Hey guys! I am looking into getting a corn snake on Sept. 10th(Reptile expo) and im curios as to the setup i should have. Im reading up on many different things that are required. I am also new to owning a reptile, and i want top get it right lol.
I have a 10 gallon tank that i will put it in(i plan to get a smaller one, and as it grows get bigger tanks). I have a screen top for it.
1. Should i be using a lamp/light or a heat pad, im getting mixed reviews on that.. if its a light, what W is correct? Is it a UVB or just a Bask light. Should i be putting the light on a timer, should i have both a light & heat pad?
2. Is a 10 gallon too small, should i just start off with a 20 then upgrade from there?
3. Whats the best bedding too use, i already use aspen for my pet rats, ive read aspen is good for snakes too.
4. Will the corn snake benefit from having things to climb/slither? up on, is it more of a terrestrial than arboreal.
5. What is a good setup? What kind of setup do you have, what is useful and unuseful in your tanks.
Lmao, alot of questions and i apologize. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond!
