Hello,

Hi to everyone. I am new to corns. I already had a BP named Mattie when I heard about this girl having a 4foot corn she needed to get rid of ASAP. I set up a tank and now we have "Butterscotch". I have totally fallen in love with her. This poor girl was on cinders, no thermometers and no hides, plus just an illuminating fish light to keep her warm. When I first picked her up, she was Ice cold. So I brought her home and for 3 days we didn't see her. (She is now on Aspen with 2 hides, UTH and a red light, vines and thermo's and hygrometers on each side.) She was warming up from being cold for so long, I think. Luckily, she is very hardy, no RI or anything. I was told she had only shed 1 time in 9 months. Now is she is getting ready to shed with the proper care and humidity. We have only had her a little over a week, but I did alot of searching and learning on how to care for a corn before I took her in since she was a rescue of sorts. But she seems to be thriving now, other than not coming out much right now. But, if they are anything like BP's, we don't see him for a week or more when he is about to shed, so that's my guess.
Anyways, I really hope to kind of pick everyone's brain and learn more about corns. I will try not to ask stupid questions that have already been asked and that I can already find here on another post.
Last, a little about me- I am married to my hubby who is not so happy about our slithering members of the family-but dealing nicely, my 2 boys that are totally in love with our snakes and our 5 dogs and 2 horses. I live in AZ and don't have many people in my area that have snakes, so I come to you hoping for help with questions. Thanks again

What a poor lil snake, people should not have snakes if they cant look after then properly, glad snake is doing well with you now though. happy ending, yay. im new to snakes too, they are ln't they?
 
Welcome to the forum..trust me you chose a good one by coming here! These people know their stuff and are some of the friendliest people I have had the pleasure talking to...I'm learning a lot from them myself (me being new to snakes as well..I just got my baby corn about 3 weeks ago..) As I was told...reading up on the F&Q areas answers a lot of questions..anything after that..feel free to ask away..though I won't be posting answers for a while..(not until I learn my stuff..heh) :cheers:
 
Hello and Welcome to the Forums!!! Good job for saving that poor lil snake. She is lucky to have found you.
 
Welcome to the site!!!!!!!! There are a lot of great people here. Everybody is always willing to help.
Be sure to read the FAQ section in the forums. They answer a lot of questions. There is a search feature that answers many questions.
 
Hello and Welcome!!!!! I'm happy to hear you were able to rescue that poor baby. I'm sure with your care it will now live a very happy(as happy as a snake can be) life!
 
Thanks everyone and glad to meet you. Today I fed "Butter" and she ate even though she is in shed. I couldn't believe it. What a difference between Ball Pythons and Corns. She was also on live when I got her but, for a what the heck moment, decided to try F/T cause it is safer and easier. Sure enough she is a pig-if a snake can be a pig and gobbled it up.lol Anyways, I am gonna go browse around.
