Hi everyone,

looking for some advice please.

My corn snake (Anouk) is now 6 months old and is now over 2ft. we have him in a 18L rub, with coconut hide, wooden bridge and cardboard tube along with water dish.

He has been very active over the past week, moving around and constantly trying to climb, putting his head up to the top of the rub.

We have trying to handle Anouk when possible and he likes to explore!

Do we need to look to move him in to a viv?
Does he need more stimulation?

:-)

My guess (and its a guess) is he's ready to go up to smalls. And your hot end temps should be between 27 and 29 xxx

The prey item should be no bigger than 1.5 times the widest part of the snake. If a small is too big you can either move to every 6 days or double up on fluffs. Some shops sell hoppers, that I fed every 6 xx
