i had another question what should i do if the power goes out to, when the power goes out its out atleast a weekand we dont have a generator
 
Sand is not a good substrate for corns. If they ingest it, it could lead to impaction and even death.
 
sorry i posted thqt before i was done. what is the best thing for a cornsnake then cuz i want something that wont hurt her and looks good and feels good for her but most of all i want her to like it
 
As long as you avoid things like cedar and pine you should be fine. They can be somewhat toxic to corns, especially to hatchlings. Its more humid in the winter than in the summer here so i use aspen then, and cypress in the summer because it retains moisture better.

If your power goes out frequently, you could use an UPS unit, they are are used primarily for computers and other electrical equipment but can also be used for the UTH- you have to calculate the amount of power the UTH uses (this should be on the box) and purchase an UPS that will keep it going for the length of time you need. (they come in different sizes depending on how much power you need and for what length of time) Prices vary, and you might be able to get a used one from someone who is upgrading :)
