Re: info on corns?
Actually, Wilomn makes an interesting point here. Most of the husbandry do's-and-don'ts around here, for corns or any snake, are learned through reading, hearing, and seeing... not doing (except in the case of large breeders). Furthermore, I'm sure that husbandry methods developed for ball pythons are sometimes cut-and-pasted for other snake species, even if they aren't entirely appropriate.
For example, earlier I posted that corns should have two identical hides to be comfy. That is true for ball pythons, which hide all the time, and it's also the accepted method for most snakes. But to be completely honest, my corn DOES NOT have two identical hides. Why? Because he barely uses them, and usually just makes tunnels under his newspaper. He's also perfectly healthy and eats every week unless in shed. On the other hand, there's probably some corns out there that do best if they have two identical hides. It's always good to remember not to use "cut-and-paste husbandry" and to think of the individual species or snake at hand.
