Hatchling Size

Thinking about obtaining my first corn...
I saw some great examples at a local show and was converted!
I have an opportunity to pick up a month old hatchling in June (still in the egg now!) But is that too small/young to be moving and stressing out a hatchling corn?

I've had week old corns that hadn't been fed shipped to me without issue. Most breeders will try to get 3-5 meals in a corn snake before they sell it. Typically a corn is ready for sale in 3-4 weeks after hatching.

I would make sure the animal is eating. Make sure the breeder gets a few meals in the snake before you bring it home.

they are pretty tough little snakes. i would wait until their first shed and a few successful meals, like others have said.
we got "infants" that were kinked and not fully expected to survive shipped to us. it was touch and go for a bit but they're doing awesome now even.

Thanks all. All going smoothly it should have time for three or four feeds before I’d get it.

So what morph are you getting?
