Added some stuff about cage decorations. That's all I can come up with off the top of my head. If you can think of anything, let me know.

If you'd like to lend a hand, once I finish the rough drafts I'll send you on a link hunting search to link some older threads to the questions. I figure the best way to let newbies 'learn' this stuff is for them to not only read my opinion, but read other threads with the same discussion.

Looks pretty good, Joe. Three comments:
  • About caging: Obtaining a cage that is 110% escape proof is essential! All corn snakes are descendants from Houdini. And having a cage that is absolutely escape proof does you no good if YOU don't do your job and make sure you keep it secured at all times. The most common calls I get are of the nature "My snake has escaped! Where do you think it went off to?"
  • Furniture within cages: Simple is best. The more difficult and time consuming it is for you to clean the cage, the less often you will do it. The snakes really don't care much about the pretty accessories. Matter of fact, you had better consider your snake as being suicidal, and anything you put in the cage will be used to end it's own life, if at all possible. Less is better.
  • Substrate: Be careful with any substrate that the snake can ingest while swallowing food. Baby snakes can definitely die from intestinal impactions. Wood chips are notorious for this. If you have to use that kind of substrate in it's cage, feed the snake elsewhere.

Nice job Joe. It took you a while to get it going, but it's looking good.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I had in mind concerning hides and decor.
Glad to help out if you need me.

Rich, I added these in my own words because I didn't know how you felt about me quoting you. If you're okay with that, I'll just delete what I added and add your comments in.

You should have somewhere in these FAQs a section on houseing multiple corns. Specifically a "Pros and Cons."

Here is something I didn't know about. Thought you might want to add something about it to this FAQ page?
