New Black Cornsnake

Thanks again everyone for the replies! I have some good news:



Ziva came home today! I made sure to watch her eat to make sure there were no problems with her eating and she had no problems with that at all :) I paid the balance for her and also picked up a water dish, branch for her to climb on, a screen top for the cage, cage clips, and hand sanitizer for before and after handling her. When I put her into her new enclosure, I just set the container down, took off the lid, and let her get out on her own.



She took a lap around her new home and then proceeded to disappear into the hide on the warm side of the cage - the one that's right about 85 degrees. Yep, she'll need that extra warmth to help digest dinner. I know I need to wait about 48 hours before I handle her to let her finish with today's meal and to de-stress. I figure I'll be able to pick her up and handle her some more on Thursday evening. In the mean time, I figure I'll keep an eye on the temperatures and put the lights on a timer.

Feeding days will probably be Mondays so I'll be able to play with her on weekends :) I think I'll keep her travel container (a clear deli cup type thing) as a feeding container for a while.

One other great thing - she didn't poop on me today like she did yesterday while I was handling her at the pet store :cool:

Have fun!

Well, when first gettting a new snake. Most people try to wait a full week atleast before handling. So that would just be a suggestion. Good luck, great setup and looks like a good looking anery!
 
Thanks! I'm glad you think I did well setting up the enclosure. I'll probably just pull her out a couple of times during the week to check up on her. I'm probably worrying way too much, but I am still new :)
