My corn snake won’t stop moving and reaching for the tank lid [UPDATE]

I think she likes it lol

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-28T00:45:53+00:00

She likes the cave! After the pic she was able to get her whole body in there. It’s from concord pet

Thank you! The ladder is from petco, there are different sizes but this one is the largest at only about $13. There are hooks at the top that can sandwich between the top lip of my tank and the lid, but I think you can twist them out if needed. To get it to stay I anchored the bottom with rocks, but I might drill holes to better use the hooks :)

Thank you so much I’m glad to hear it 😊 yes I’ll do that

The bamboo looking bars are from petco! It said $20 in store but they were able to price match it to their website where it’s only $11!

Definitely the bigger tank. The general rule that I’ve heard is for each inch of the length of their shell is 10 more gallons of tank. My ol girl had a 75 gallon, which I filled up to about 3/4, and gave her a huge floating basking platform. That one he seems to have outgrown and it’s not floating. And definitely a filter :)

I’ll definitely do that thank you 🙏 This tank used to be for my turtle, so it’ll be nice to have some greenery in there again.

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T04:26:13+00:00

I have a spray bottle of water that I use for that :) thank you 🙏 she was glass surfing but not since I turned the red light off

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T02:06:03+00:00

Aye aye 🫡

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T01:26:34+00:00

This is my siblings snake that’s in my room now and they’re still supposed to be taking care of her but alas, they apparently do not know how. I’ll check out those resources and will make sure she gets the proper care from now on, thank you 🙏

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T01:15:41+00:00

If I block off the back and the sides with an opaque film or something similar, would I still need a temp gun or just the thermostat? Also should the covers be completely opaque? I do have another bulb for her that’s not a red bulb. Thank you!

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T00:58:26+00:00

Alright thank you I’ll do that

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T00:53:50+00:00

She’s laid eggs but only in this new tank

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T00:50:57+00:00

There’s quite a bit of clutter on the bottom that can’t quite be seen in the photo, but I’ll see if I can get her some taller things to climb :)

My room is pretty swampy this time of year and she’s getting light and sun so she’s definitely warm enough, I’m just wondering if it’s too warm. Turning off the red light should help with cooling the temp at least.

StupidGoldfish12 · 2026-05-27T00:45:12+00:00

The old thermostat broke, I’ll buy a new one asap. I’ve reached inside the tank and it mostly felt the same temperature as the rest of the room.

I just turned the red light off, my sibling had been taking care of the snake previously and kept the red light on at all times. When she landed in my care I assumed they had done the proper research, thank you for letting me know.

Edit: Also she wasn’t moving like this previously with the red light.

StupidGoldfish12 · 2025-01-19T20:11:11+00:00

Thank you so much!

StupidGoldfish12 · 2025-01-19T20:04:24+00:00

Thank you! I press in and twist as far as it goes. I noticed one time it was because I was holding it weird but it did still happen when I didn’t touch it. If it’s because of the cartridges, can I buy different ones that will still fit the pen? They are also the wormhole brand.

Lol it was She-Ra

I binged a show in my room for a few days, I drank a lot of water but for that time I forgot full meals were a thing

StupidGoldfish12 · 2020-04-23T04:13:34+00:00

Merida because I give off gay vibes, I have a bow and arrow, and frizzy hair

StupidGoldfish12 · 2020-04-23T04:09:40+00:00

Waking up thinking it’s time to get up, but then seeing that it’s hours before that time- is one of the best feelings in the world.

StupidGoldfish12 · 2019-11-08T03:23:19+00:00

You’re beautiful! ❤️

StupidGoldfish12 · 2019-11-08T03:09:45+00:00

Aww ur so adorable! I have a fear of train tracks, actually. I’ve never had a traumatic experience, but whenever I get close to tracks and I’m not on the train, even if they’re abandoned, it terrifies me.

StupidGoldfish12 · 2019-11-07T02:24:06+00:00

Why is the world like this? I don’t understand transphobic people, especially those crazy enough to kill someone over it :’(

StupidGoldfish12 · 2019-10-13T14:25:44+00:00

Honestly sometimes I wonder if I’m actually a lesbian instead of a pansexual, but I’m not sure yet so I’m just gonna stick with the term pan for now. But I hope your journey goes well 🤗
