    My corn snake died a few weeks ago, he was a lovely snake, I had him for 20 years and he never once bit me or anyone else. I miss him a lot since he was a part of my life since I was a child. Corn snakes definitely make wonderful pets.I'm thinking of getting a Common Boa now as I really miss looking after a snake.

    I've had my snow corn for about a month now, she is about 5 months old. She is a little hyper but when I pick her up she calms right down. She eats her food right away, i've never had a problem getting to eat F/T, she is eating fuzzy mice right now.
    I Handle her every other day, she actually looks at me when she wants me to pick her up and will keep looking at me until I do. She has never tried to strike at me at all.
    I found her a lot more easy to care for then my leopard geckos.
    For some reason when I tell people that I have a snake, they look at me as if im crazy then they ask me if I'm not afraid of her some how getting out of her enclosure and eating me at night. I just start laughing at them and say how would a snake that not even a foot Long and who's head is about the size of my pinkie swallow me? I'm 220 pounds.

    A few things:
    They have a life expectancy of 15 years or more.
    They're super smart, so be prepared for your snake to recognize you, beg for attention, and play with enrichment items.
    Theyre mostly around 4 feet long, very so often you end up with a big one...my boy is about 5.5 feet, and his sisters are probably even bigger!

I've had the pleasure to own or handle many species of reptiles, including venomous and I'm always impressed by the natural beauty of a Corn snake. I will say this though, I wouldn't want to have to choose between my Okeetee Corns and my Eastern Kingsnakes.

    I remember watching this video almost 3 years ago. I was scared of snakes but I loved the challenge. I adopted a 10 year old corn snake from my tattoo artist, as he couldn’t find the time anymore with 3 little kids in the house. She is a healthy 13 year old today, curious awesome baby. Took time to build the bond we have but now we are 1000% comfortable with each other and it’s so rewarding. She loves to take naps in my hoodie while I work and she smells like the rocks by the sea (literally my favorite smell in the world, am I the only one?) 😂. Recently her little 1 year old ball python sister joined and we are a pretty cute family I have to say 😃. Well anyways, thank you for this video, it actually changed my life 😊

      I mean in all honesty. When I got my corn snake for Christmas it was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Like my parents talked about it but my mom wasn’t to keen. But low and behold, 10 year old me got a brand new baby corn snake. Depending on how old your daughter is either get her a baby or an older one. Babies are much harder to take care of and my snake was only a month old or so when I got him. He’s now 5’6 feet long.

    My 10 year old daughter has had a corn snake since she was 8. It was our first family pet (pre-dating my son's leopard gecko and our Hungarian Vizsla). She is hands down the lowest maintenance pet imaginable. She is super chilled out, with a lovely temperament, feeds once a week, and her vivarium requires very little maintenance - removing faeces periodically, topping up the water every day or so, and then a full substrate change and clean every few months.

I’m in no hurry (looking at next year’s laying season) and have been checking your videos, as well as Emily’s (loved your collab eating cricket tacos), Dav’s, Brian’s, etc. I’m now looking at corn snakes, and am probably gonna go with those because they seem to be the easiest snake to care for. Thanks for this video. Like your other videos it is packed with info, and easy to understand. I’ve just ordered a book called “Genetics for Herpers”. I’m having trouble understanding morphs, etc. and they intrigue me, and this book looks like it will help me a lot.

    I have a corn and have two notes:
    1. Handability: My corn has never bit me but has struck at my face multiple times. He has never tried to bite my hand or other parts of my body except for my face. For some reason, he will always strike out if my face gets too close. I was a bit concerned for you in the video after seeing how my snake behaves.
    2. Survivability: My snake got loose once during feeding and was gone for a week and a half without food and water. I thought he was a goner without water, but sure enough, we found him and he was fine. They are probably the must survivable pet animal alive.

    I have two corn snakes and they are absolutely lovely. Jörmungandr, my three year old male, was given to me by a friend of my stepmother who used to be a breeder but decided to quit. She had Jörmi as a "leftover" male. My other corn snake, Ouroboros, is either six or seven years old, perhaps even older. No one can really tell. I got him from the local shelter who have had him for five years. Apparently they had found him in the garden of an old lady when he was small (in size, after all you can not really tell the age of a snake by just looking at it) so he had either been abandoned or managed to escape.
    I am a beginner and they are not just my first reptiles but my first pets in general. I love them to bits. I spent so much time making sure everything was right and now that I have had them for over a year I can not imagine living without them. They have a 150cm x 80cm x 80cm terrarium each (so two terrariums in total) and take up a lot of space in my room. They are the reason I had to get a small wardrobe, but I don't have much stuff anyway.
    Corn snakes are just wonderful pets.

    I've been wanting a ball python for months now, but with the ratings of corn snakes versus ball pythons I can say that I'm very torn between the two. The reason I want the ball python is because I've heard they're very docile and friendly, they come in a lot of different morphs and I've read someone even calling them "the Labradors of the snake world" in their book. But with a corn snake, it seems like they're in less need of maintenance when it comes to heat. I'm only worried about the winter months here in Ohio and keeping a python that requires a 78-90 degree heat range constantly.

      @nightinggale6470 Рік тому +1

      @@dingdongism years ago? Sure. Currently? Absolutely not. An adult corn can survive in a 40 gallon, but they cannot thrive. A snake should be able to fully stretch out in their enclosure, at a minimum. Corns get 4-5’ on average and are very active snakes, they will use every inch of space provided for them. Care standards change and improve over time. 40 gallons used to be considered an acceptable minimum for corns but that is now outdated. A 4x2x2’ enclosure (or 120 gallons) is a better minimum for corns. I have my girl in a 4.5x2x2’ and couldn’t imagine keeping her in something smaller.
