Corn snakes, like all reptiles, cannot maintain their internal body heat. Thus, maintaining the cage at the proper temperature is vital to care of corn snakes. A temperature gradient from 70 – 75 ºF on one end of the cage to 80 – 85 ºF on the other should be maintained to allow the snake to regulate its body temperature by moving from one part of the cage to the other.
The heat mat is the best way to heat the corn snake’s cage. These are rectangular electrical heating pads, sealed in laminated plastic with the electrical cable coming out at one edge. Available in various sizes for different cages and can be purchased at reptile pet shops.
The heat pad should be placed under one-half of the cage, covering roughly half the floor area, thus giving the corn snake a choice of warm and cool areas. To easily monitor temperature, inexpensive self-sticks thermometers can be purchased and applied about an inch above the bottom of the cage on the warm side. A thermostat and heat sensor need to be incorporated in the system, to automatically switch the heat pad on and off as necessary. All items for snake cage can be purchased at a good reptile pet shop.
Lighting
Corn snakes do not need a light in order to survive. In fact, they would probably prefer no light. But most reptile pet owners prefer to put some kind of light in the cage, to see the pet better. An ordinary 60 watt household bulb will be quite adequate. It is not too bright and creating too much heat. The light must be placed at the same end as the heat pad. A mesh guard should be fitted around the light bulb, otherwise the snakes will put their noses right up to the light bulb and burn themselves.
It is extremely important to do plenty of research on exotic pets before you decide what sort you want. You can find plenty of information on the internet simply type in the animal you are look for and read as much as you can to see if this animal suits you. You can also visit your local library and borrow books on exotic pets.
How to feed a corn snake
Frozen prey need to be completely thawed and warmed slightly before feeding. After thawing, place the prey on a small plastic dish and place the dish in the cage and leave the snake to it. If the snake won’t eat it after few hours, then remove it and throw it away.
Some snakes like their prey “jiggled” in front of them. To do this, pick the prey up by the tail with tongs (no sharp, pointy ends), and hold the prey in front of the snake for the snake to strike at.
Pet snakes that have refused to feed more than 2 times can be enticed into feeding by having the prey item slightly warmed, either by a heat lamp or soaked in warm water a few minutes before feeding. Don’t put it in a microwave, as they can explode. Another trick to try is “braining”, where you pierce the head of the prey with a knife point and liquid from the head exposed with forceps or tweezers.
