I've had my snow for about 2 months now. I got her at a pet store. I liked that she was out cruising the viv in the store and not hiding. She's super sweet. She never uses her hides and most of the time I see her cruising her viv. Anytime I walk in the room she's out. I'm beginning to think she never sleeps lol. She eats well, temps are 88-72. She has had one shed and looks to possibly going into another now. But her activity level doesn't change much with a shed only for a couple days after she feeds. Is this normal? Should I be worried? My other two corns are never out cruising, they are always hiding. All three are hatchings...maybe 3 months old. I'm not complaining. I love seeing her out but is it healthy/normal? |

Thanks for all the replies. Smart bunny...(I dont know how to do the quote thing) I have a dial thermometer that reads heat and humidity but I also check the heat with an infrared digital thermometer. I only use the dial to check humidity. I am going to lower the temp a bit and see if it changes anything. Hopefully she's just active. Thanks for the suggestion :) |

Sounds like it might be a bit too hot for her. Temps should be 30C as a maximum - ideally kept at about 28C. 88F is slightly higher than 31C.
Normal reccommendation would be between 26-30C so that would be 79-86 with the ideal being 82.4.
How do you measure temps? If with a digital thermometer probe on the heat mat that's fine you just need to drop it down slightly, but if you are using a dial thermometer somewhere in the tank then the temps will actually be significantly higher, and dangerously high for the snake.
Of course she may just be a friendly, adventurous snake... |

As coxymk2 says totally normal they all have lots of different personalities my female is out a helluva lot more than my female and they are around the same age, he is constantly totally hidden under his substrate with just his poking out occasionally!  |

Lol. Yeah mine comes to see whats going on anytime I enter the room. I like it :) as long as she's healthy and happy. I have to completely disassemble the other vivs to find my two other corns lol. Thanks for the reply coxymk2. I won't worry so much and just enjoy being able to see her :) |
