I may go bio active on this one so I don’t have to worry about cleaning it as much! Hey everybody! Thanks for coming by to watch. I am truly grateful!

what a little cutie! i like Gerald’s name the way it is. we got a 13 year old corn snake about 6 months ago that we recently went fully bioactive with and she absolutely loves digging tunnels! highly recommend The Bio Dude’s Terra Firma substrate if you ever notice your substrate isn’t holding tunnels very well. one thing i will say, as Gerald gets bigger and older, you’ll probably need to uncover the water bowl and set it on top. my corn snake goes for a swim one to two times a day and with the bowl being buried it was super dirty-way too dirty for me to feel comfortable with her drinking it. since uncovering it, her bowl doesn’t get as dirty as quickly and only needs to be changed once a day to every other day instead of twice a day 😊

I have a question for corn snake owners. I thought having damp substrate was bad for them because it can cause scale rot but this guy put plants that require lots of water in the enclosure which can also make the enclosure very humid and I heard corn snakes only need about 40-50% humidity. I'm looking to get a corn snake so I want to clear up some differences in the information I am getting.
@nightinggale64702 жыл бұрын
Corn snakes tolerate a wide range of humidity but benefit from humidity between 50-75%, measured by a digital hygrometer. They’re native to humid regions such as Florida. Wet substrate causes scale rot. It’s fine to have high humidity and a moist substrate as long as the surface isn’t too wet. Pouring water into the substrate and mixing it in is effective.

I have a few tips. The absolute most important thing to do is make sure you have a thermostat hooked up to the heat mat! This is absolutely vital as the heat mat can get to hot and burn your snake so you have to have it hooked up to a thermostat. I also suggest adding 1 or 2 more hides. Most snakes need 1 warm hide, 1 cool hide, and 1 humid hide to help with shedding. I also wouldn't recommend holding them while they are in shed. If he doesn't want to eat for a while, try adding black paper to three sides of the tank to make him feel more secure. He is super cute and I can not wait to watch him continue to grow! He is adorable!
@christopher_scott3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback! I did hook the mat to a thermostat. I used a zoomed reptitemp digital thermostat. I have been looking at expanding the enclosure already to add the additional hides you are referencing! Thanks for always supporting the channel!
@Avocetexotics3 жыл бұрын
@@christopher_scott that's great to hear! I definitely recommend a 40 gallon when he grows some! And eventually you could upgrade him to a 4x2x2 enclosure. I highly recommend zen habitats but there are many great enclosure companies! It is found with corn snakes that you will see alot more natural behaviors ( Basking, climbing, and overall being more active ) when given more space. Seeing how small he is right now, it may be better to wait a little while to upgrade him though. A lot of baby snakes will stop eating when put in to big of an enclosure. If you do upgrade him now definitely try to put a ton of fake plants, live plants, cork bark, and hides to make him had the coverage he needs to feel safe. My absolute favorite thing about your channel is how you are always open to changing things you do for the well being of your animals and how you always research before getting them. Reptiles are a lot of fun and so rewarding to keep! Have fun with this little guy! Also I LOVE the name Marvin for him!

Heat pads are not a good heat source. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin.

I clean it once a week when I feed. I will soak all of the water out of the bowl with paper towels and then will wipe the bowl down with a clean cloth. I then will remove any excrement that may exist. Usually I will dig up the substrate a little bit to make it easier for Gerald to bury himself as he likes to do this. I then remove any plant debris, refill the water dish with water from one of my planted aquariums as it is safe for snakes to drink. Once all of this is done, we will get Gerald out for a little human interaction as his meal defrosts. He then goes back into the enclosure where gets his single pinky mouse for the week.
