Tiny snake Cage

[Patrick Long]

If you have any of the small c-clamps used to clamp wood to the workbench, those work well. I have two on either long side of my girl's enclosure. She couldn't get out if she tried, although she's way too lazy to try and get out... Lazy bum

I just went out and got Hector a new 5 gallon rubbermaid...But I'm not sure, how to drill holes in it...Because the top is like....way to hard...Should I just drill, super super tiny holes everywhere on the upper sides? I'll just put some weights on there....on top..But thanks anyway... :D

I wouldn't drill holes in the top, it will let too much humidity escape. Drilling or you can use a soldering iron(in a well-ventilated room) are both good ways to put holes in the sides. You just have to be careful with the drill because it can crack the plastic if you press too hard and not let the drill do all of the work. I would do about 10-15 holes on the long sides and maybe 5-10 on the short sides.

Hope this helps some.

That helps sooooo much.XXXX__XXXX

But...How do I get the heat into his new rubbermaid? It's super super small...It fits him like....PERFECT.

I would use a heating pad(human heating pad WITHOUT AUTO SHUTOFF will work until you can get something more suitable). Lamps tend to dry out the air more and not create enough belly heat that snakes need to digest their food. I would put the heat pad underneath 1/3-1/2 of the cage and set it on low. I am not too sure about what temps Corn snakes need to be at, but I would say if it goes over 90 on the warm side(above the heat pad) then it is too warm. You should measure the temps with a digital thermometer, and you can get a good one at WalMart for about $7-$10. They are located in the outdoor thermometer/air conditioning section. The analog dial-type thermometers you can buy at pet stores are not accurate, and you could be burning or freezing your snake and not know it.

Brandon (you out there?) are 85warm/75cool good temps for a corn snake? Hectorthesnake, check out the corn care sheet here: http://www.ball-pythons.net/modules....warticle&id=12
