Cornsnake Basics
All the basic tips you will need to keep and look after a cornsnake correctly!
Here is a quick list of the things you need to do to keep a cornsnake correctly:
- A 3ft long vivarium for adult cornsnakes
- A hide big enough for the snake to sleep in, positioned in the warm area of the viv
- A moist hide - a simple plastic food storage container with a hole cut into the lid and filled with damp sphagnum moss is ideal - positioned in the cool end
- A water bowl
- A branch or some kind of decor to aid the snake in shedding its skin
- A temperature range from 21° to 80° but as long as the snake is feeding well, they can happily live in a range of temperatures, in UK summertime heat may not be required.
- Frozen mice of an appropriate size to be defrosted at room temperature and fed once a week
