Yes, most of my corn snakes are already tame!!
This is because as soon as they hatched, I handled them, so they are used to humans.
If you did want to buy one, I can give you as much information as you want. |

| Sorry I posted that without meaning to! Was going to say yes George we are really interested in buying one - would we need to get our vivarium now or would it be too big for a baby? How long do they stay in the plastic boxes on average? Also what else should we have to hand apart from the frozen mice? Was going to get a vivarium from local reptile shop in Crystal Palace or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks so much. |

You would't need to get a vivarium yet. At the moment, I have them in small tubs, but when you get one it would probably be best to move it into a slightly larger tub.
People normally say, when the snake gets to the length and one side of the tub long, you should move it into a larger tub.
You should probably move it into 3 different sized tubs before it goes into a vivarium. It should go into a vivarium after about 1/5 a year, to a year.
A 3ft vivarium is plenty of room. Maybe even a bit smaller, but not a 2ft vivarium. About 2 and a half, to 3 ft.
They eat pinkie mice at the moment, but when full size, should go to large mice. They are available in most pet shops, or on the internet.
Just reply again for any more information. |

| Thank you - silly question but what kind of tub? I saw a starter kit for hatchlings which was basically a plastic vivarium with heat mat, thermostat etc - don't they need all that now? What colours do you have left, the one you are holding in the 2nd photo of your original post is gorgeous. When could we come and pick it up? |

You can pretty much keep them in any tub, like lunch box, or you can get proper hatchling boxes, but they must have plenty of holes in. There are 2 snakes of mine that have fed 4 times, so it would be best if you go for one of them.
They are £30 each, and you can pick them up from now to Sunday, then Im going away for a week, or after I go away if you want.
Only a quarter of what ever the snake is in has to be heated by a heat mat. But that's all you need. Having a thermostat is optional. But just an extra cost.
Just make sure you let me know when you can pick it up, and I will give you my address through e-mail.
Thanks. |

Hi George
Just to say thanks, Daisy is lovely and tame. We all had a nice cuddle this evening and put her in a smaller tub than the one we had with us, with lots of airholes, water and two little hides. Hopefully she will be ok there till her viv arrives. She seems really happy and calm we love her already. Hope you have a good holiday, will let you know how she is getting on when you get back.
Thanks again (sorry we were late too)
