Hehe, 'Homebase' here in the UK I presume, would be what 'Homedepot' is to you lot - a store selling everything from hardware, tools, wood, lighting etc. etc.

Cris, having read all of your posts, i have concludid that the reaason your snake hides so much is that his viv is way way to big for him, he should be in a much smaller cotainer in side the viv.
You have two options.. buy a 10 gallon tank and put him in that, inside his normall viv, or feed him up as quickly as possible, 3 pinkies a week is the minimum, get him on fuzzies as soon as possible
also pearl lights hurt snakes eyes, coloured bulbs (check the english spelling) are much less stressfull for them. Red is my fav 4 corns, but at the mo i'm useing blue 4 my kings
There is no proof 2 back this bulb theory but it seems to make a big diff in my opinian. I wouldn't worry to much about it as you have a quard around your light, but your viv IS WAY TO BIG for a 12" snake
