Yes I was using chippings at the time. The pet shop no longer does them, so now my snake's on corn cob stuff. They were together for breeding. The male's gone now. He didn't do anything anyway. He just went and sat under a piece of bark and went to sleep. He was a lovely gentle and friendly snake, and without wanting to anthropomorphise I actually think the two corns liked each other. Cohabbing with another corn is the least of his worries- he's normally kept in a tank, by his owner with a rat snake. He mates with this rat snake and am assuming that is why he was not turned on by my corn. Wrong smell I suppose.
