will he be OKAY?

[EmJagsz]

When I bought my new baby corn, I didn't get the chance to get him a UTH, but I will be getting one for him tomorrow.... I was just wondering if he will be okay in the meantime? What things can I do to help keep him warm until i get him a nice warm UTH?

Thanks! :cheers:

As long as the room he is in is room temperature he should be fine for the night. If it gets cold in the room maybe put a light over him, if you have one.

Since it's a baby, he can easily fit in a sandwich-sized plastic container. You can put some air holes in the sides, just make sure they are small enough so he can't get through them. A small soldering iron is my favorite tool for making small and smooth holes in plastic containers. Add some substrate (paper towels work well ) and a small water dish, add your snake, make sure the lid is on tightly, and then place it on top of your refrigerator. The temp up there, heating the underside of the container, is just about perfect for a corn snake.

I wouldn't feed him until you have his heat all set up, though.

It should be ok - corns are hardy little guys, make you to get the heat pad asap and give the snake a couple days to adjust to the new set up prior to attempting to feed.
