To anyone thinking of getting a Cornsnake, they do not need UVB light so you do not need any type of bulb for these guys.

yes, LED or decor lights are fine for viewing purposes.

Honestly, if you buy a thermostat, some aspen, and one more hide, the starter kits aren't actually too bad. It would be cool to see some extra enrichment thrown in there like sticks or cork bark or something.

@ThatsSoReptii 3 жыл бұрын

Totally agree! Cork bark and some grapevine would be a great addition to this kit, but I dont think theyd ever add anything else to it lol.

@offended9081 3 жыл бұрын

Aspen isn’t the best for corn snakes, but yes I agree, this kit is quite good. Also you can use that moss and create a small enclosure with a very high humidity for the snake when it’s shedding

I picked up my cage on Facebook marketplace and I don't think I paid more than $50 for the entire setup and I got the double light fixture and a nice size cage about 2 ft by 40 in, a heat mat that came with a thermostat. Once you buy all that stuff you're pretty well set up that's the most expensive part of keeping a snake. And my corn snake does love to burrow so I put in 4 in of snake Aspen bedding. He seems to really like it. I have two hides a warm hide and a cool hide they were open on both ends so I closed off one and with some meat trays cut out to size and a hot glue gun and he did push out one end it's kind of cute but I think he likes the completely enclosed hide except for one entrance. Another important thing that you need is a digital thermometer that keeps track of your daily high and daily low and of course the humidity in the cage they recommend corn snakes be kept at 40% to 60% relative humidity

@nightinggale6470 Жыл бұрын

Keep in mind that heat mats aren’t a good primary heat source, overhead heating is much better for them. Corns benefit from 65-75% humidity, they’re native to humid regions such as Florida. I’d also upgrade to a 4x2x2’ enclosure or larger, the enclosure should be at least as long as the snake and 40” typically isn’t long enough for an adult corn.

You know you can take a clear piece of plastic and put it in the sticky side of your heat mat and that way you can move it around there should be any reason why it should move anyway. Not sure why they put sticky on it but I would just put some clear plastic sheeting over that and not use the adhesive for the reasons that you just noted

I would get a large ceramic water dish that's approximately 6 in around in about 3 in deep because your corn snake can easily walk knock over a small water dish and those small flat ones dry out in just a day or two. And you don't want that to ever happen

Just letting you know: heat mats 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 IRA and IRB 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 would not wipe down the tank at all. I would actually hose it off with a garden hose or in the tub or sink to make sure you get off of any chemical coatings on the glass. During COVID for some reason a lot of me manufacturers started to spray harsh chemicals on everything and while it didn't work they may be some of those products left around so make sure that you rinse everything thoroughly with warm water. Try to use avoid the use of chemicals other than vinegar and water actually chlorine bleach isn't even good to use in an animal tank

1. Can you put the heat pad under some newspaper in the enclosure as we will need to get a bigger tank in 9 months or so? 2. Where do you put the thermostat probe? Thanks

@ThatsSoReptii 3 жыл бұрын

Heat pad should always go on the under OUTSIDE part of the tank, that way there is a layer of glass/plastic separating it so your reptile doesnt get in direct contact with the pad. As for the bigger enclosure, youll really only need to change the tank once. Baby enclosure, as youve said around 9 months, and then the adult enclosure. The thermostat probe is what enters the tank. Place the probe ideally in the area your snake will be, above the heat pad ofcourse. For example; heat pad on underside of enclosure, not inside however Layer of substrate (newspaper, aspen, paper towel etc) Thermostat probe ABOVE heating pad area And finally, place a hide over the heat pad zone, covering the probe as well. Hope i explained well, let me know if you have any more questions!

this is equivalent to a 20 gallon, which is the bare minimum for 1 adult corn snake. Would it be a good size for its whole life? In my opinion its good for juvenile to subadult, but youll want around a 40 gallon enclosure for an adult (Exo Terra 36x18x12)
