CORN SNAKES DON’T TAKE A LOT OF LOOKING AFTER AS
LONG AS YOU SET THEIR VIVARIUM UP CORRECTLY WHEN
YOU BEGIN. THIS IS A QUESTION OF GETTING THE CONDITIONS
AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN TO THEIR NATURAL ONES. THEY LIKE
THE TEMPERATURE TO BE AROUND 78 DEGREES THROUGH
THE DAY, DROPPING TO ABOUT 65 DEGREES AT NIGHT. THIS
CAN BE DONE USING A NUMBER OF PURPOSE BUILT DEVICES,
SUCH AS HEAT MATS HEAT ROCKS AND SPOT LIGHTS. THEY
ARE BEST IF YOU USE THEM WITH A THERMOSTAT TO GIVE
YOU FULL CONTROL OF THE TEMPERATURE. USE A GOOD
(TREATED )BARK CHIP OR ONE OF THE OTHER PRODUCTS
THAT ARE STOCKED BY PET TRADERS, SUCH AS CALCI-SAND.
A GOOD BRANCH IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED BY THE SNAKE
AND WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD DISPLAY WHEN THEY CLIMB IT
AND WRAP AROUND IT. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU PROVIDE
THEM WITH A HIDE BOX OF SOME KIND AS THEY NEED TO BE
ABLE TO GET OUT OF SIGHT FROM TIME TO TIME. A WATER
BOWL THAT IS HARD TO TIP SHOULD ALWAYS BE PRESENT
AND IF YOU CAN GET ONE THAT THE SNAKE CAN CURL UP IN
IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR THEM , IT WILL HELP WHEN THEY GO
INTO THE SHEDDING PROCESS. MAKE SURE THAT THE
VIVARIUM HAS A GOOD TIGHT FITTING LID, CORN SNAKES ARE BRILLIANT ESCAPE ARTISTS.
