Corn Snake housing requirements?

[ErikBush97]

Hello, everyone. If you have read any of my previous posts you know that I only own a Ball Python. Well about 10 minutes ago, my friend came to my house and said "look what I found!". Inside was an Albino Cornsnake. he's about 2-3 feet and super tame. he was definitely taken care of pretty good. he's SUPER cold right now so I have him under a heat lamp, in the old glass terrarium I used for my BP. I don't want him to die, or be unhealthy (plus I love all snakes) so I figured I'd take care of him for now, or maybe permanently, if appropriate. I need to know what the heat, humidity, etc requirements are for these guys. I am OUTRAGEOUSLY HAPPY to have the chance to see this guy! :D again... knowing what he needs would really help. he feels like he was in a freezer so he is heating up right now before he gets sick. These guys aren't native (as far as I know) so he was obviously a pet, or from a pet store.

Very simple snakes to keep. More so than a bp.

Warm side 86-89

Cool- 76-80

Humidity should be around 40% then bump up to 65% in shed.

Corn snakes are native to many parts of the US but an albino in the wild probably would not reach that size.

That glass viv is fine for a corn. Add a heat pad or heat tape on a thermostat and you are good to go. Substrate, water dish and 2 hides and your ready. Pics ...always pics :)

Thanks, man. Since I got the snake without notice, I have two hides, a water bowl, no bedding, and a heat lamp. lol Not the ideal setup. However, it's working for now. Some people are saying they think he's albino, some say he's a snow. I don't really care. It's an awesome snake either way. He's very calm when I handle him... Like there's no way he's wild caught... This guy was an escapee. I searched craigslist for about 30 minutes in all possible sections to see if anyone is missing him, but I figured it's more likely that someone let him go. Anyways, I uploaded pics in a newer thread, but I'll post some here, too! Btw, the first two pictures were extracted from a video so they are pretty blurry.

Get some aspen bedding and you probably won't have to worry about sufficient hide spots as he will make his own.

Yup. Aspen is great for corns. They can dig in it too.

Exactly.
