Re: new corn snake set up

Looks good, and especially impressive for a corn snake setup. Did he dig his own way under there or did you hollow out a space for him?

Have you put any inverts in the substrate?

I keep thinking about doing one for my ball python too...

Re: new corn snake set up

i started it off for him but he made a little tunnel under it and there a few tunnels in there. the only thing i added were spring tails and the dead leafs already had mites on it and i was going to ad some rollie polies.

and i wish i still had my ball i would love to try this out on one.

Re: new corn snake set up

105f is hot for a corn.. you can easily drop that down to 90 with no issues.

Re: new corn snake set up

Great set up. The larger the gradient the better. If I could achieve 105 and 50 in the same enclosier it would be ideal.

Re: new corn snake set up

Wow cool set up. I was thinking of doing something like that with my kingsnake. He hates being handled and I don't want to stress him out when I have to clean the newspaper.
I love that they tunnel like that

Re: new corn snake set up

well i added a bit more of substrate sense i see he likes to burrow. and sure enough he did. i haven't seen him in a couple days i knew he was still in the cage because i could see the substrate was lifted up where he had made a burrow.

He made a borrow under this piece of bark


and heres the other end of the burrow

Agreed.

I keep my corn snake at normal room temps, never supplied any extra heat at all.

Had him six years now, so it must be working out OK.
