Thank you guys in advance, I love getting your guys feedback.

Here is a Pic of her.

What a gorgeous Corn. If I remember, Corns are nearly identical to Kings and Milks in husbandry. 85-86F hotspot with a nice heat gradient and little humidity (water dish and maybe damp sphagnum moss is more than enough). As for bedding I prefer Aspen bedding.

Humidity between 50-75% is where you wanna be at. If you mist the whole cage it can sit at 85-95% for a while with no harm just better to keep it in the mid range because of mold growing in bedding and stuff. What was she being kept on previously?

Congrats on the new corn Chris. She looks really nice. I agree with D Grade on temps and humidity. Kings and corns are pretty similar in terms of husbandry. I keep my warm side at 86ish. Ambient humidity is fine for these guys too.

I agree with D Grade on temps and humidity.

Thanks Zig, I learned from the best. You were a great help when I got my first Colubrid. :D

Congrats on the beautiful corn!

I use aspen for all my snakes, but I don't see why reptibark wouldn't work, though. A lot of people swear by it. As for the humidity and temps, I'm pretty much the same as the others who've already posted. 85-86F warm side, and mid-range humidity. Adult mice make good prey items for these snakes. Feed once every 7-10 days depending on the age. Oh and they seem to like lots of "furnishings" in their enclosure. They're little explorer snakes. :)
