Rhapsody Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We had two we lost one when someone house-sat We still have Tequila she is 3 yo She's a red and yellow Hypomelanistic corn, very easy and docile although currently not feeding very well. Just to warn-some people don't have 2 in a tank due to cannibalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 i'll probably stick to one then, is my set up ok? can't believe i forgot the water bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 yeah you could do with one of those! I've got a spare waterbowl/hide if you want me to send it to you. You also need a stick-onthermometer on the hot side and one on the cool side. How are you heating it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 i have a heat mat and lamp. 1 thermometer, need to get another for the hot end. Was very confused what to set the thermostat for the heat mat on? at the moment i have it on 30c? and the cooler end aiming for 25? everywhere gives temp range for the whole tank but not what to put the therm on i will get the bowl when i pick up snake sunday but thanks for the offer. i have 2 hides 1 at each end? that will be ok won't it. Oh forgot i have a lock coming from ebay, can't trust the little ones to leave it alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just be careful with heatmats, they can burn a sleeping snake, an infrared bulb is safer. Your tank looks super! I can recommend 'The Cornsnake Manual' and cornsnakes uk is a fab website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Our Sid is in a similar size viv and is about 8 years old, should be just fine, but has already been said not two. Unless breeding they are best kept apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
