I went to the petstore and saw three beautiful snakes. One normal ball python hatchling. Who had shed stuck all over his face and was refusing to eat without any hides. A cute little hognose and a little ghost Corn without any hides.

I almost got the baby ball python to rescue him from certain doom (I don't really trust pet stores), but my husband fell for the corn snake.

He/she has some stuck shed, but just ate reportedly. The petstore is one that will give the snakes out to be held.

They are unsexed, unnamed, and my first corn.

My first impression was this:

Very scared. Both peed on me and let off a strong musk while transferring him from the box to his new home.

His new home is a 20L Tank currently with paper towel substrate for quarantine, warm side is still being adjusted correctly. But ambient temp is at 78-ish. Humidity needs adjusted (at 30%), but I just installed a humidifier into the room so both my snakes should be at proper humidity soon. (My BP had his own) and two hides with a water bowl between them.

Any advice for corn handling? He's much more hyper than Cookie. And very tiny. They said maybe 6 weeks old
