"Pickles, would you lay down!"
So, my assumed female, maybe male...I never had the snake probed...anyway she is very active these past few weeks. I know it's starting to look a lot like spring out there. I live in Northern MD. But this is crazy. My three year old corn snake will not stop zooming around her enclosure. She's been so active that I removed her log jungle gym as she's been crawling sometimes and then crashes down in the middle of the night - quite hard. I worry she might break a rib or something. She's already roughed up her scales a bit. Some are bent back, and pinched. So, any expert advice would be wonderful...
Is she bored? 20g long tank, had a toy, has a nice rock den, fresh water...
Is she too hot? I use a 60w day bulb, and a 75w night bulb. My basement can get chilly at night, the light clicks on at 9pm. Should I let her cool down at night? This basement gets like 65 degrees at night, maybe less. I worried myself into getting the night bulb since this winter was rather cold.
Does it have something to do with mating? Maybe Pickles is male searching for a mate? She spends a lot of her time with her nose to the screen lid, trying to escape her tank.
