Hi, I'm new to corn snakes but I already keep a royal python, so I'm not that new to snake (even though I got my royal in January lol)

First of all I've only had him/her since 7pm (uk time) yesterday and put him/her straight into a 2ft vivarium but I thought the gap in between the glass was too wide as he/she looks TINY!
So I put some cardboard in between the glass just to make sure he/she doesn't come out but I left about an inch of cardboard as I didn't think he/she would get out, like a new snake owner I checked on her alot to see if he/she was ok, then I went to bed and when I woke up this morning REALLY tired, but for some reason I went straight to the cage and looked in the coconut hide and to my shock SHE/HE WAS NOT THERE! I was frantically searching everywhere (even my mum who hates snakes was worried as she thought the dog would eat him/her, but like usual she was probably asleep haha) and I looked under some plastic bags and she was just sitting there, then tried to escape again aha.

I've decided to put her in a rub until she grows big enough to be put back in the 2ft vivarium and as an adult she will be going into a 4ft vivarium that I've already got.


Secondly I'm trying to think of a name? I'm thinking of ash, so if it's a boy I obviously call him ash but if it's a girl a can call it Ashley.
I like other names but because I don't know the sex I have to come up with unisex names.


Third and final question,.. how do you sex a 2 month old hatchling corn?
I cannot pop or probe snakes, I just go with what the person tells me.
The guy I bought him/her off said he didn't know how to sex snakes but I told him could he try find a female by looking at there tails?
Well, my brother went to pick him/her up and the guy said "these two are females"?
When my brother brought him/her to mine and I looked at the tail and it looks quite long? Does that indicate it's a male?


Sorry for a long post..



Thanks in advance
