Just got home with my baby corn. No pic's yet as its gone straight to its hide. Little silver and black one. Fell in love the second I saw it. Cant believe I have to wait till the weekend to have another hold (but I know its for the best).
Anyway enough of my brooding over a snake. Great forum and feel very confident now how best to look after the snake.
Will post some pic's when I can.

Welcome to the site, Rik.
I am glad you are leaving your little one to settle in, it will appreciate it and be a lot calmer when you finally do get to handle it.
It sounds to me like you have an anery corn snake, one of my personal faves so i do look forwards to the pictures.
Enjoy the site, ask questions and feel at home. |

Hi and welcome! Congratulations on the new arrival! We know from experience that the first week feels like an eternity!
Looking forward to seeing the pics and finding out what you call him/her.
Feel free to ask anything - no question is too silly when it comes to the care of any pet!  |

Welcome to the forum Rik! You will find that this is a great place with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also gets lots of fun and friendship as a bonus. Glad you know about the 'one week rule', it is very necessary for the snake to get over the stress of the move and to get used to its new surroundings. Just change its water daily and straighten the substrate, this means your corn can get used to your smell without feeling threatened. A few other points:
1. Make sure you read the care sheet on here, lots of information for new snake owners.
2. No question is regarded as a silly question on here.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!
3. I hope you got as much info about your snake when you got it....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diary', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even note when Kellog poos!!
4. You have already complied with the forum's unwritten rule - pics as soon as possible! Well done! A beautiful strikingly coloured snake, by the way.
I know you have only just picked your snake up, but I will warn you now that corn snakes are addictive.....and yes, the majority of us have stood up, said "hello my name is **** and I am addicted to corns........! And I am proud of it!" You have only just started down that path!!

Well it certainley aint shy. Have had to put a ladder in. It kept climbing up the tank and falling down to get to the ventilation round the top. Very inquisitive and active. Tested the whole of the tank to escape today (the snake did). The Mrs love's it too and we have named him/her Khan (yes like Jungle Book). Thankyou for the hello's back, fell very welcome. Anyway couple more pics of baby Khan.
