Baby Snake

Ok guys so I'm setting up to get my first corn snake! I have a home made enclosure that I'm fixing up, it's 37" L, 24" W, 24" H perfect for a full grown corn snake with lots of stuff to climb and hide in.

My only issue is I think it would be to big for a baby corn! So any suggestions out there of a not to expensive something I can use to house a baby corn till it gets big enough that I can use the big enclosure?

Re: Baby Snake

I may get kicked for saying this...but a 10 gallon fish tank with a screen lid and a UTH should be fine for a while. If the humidity doesn't get high enough, just put some rubber shelving liner over the screen with some space at one end for air flow.

You can get one cheep on Craigslist or even from a regular pet store.

Congrats and good luck =)

Re: Baby Snake

I wouldn't worry about the large setup as long as you have plenty of hides it will be fine.

Re: Baby Snake

Oh is it one of those 10 gram or so babies? If so I understand that and it may be a bit hard to find in there. In that case id 2nd what minkness said grab a cheap 10 gal till it gets big enough to find in the one you made.

Re: Baby Snake

Ok sounds good. Can you give me a rough size estimate the snake should be before I put it in the large enclosure? I want to do this right!

Re: Baby Snake

Size doesn't really matter, as long as you're confident it can't escape! As long as it has enough hides, you can move it whenever you feel like it. Meaning, whenever you are confident the snake has reached a size, that you'll still be able to find the little shoelace

Re: Baby Snake

"The little shoelace" that's awesome!

Thanks for the advice wrecker, the only reason I want a baby is because of the bond you can create. Where I live I have to ship in a snake (no one sells them around here) so I can't hold/catch to see how tame it is. I figure if I get a baby it can grow with me and I can tame it that way.

Re: Baby Snake

One more quick question, has anyone ordered from either LLLReptiles or BHBReptiles?

I've heard some good things about them so I'm just looking for personal experience with those companies.

Cornsnakes are one species that can truly thrive in a glass tank with little or no modification. One reason they are such a n awesomebbeginner snake. Husbandry is very easy and forgiving.
