Help expand and fix the Wikipedia entry about corns!

This from Wikipedia..........I know people are able to add thier own thoughts on WIK, but REALLY, if someone was to go there first, what would prevent them from cohabitating, when it's been a well known fact that is NOT the right thing for us to do!

You can happily keep more than one snake in each enclosure, provided it is the right sized tank. More than two or three, however, is a bit crowded, and makes it hard to follow their habits e.g. shedding and other life functions. They will also need to be separated when feeding to prevent competition: try feeding one at a time in a separate, smaller, tank. This also allows you to monitor whether they have fed.
 
ok.........who's providing this info on WIK! If any newbie read this info from housing to feeding they may end up with a very sick baby! PLEASE, let the more experienced people on here edit what is on there to help anyone who may read WIK and think that is what is needed to care for our lovely babies!
 
"Also, when buying a waterdish for a young corn, make sure it is not bigger than the snake, as a corn snake may crawl under it. If the waterdish is too big or heavy compared to the size of the baby snake, it'll kill the snake."

How do you make sure the bowl is "no bigger" than an animal which may slither under in a straight line or curl in to a ball underneath? Should we all have waterbowls an inch wide and three feet long? LOL :shrugs:

I'm not saying a waterbowl can't crush a young snake. I was just using this as an example, the article does seem a little careless and misguided in places.
 
It's Wikipedia ... if you don't like the info, change it and cite your sources.

If you're not familiar with the wikis ... post your proposed changes [and sources] here, and I'll integrate them next time I'm off work for longer than 12 hours in a row.
 
I've gone ahead and rewrote the part about looking after pet corn snakes. I'm also adding a pictures of my anery.
 
I just wanted to point out that under the color morphs they have one listed as "Albino Lavender" instead of Opal - so even though there is a picture of an "Opal" properly labeled beside it ... for someone not familiar there is nothing availale to make that connection. (unless of course I am the one who is mistaken)
 
One thing I'd like to do is in the morph section make a separate section for selectively breed traits to distinguish between them and true genetic morphs. When I just started learning about corns I didn't understand that miami and okeetee were still normals and that candycanes were still just amels.
I did a major rewrite of the corn snakes as pets part back in February, it's good to see that it continues to be expanded.
