snakes are cool

(Note, this article includes a pet snake using paper towels as a substrate. this is not something that should normally be done and it was only used to make sure that the snake was healthy before switching to a substrate that allows burrowing.)

sniffing around

I got a baby corn snake on November 16. His name is Meteorite and he is an anery tessera morph corn snake. He is braver than many baby corn snakes I have read about and during his active periods (around dawn and dusk) he climbs all over his enclosure. He is in an exoterra front opening enclosure, as it stresses out snakes for a hand to come in from above. He has been a good eater, never missing a meal. He seems to prefer his hot hide over his humid one, though he uses both. I don’t know his age, though my guess is 6-10 weeks old. He has done silly stuff but sadly I don’t have pictures of it. For example, once when I was handling him and was putting him back in his enclosure, he slithered under it instead. I had to lift it up a bit to get him out.

Climbing up the glass

“An empty place to run wires in? Seems like a good place to climb!”

” I will squeeze through this tiny space, because I must slither through EVERY INCH of my enclosure”
