Introducing.... Diablo!!!!
First I would like to say hi to everyone. This has been a very cool and the most infomative site I have come across. Very glad I found it. Everyone on here seems very nice and willing to help with questions, and I love seeing everybody's snakes also.
After a lot of reading and talking to pet store owners with each there own opinions on how to set it up for a new corn, here is my set up and how it all happened. Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
In the beginning: 29 gal high, black aspen, uth, 2 hides, water bowl, 2 pieces of drift wood, temp. probe. Took all precautions and set up the recommended way. UTH on one side water bowl at opposite end and 1 hide on each side. Then after reading a lot more about the size of tanks for baby corns I decided to switch him over to a 5 gal with same set up except instead of the driftwood I gave him a plastic plant to climb on, he loves it.
I have the hot side running about 83-84 on the glass with a light dimmer to control the heat, cool side about 74-77.
I got Diablo last Thur. He's been in the 5 gal viv since Fri. I hav'nt tried to handle or feed him yet. I think he is starting to feel pretty comfortable in his new home. In the evening he pokes his head out to check out whats going on. Then when some lights go out I watched him explore his new home. He has even come out a couple of times during the day and taken a nap up in the branches of the plant.
I plan on trying to feed him a f/t pinkie on tue for the first time in a seperate container leave him be for 48 hrs then start to bring him out to used to being held.
This is definatly very exciting i cant wait feed him hope everything goes well. Can someone possibly tell me what his color is from the pic?
