[COOLCADEN080]

im not hatin you dont know alot about snakes if 90 is not an appropriate temperature,

[wolfpack2386]

cool video

[COOLCADEN080]

90 farheneit is wayyyyyyyyyy to hot maybe 80 would be more appropriate moron.

[mattdaviestv]

@COOLCADEN080 88f is actually the perfect warmside temp for a cornsnake but anything between 85f to 90f will be fine

[SUPERSLURPZ]

[Kaution747]

Oh you dont have moss in it.. But put it in when they shed GAURENTEES a whole shed :)

[Kaution747]

Hi mate, If you still use that tank and have moss in the snake cave, I STRONGLY advise you to remove the moss. I had moss in mine and my corn snake didn't shed for all the time I had it in (9 months). They get attached to going in and it is iritable to their scales and stops them being able to loosen it up and she. It can also cause it to regurgutate and get irritable scales on her belly. If you dont have moss in it then... This was pointless. But just incase I thought I'd tell you either way :)

[younglegacy2k5]

speak english

[MrRobster45]

ONLY 1 A WEEK 2 WOULD MAKE IT HEAVE

[drumsrock12]

[Kaution747]

hi i am getting my corn snake really soon! i am going to put him/her in a large flat exo terra faunarium is this okay? and for how long ? btw great video :) subscribe to me aswell

[happyhoildays]

No the best substrate is repti carpet ?? ..

[mattdaviestv]

nah not really its a pain in the ass to clean every few weeks starts to smell bad

for a corn aspen bedding is the best one id say definatly and it smells really nice to haha

[StrangeWorld18]

Newspaper is the best! ;p

[mattdaviestv]

haha true newspaper is free easy to clean doesnt smell but i prefure to pay for aspen it allows the snake to burrow it smells really nice its easy to clean but hey everyones opinion differs aslong as the animal of each person is doing ok then their doing it right :P thanks for comment dont forget to subscribe lols

[hoboville12345]

hi, can I use Exo Terra's desert sand substrate?

[hoboville12345]

for a corn snake

[mattdaviestv]

nope it can get stuck in there scales n cause loads of problems

corn snakes arent a sand dwelling snake if your interested in a small sand dweller i recomend a sand boa

[alien102471]

@mattdaviestv I've heard that newspaper ink can be harmful for a snake.

[mattdaviestv]

@alien102471 yeh ya suppost to dry it out first haha i probs should of mentioned that as the people lacking common sense might put there corns on fresh newspaper lol

[henham97]

could a 5 month old corn snake live in a 35l tub for his first home or is 35l to big?

[bballer1201]

pretty good im getting a corn snake today (nov.1 2009) most of that will help me.

[MissFr0sty]

this was very good! u can realy tell that u care about how secure ur pet feels because u gave him so many hides :) i also have a corn snake lol ^^ i hope the ppl who watch this pay attention!

[beardy443]

is that a anery corn snake???

[Harlyplow79]

3 fucking hides u need only 1

[mattdaviestv]

u need one

but 2 is recomended

but you can have as many as you want

the more there are the more secure the animal will feel

[paulasparky]

Have you not got a thermostat on your heat mat? Your risking your snake getting burnt. I have seen it happen. It will stop the mat getting to hot. They dont realise they are getting burnt till its to late.

[RawrItsOllie]

How big does the tub need to be?

[paulied]

just got my first black corn snake today hes tiny lol got it in a set with everything i need havnt properly handled him yet because the women at teh shop said i should wait a few days till he has his first feed in the tank

[paulied]

hi was wondering if i could use an old fish tank for a corn snake house? and what do you do about the humidity? thanks.

[mattdaviestv]

you could just make sure the lid is nice n tight on so the corn cant escaped and make sure its got plenty of holes in lid for ventilation also corns dont need humidity just put it in the the tank with a heat mat underneith on a thermostat with aspen,chippings,bark,newspaper as bedding couple of hides a waterdish and ya ready to go

[360EvoChris]

Nice vid i might be getting a corn snake soon but my whole family doesn't realy like the idea of it. i was unsure about feeding live mice at first but after watching a few vids i think i can do it.

[mattdaviestv]

dont feed it live then feed it frozen thawed there readily available at the petstore and there cheaper

[tixon434]

dude ur hotttt!

[TheSnakeGuy1]

Man, i cant wait till my corn gets as big as zeph.

[005jbrown]

thanx i found that video very helpful for me getting my corn snake:)

[pdpdrummer89]

where did you get your enclosure?

[gom1206]

which pet is easiest to take care of between the corn snake and the leopard gecko?

[mattdaviestv]

corn snake is easiest to care for in my opinion

[gom1206]

has your corn snake bit you before?

[mattdaviestv]

nope corns rarely do bite especially if you have them from babies

[ARTicWeather]

I think out off all the care videos I've watched yours is the best :D I'm still deciding on getting a corn snake, Beardie or a skink.

[mattdaviestv]

thanks :)

[comedynerdynerds]

im getting 2 baby corn snakes. an okeetee and a snow. gonna cross breed em. wonder how that will look???????

[muppet9976]

also, because i was thinking of getting a corn snake, but i was wondering, say i got a snall snake (eg. 30 cm), would it be ok for it to be in the same enclosure as it grows. so say the tank was around 50-75 cm long. also, i heard the tank should be a maximum of about 2/3 the length of the snake. is that true?

[mattdaviestv]

ok your not likely to find a snake that will stay below 30 cm lmao erm ya can but i recomend a cornsnake they get to a reasonable 3ft-5ft which is small handable and they are very calm snakes that wont bite :) and a corn would need to be in a small tank first then eventually will need a 3ft tank and not really thats like a recomended minimum haha but ya can go like half the snaks length and theyd be fine but they can have as big a tank as they are just not massive they like to hide and be secure

[muppet9976]

what are pinkeys and fuzzies?

[mattdaviestv]

pinkies are new born mice before they get any fur and fuzzies are the after a few days when they start getting fur which is well fuzzy lol

[kimaleemay]

So nice to watch a vid not made by an american

[mattdaviestv]

:D cheers

[Purpplush]

LOVE ur accent

[ColdBlooded97]

Ok thats awesom! thanks!

[ColdBlooded97]

Hey, Do cornsnakes bathe in their water like Ball Pythons?

[mattdaviestv]

ive noticed mine will get into the water whilst drinking it i guess to fully hydrate himself

[shanaynaygogo321]

i have an extremly aggresive corn snake help please email heeelp! :(

[mattdaviestv]

handle him more with gloves if nessicary get him more use to you

[bamf64]

i have a question for anyone willing to answer::

im getting a baby corn snake in a 10 gallon glass aquarium and a zoomed under tank heater, i was wondering how i keep the temp at 85-90 on the hot side and 70-75 on the cool side without it getting to hot or to cold??? someone please help!

and someone told me i need a heat lamp(75 watt) and a UTH, help

[mattdaviestv]

the undertank heater should reach the right temp to stop it going over the temp get a thermostat set it at bout 88 degrees and use a thermometer in ya tank to make sure the temperature is right. yes you could usea heatlamp but ya dont need the under tank heat mat aswell just one or the other really

[bamf64]

i actually figured that my UTH only got the cage to about 70 deg. so i got a lamp and that does the job. he loves basking in it alot. :)

[lizardman1994]

how high is that tank

[jubru645]

do you use a thermostat /if you don't has one of your snakes been burnt

[loveatfirstsite21]

you can add me on myspace i live in the sandiego area

pinkies-.50

fuzzies-.50-.75

hoppers-.75

adults-1.00

XL adults-1.50

[kbamch92]

agreed aspen is the best. Its subtrate that can be used for burrowin and absorbs great.

[lizardman1994]

i might get one but want to know do they grow quickly?

[Need2Dominate]

i don't think so. it depends how often u feed it.

[SarahLouiseBates]

Nice Video

Good advice.

[zeroskater97]

you should put aspen in that rock that your corn snake was in

[Flak1ous]

But,yeah is good there a bit lot of info the temperature are the most important.

b'cuz they can die.

Good video

[Flak1ous]

When their eyes are blue and they are in shed that means his skin is peeling to a new skin.

[smudgedog40]

Good video, helpful for those who want the basics in a simple way. What size of tub would I need for an Adult Corn? The one I have is like 2.5 foot by 2 foot, that enough?

[snakespwn]

[mattdaviestv]

[johnkaighin]

can youu hamster wood chipins for subsrate?

[mattdaviestv]

id probably say thats a no on that one not to sure but just buy some chippings for reptiles its not dear make sure its beech chippings though dont buy pine or cedar they can be dangerous to reptiles

[Grazzeh]

you can but its not a very good substrate.

[mattdaviestv]

oh is that about the hamster bedding yeh i wasnt sure about that question to be honest but id say getting snake bedding is a better idea init

[2007dre]
