Re: My Snake Isn't Eating ...

Personally i would privde MUCH more cover for the snake to move around in without being seen.

I put my hatchling corns into four foot long by two foot wide vivs straight away, BUT i provide cover over approximately 90% of the floor space and the vivs only have glass at the front. This means that the snake can move from hot to cold without having to expose itself to possible predators.

Get a bag of aspen and he will feel much more secure. He probably feels super exposed on the papertowel with hides that have 2 open ends.

I agree. He will start exploring and burrowing.

Also, you can take some sticks out side, shave off the bark, and stick them in the oven at 200 degrees for an hour(kills bacteria/mites/whatever) and you can put it in your tank for climbing on/hiding.
