed last time he squeezed under his water bowl is was lob sided an was pretty obvious he was there |

| As a general rule once they are longer than the lenght and width of the daun then they are ready to move up a size. Theres on reason why you can't up grade to a bigger viv, just make sure that it is escape proof and that there is plenty of cover so snakie feels nice and secure. |

Just thought I'd drop in to let you (and everyone else) know that there is no such thing as a stupid question.
In fact there is, a stupid question is a question that doesn't get asked. 
If anyone has a question, but doesn't want to ask it because they think it may be daft, then ask it.
Although, I think somewhere back through the mists of time, we did decide that the only daft question that's ever been asked is :
"I have an empty viv, what shall I do with it?" That answer is obvious, FILL IT!!

| Lol I just wasn't sure people would offer there opinions etc. But thank you! I think he is longer than the length plus width. Il have to measure him soon. I fed him earlier and he alway hides after he's been fed until he's digested. But he's out and being Nosey. I'm not complaining it's just it's soo not like him |

The only stupid question that exists and I keep on seeing (thankfully not on this forum) is "is my royal a morph?" 99.9999999999999999% of the time it is a normal  |

| Well it seems he is too big for the faun!! I checked on him this morning and panicked thinkin he'd escaped but he was stretched out along the top and he's longer than the back and 1 side of the faun. So hopefully the partner is gona take me to get a spot bulb guard for my 5ft viv I have waiting for him |
