More or less this is a post to confirm what I have read and to see if I am doing everything okay with my first baby corn. Also just to familiarize myself with the boards and meet some of the other users. Any and all input is greatly appreciated!
-My pet store told me to feed my new baby corn, who is around a foot long, once a week, however I have been reading a lot that says that you can feed a baby corn twice, or even three times a week. I fed my snake for the first time today, and he wasted no time with the pinky. I was just wondering what others have experienced with how to help my snake grow and be healthy.
-I was curious about lighting. I read somewhere that turning on a light at say, 3 in the morning, can disrupt the snake. However, I am at college and the snake lives in my one room. Sometimes it is inconvenient and I need to have some light in my room, but I was just curious if anybody has seen effects on the snake with slightly irregular lighting. The over the top light I have is on a 12 hour timer, and I never turn that on at night. Could I possibly confuse the snake by turning on other ambient lamps or lights or am I thinking about this too much?
-My pet store also suggested I use both an under the tank heater, over one end, AND an overhead light. Has anybody noticed if this is a better way to keep a heat gradient for my corn?
-Right now my snake is in a small "tom pla-house" terrarium, which is then inside of a 10 gallon tank as suggested by my pet store to decrease my corns chances of escape. When is this small rectangle too small for my corn? The box is about 10" X 6" X 6".
I am sure that I am thinking about some of these issues too in depth, but if anything else I am curious and I want the best for my corn. We both thank you for your help!
