the corn snake

What is a corn snake?

Corn snakes come from a family of snakes, Colubridae. Corn snakes are found in North America.

Corn snakes require very little in captivity and can not survive under the control of even the most inexperienced amateurs. Thus, the corn snake is an ideal choice for young people and beginners. Housing:

Baby corn snakes can be housed in a shoe box for a few months until it grows up. Snakes are known to escape artists! As a rule, you can block local pet clips to the top of the screens.

Accessories:

Hiding something that makes your corn snake to feel secure. The possibilities are endless: a hollow log with bark (PET), empty cardboard boxes, cardboard and pot plants destroyed cardboard tubes from empty toilet paper rolls or paper towel. If you are outdoors, you risk exposing your reptile fatal to insects such as mites. Substrate:

Substrate materials used for the bottom of the cage lid snake. The purpose of the substrate absorbs the snake “garbage.” Personally, I use Aspen bedding for my corn snake. Do:

Most owners feed corn snake frozen thawed mice. They can be purchased at most pet stores or order in bulk from a pet store network. The mouse moves (in terms of feed size) pinkies, ferrets, bunkers and adults. I recommend sticking frozen thawed mice. For several reasons: if they get used to “live” mice, they can not eat frozen thawed again. It would be embarrassing if the life of mice were not available. I also do not recommend eating mice and rats live adult snakes, because snakes attack and injury and infection. Make sure that everything is completely thaw extraction, placing the mouse in a plastic bag and place in warm water until thawed. Water:

Corn snakes need a container of water (large enough to accommodate all the way). Snakes are known for “bad” to help shed the process may or feed it! Corn snakes rely on “thermoregulation”, which is the process of managing body. The ideal temperature for your snake will be in the range of 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit Follow directions (hot) tank from 80 to 85 degrees and the side (cold) of the tank does not exceed 70 degrees. There are several ways to generate heat, but the best options for head lighting or heating pad under the tank. Heating tank with an adhesive plastic support attached to one side of the bottom of the outside. Make sure your tank is compatible with this form of heating. Heat rocks are not recommended! Conclusion:

Corn snakes fascinating reptiles that come in a wide range of color and pattern mutations.
