Hatchling cornsnake housing
Similar to the cage Invictus posted earlier - we have converted a 6 foot cage that previously housed a boa into a 'nursery' for the baby corns. It is heated with heat rope supported on a wooden panel in a back and forth pattern that provides diffuse heat along the back of the cage - like a radiant heat panel. It is controlled by a rheostat. There is a slight gradient from 79 degrees at the front of each tub to 83 degrees at the back near the heat, and the whole cage drops by 5-7 degrees at night.
The hatchling tubs have records on the front - color coded for gender (boys are blue) and girls by morph (amel - red label, snow-yellow label, ghost - green label) with number and name. Red dots show dates of feeding and blue dots show shed dates - easier to know how many big pinkies and how many day-old pinkies to thaw on feeding day.
The inside of the tubs is paper towel, a water bowl and a 5 inch length of plastic tube for them to hide in - most of the use it almost all the time - this is a little ghost girl from Mark Isbell - coming out of her tube - hoping for a pinky.

Nice set-up Mary! I think it's such an efficient way to house so many little ones.

Thanks everyone for the comments. The set up is working very well - stable temperatures and all babies are feeding and shedding like clockwork. Seems to help keep humidity up too - relatively large water bowl for the small containers and all shed have been perfect. I always worry about the tail tips in these little guys,
I really like the cost savings - it is an 80 watt heat rope that we are running at about half strength - so as Invictus and RedDragon said - very efficient.
