- In this video I go over what you can expect when your baby corn snake grows up. For many people their first pet snake is a corn snake, and it is probably a baby. And as exciting as it is to bring that baby corn snake home and care for it, many people don't really know what to expect when that baby grows up. My corn snake, Pumpkin, recently turned four years old and in this video, he and I are going to show you what you can expect when your baby corn snake grows up. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video.

Pumpkin seems very at ease with you. Looks like the hours of holding the snake has paid off in a mutual respect and comfort for both you and the snake. I am sure pumpkin likes the warmth of your arms, but doesn't seem at all bothered by being moved and redirected. Looks like a good, calm, mutually beneficial relationship has been formed. That's nice to see. Congratulations on raising such a wonderful pet.
Thank you so much. He really is a good boy and very special to me.
What a beautiful corn snake!
Thank you so much.
It’s good that you were approachable enough that the employee felt safe to ask you about caring for the snakes, because NOW they are able to advise customers properly when they sell a corn snake.
That’s true.
Pumpkin is so cute! His colouring is absolutely gorgeous 🧡
Thank you so much. He’s the one I’m most attached to.
Pumpkin is an absolute darling, you obviously treat him well and give him lots of love as he deserves. ❤
Thank you so much. He deserves it.
I don't care for snakes, but I like your videos. I find your voice to be very soothing.
Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoy the videos.
the audio quality is totally unbearable. You are crazy. His voice sounds like constant auto tune being applied due to some defect with the microphone I suspect or with audio software. How stupid are you?
I love all your snakes and your relationship with them! I really enjoyed hearing all their stories and how much they have grown in size and in their behavior. These in depth videos are incredible please keep up the great work! I’m hoping my Honduran milk snake can be half as social as your snakes. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Just take your time and your snake will get there. 😄
I didn't get a baby cornsnake, I took in a fully grown corn snake.
Background info. Skip to next paragraph if you don't want to read it all. My corn snake belonged to my teacher's daughter and he was somewhere between 5-7 years old when I got him. The daughter didn't want him anymore and she left for college, so the cage was full of feces, and moldy wood shavings and the teacher only fed the snakes, she didn't clean out the enclosure.
My teacher discovered that I owned Ball pythons, so she asked me if I wanted him and I said yes despite not knowing anything about corn snakes, just to get him out of that situation. As soon as I got him, I cleaned out his enclosure with reptile-safe cleaners, gave him coconut fiber bedding, which he immediately burrowed into, which I thought was adorable. I did a little research once I got him settled, and he's been doing well since then, with only a few minor temperment issues.
The problems are: since I got him, he's been a fiesty, squirrely, and mean biter becaus he simply wasn't handled by his previous owner.
(I don't blame the teacher, she's terrified of snakes and it was her adult daughter's snake, so it was her daughter's responsibility.)
How would I go about changing his personality? Specifically, the biting. If I even put my hand in for a water change, he bites. I love him to death, he's a great, beautiful snake otherwise, and I don't mind the hyperness. I simply hate the biting. Do I just handle him more often and hope he changes over time, or is there a method to it? Because he's a fully grown snake, not a baby.
Don’t worry. You can turn that around. You might buy a snake hook so you can control where his head is when you take him out. My guess is that he’s a lot more fiesty when he’s inside and coming out of the enclosure. But to get him socialized you do have to handle him regularly. You might keep the sessions short until he gets used to it an then increase the time. Don’t constrain his movements other then redirecting him when you need. It might take some time with an adult but over time he’ll learn that you’re not a threat and he’ll get there if you’re consistent about it. If you’re gentle and you love them, I believe they can sense that and they learn what you smell like and remember who you are. Good luck with him.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles Thank you very much!
Very nicely done. Love Snakey who’s 10
Thank you.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles pumpkin is awesome! Snakes best pets
@@miker4430 she is my favorite.
great video!!
Thank you very much.
hey is it okay if I feed my hatchling corn snake every five days or no
Yes young babies should be fed every 5 days or so. After they grow some, back it down to every 7 days.
How do you tell if they are male or female the pet store said it was too early to tell I've had my baby corn snake about four months
That’s a good question. There is a thing vets do where they pop out their sex organs to tell, but that’s something only a vet will do. Females have shorter tails than males do, but that’s not an easy way to tell if you’re not directly comparing a male to a female. Actually without popping them that’s one of the only ways to tell. A female’s tail is shorter and tapers more quickly, while a male’s tail is longer and tapers more gradually. But it is hard to tell when they are babies.
is this a voice over?
No, that’s just me in my reptile room with pumpkin. The video editing software tries to take out background noise and that made the audio on this one a little bit off. 😢
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles hey I just got a corn snake yesterday, the pet store never said how old he was nor does it say on the paper they gave but he is really small they said they fed him pinkies every thursday but it does not look like just a baby it looks like a hatchling and its not aggressive its just shy and scared of touch I guess what im asking is how do I tell how old they are and how much should I feed
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles and also what light should I use at night because I have a white light and a red light so which one i know red one is bad
@@user-q4h no light at night. They need 12 hours on 12 hours off day night light cycle. I would use a ceramic heat emitter or a heat mat with a thermostat to give heat at night without producing light. Although corn snakes can have a slight temperature drop at night as long as it doesn’t get too cold.
