baby corns

[Brandon.O]

As some of you know i will be getting a corn fairly soon, i have read tons and tons of care sheets already but is there anything else i need to know about them ? The snake will be a hatchling and they are super tiny.Im getting him from a breeder this time and not the pet store like my BP the snake is feeding on pinkies and he has already ate twice,he/she is 10 days old and super cute,i have plenty of colors to choose from. It is a baby of a snow and candy...wait...a snow and a ghost....grrr i forgot ! well its one of those two so i figured it will be HET for somthing ,what will it be ?

It could be het for a bunch of things. The best way to know is to ask your breeder. He or she will know best and probably answer as many questions as you can throw them . Its always nice to know what genes your herps could be carrying.

thanks, i just found out today after calling the breeder i could go out and get a baby snake today if i really wanted to but she only has 3 left, but she has another clutch that will be hatching in september. Even though i want one right now REALLY BAD september gives me more time to buy everything i need and get all the temps right for my baby. i was thinkin about puttin it in a ten gallon tank, do you think that will be too big for him ? or to small. I dont know how fast corns grow but how long do you think the ten gal will last ?

[led4urhead]

Sounds like a smart idea to me As far as tank size goes ... corns dont usually get bigger than 5' and i would go by the 1 square foot of floor space to 1 foot of snake. I've never had a corn, so i'm not too sure how fast they grow. I think the 10 gal would work for a while at least.

[Brandon.O]

so like a 40 gal will work good for adult size ? how fast do they grow normally ?

[Brandon.O]

any ideas on a name ?? i have been thinkin all day but cant seem to come up with any good ones .

[mlededee]

you gotta wait till you get the snake to come up with a good name. you know, based on its personality and good looks and stuff.

[Brandon.O]

good point, thanks

40 gallon for an adult would work.

I keep my juvenile in a 29-gallon, but she'll be moving up pretty soon. 40 gallons should keep the snake happy for its entire life - but something as small as ten gallons will comfortably house a neonate.
