Hi,
We have today bought our first cornsnake. He is (calling him a he) called Milo, I found your forum looking for advice, as our pet shop didn't have a care sheet to hand, and said they'd email it, but I couldn't wait to make sure all the info I had was correct.
Am really excited, having to stop myself from peering in the tank to make sure he is okay every five minutes.

Welcome Alicat. You're one step ahead of me. I joined the forum a few weeks back and have been reading up on all the info and will hopefully be getting my first corn in a day or two. The guys here have been very friendly and very helpful to me and there's loads of new info every day.
Good luck with the settling in period. Apparently you're supposed to leave them a week to settle before trying to pick them up - I can imagine that's going to take a lot of willpower!

| Welcome to a fantastic forum Alicat. There are some very experienced owners on here willing to share their knowledge and their advice, and as Tizzy has already said there is no such thing as a silly question here. Fun and friendship are added bonuses! Need to warn you that pics of your snake as soon as poss is an unwritten forum rule! ;-) xxx |

Hi All,
Thanks for the welcome. I have already read the caresheet- is how I found the site, found it really helpful. The shop we went to, didn't tell us to wait to feed it, but think that we will follow your advice.
It is going to be a struggle not to get it out, moreso for my bf, but we want to make sure he settles in, and is healthy and happy.
Read on another site, that tap water can be dangerous to lickle snakes, is this true, and should we buy bottled or a filter? |

| Have heard some owners use bottled water but I have always used water straight from the tap without any problems. Think you will find many different opinions on what is 'right' and I am not sure if there is a right answer to your question. xxx |
