Corn snake husbandry

[DeadlyDesires]

Hello,

I will be ordering those 2 corn snakes i talked about a few months back from a friend on friday :D ill also be going out and buying all the stuff i need as well so i can have it all ready when they get here... just a few quick questions... they will be babies (only have eaten twice im assuming) so i was wondering about humidity? what kind do they need? also heat temps and stuff would be great please :D thanks.

Most people recommend 6 months of quarantine

If you have hides that are large enough for the corns for thwir entire lives, you should also think about getting some small tight ones as well. They will feel more secure in something they have to wedge themselves in. I've used empty cardboard macaroni boxes etc in the past. Congrats on your new snakes!

Rsther than buying new hides stuff the bigger ones with sphagnum moss, all three of my corns use their moss hide more than the "empty" ones even tho the empty ones are small enough to be tight fitting.
