Ok, that sounds good. thanks again everyone for the information! humidity hides I can do, as I have one for my ball python. I was a bit short on info for caring for my ball python (although he is now a very happy and healthy BP), so I am really trying to make sure I got everything covered if I get a cornsnake, which I plan on. One more question (for now), what substrates should I use. I don't want to use paper towels or newspaper, because I like the tanks to look nice, and when I get the corn, I will only have 2 snakes, so its not really a problem to get something nicer. would reptile bark be ok? I have also heard aspen is good for them because they do not require the extra humidity, but if repti-bark is alright, I already have some of that on hand already.
