My first corn

[nugod777]

Hello all. I occasionally lurk in the BP sections but this is my first visit to the colubrids. I was at petco and saw the little guy in the picture. Had to buy him. He is very friendly. Doesn't mind handling at all. I did wait the customary week to let him get acclimated. Have him in a tank with uth and a night light. Gotta get a few more items for temp/humidity control but he seems happy so far

Nice looking snow corn .

Cute little snow, my only comment would be to try and feed the little cutey outside the tank. You don't want it ingesting any of that substrate, unless it's a finicky eater they'll eat pretty much anywhere if they're hungry

Thanks for the info on feeding it outside the tank. I have some small plastic containers that I used to use to hold mice before I switched my BP to f/t. I will try feeding it in one of those. They should be plenty big enough for now. =)

How do corns ever survive in the wild eating outside with grass sticks, leaves, and swallowing bones!?

Their digestive systems are designed to solid matter, I think it'll be okay if it does happen to swallow a little aspen.

lol @ Jason.

I have 2 corns and I have always fed them in their enclosures.

Whatever works for you guys, I just know plenty of people who've had impacted corns.
Plus it gives you time to spot clean and do whatever else to their cage while they're out and about.
