It looks like we a difference in opinion because I frankly don't like the way corns look. I prefer the ball python
Yeah, I knew I'd get some blow-back on that, posting on the bp board, lol

I remember the bath tub thing, and the only thing that would do is create a stressful situation. Try feeding him in the cage, and if he doesn't want to eat, leave him for a week and try to feed in a separate tub. Not a bathtub. Bathtubs are probably freezing cold, and huge. They are also pretty uncontrolled, and they could slip by you if your not looking.
Yeah, I was thinking about all of that earlier today...the only thing going for the bathtub it is that it's what he's used to. I think you're right, though. We're going to try feeding him tomorrow in his tub, and just see what happens.

Those hides don't look too too small. Did you try guiding him into the hide? He might be able to fit in it all the way.
I came home from work today, and there he was, all squeezed into the warm-side hide, with his adorable little bp head sticking out. He's been there ever since. I really like the hides...they're bed-raisers with holes cut into the side, nice, heavy, and easy to clean, so I think they'll stay. The hides we ordered to replace them are pretty rock-shaped ones, so they might go into the display tank.

I can't wait until he's all settled in and ready to be handled. I've been leaving him alone except for opening up the tub to change his water and look for poo, but I'm already pretty smitten with him. I really like his pattern, and blushing on his back. I'm half-hoping "he" is a female, but the people got him from a Petland, so I think it's more likely a male.

Thanks everyone! You all rock! This is exciting, and we're looking at getting an okeetee cornsnake within the next month or so, so I'm speeding from zero to two snakes in under a month. This could be dangerously addicting.
