A simple question, yet hard to be find answer. I've read multiple times they are nocturnal or crepuscular but... When is the corn snake activity period? Late afternoon? Evening? Far night?
I suppose it might vary with individual but all animal have a standard, a general pattern. When do your corns snakes wander around their vivs?

I've only noticed ours exploring around 6-7am and 9-11pm. Not seen her during the day yet as been at work since we got her. Will know more on Saturday. When i go to sleep she's in her warm spot (not the hide, but behind/under the fake plants), when i wake up she is in her cool hide. We dont hear much during the night tho to be honest. |

Think they all vary, Karuza is active for about 4 hours through the day. The other night we were all watching a dvd, karuza was trying to find an escape so i took her out much to her delight and she fell asleep in my hood of my jumper for a good 20 mins before putting her back in the viv. Then a few hours later (3am i was still up as usual) and she was back out again. x |

My tallulah belle is out as soon as she hears someone come in the bedroom room, she likes to have a good nose around, and as soon as you open her viv she comes right up and out to look at you. It's so cute, she also likes to climb as were going to sleep, It's like she likes it better when someone's in the room with her.

my two just come out whenever they feel like it , kai is a nosey so and so and will be out pretty much all the time unless he is digesting or in shed . kodi was out this afternoon and i had a handle and she hasnt been back to bed since , shes trying to escape , so i think it depends on the snake really x |

sachi is usually out for a nose about for about 20 mins, when he realises that im there. but usually re-sides to his hide at about 10pm - 4pm, the next day, im out most the day, but usually find time for a quick 15-30 min hold of him :) |

Well, I'm aware of that. Just wanted to check those two species (Milks and Schrenckiis) |

some snakes are nocturnal, some are diurnal, there's a vast array of species and subspecies  |

^ I imagine most snakes are crepusclar. Snakes aren't known for navigating in the dark like owls or bats as far as I am aware and many animals do not come out in broad day light. I suppose really a big thing is how dark and how much light your room gets, curtains and stuff. As soon as I open my curtains early in the morning, my baby corns and Char go back to bed.
Char is 7pm-9pm and 4am-6am at the moment. Venom however is up mostly during the day keeping an eye on what I am doing :D |

I know this might be sightly blasphemous in a corn snake forum, but it is important to compare, but how are milk snakes and russian rat snakes (elaphe schrencki) in this aspect? |

crepuscular - most active at dawn and dusk, though as there's no potential predators in their enclosures they pretty much come and go as they please |

My snake usually comes out at around 11am and again at about 5pm wanting to come out of the viv to play for a short while. He then usually comes out at around 8pm for another play and then will stay active for most of the night. I have been downstairs at 3am and he is still active. |

The only time I ever see my 3 out and about is when I get in from work around 3am! But as soon as the lights go on they scurry off... |

Mine pocks his head out between 8.30 -9pm and sometimes has a wander around. However when we go to bed and the lights are out is the guaranteed time he comes out as I creep down and spy on him. He is only 7 months old, we have had him about 2 months, and he is coming out a lot more now than when we first got him so older corns may be completely different. |
