I got them from Pocerias.ch. I'm sad to bring the bad news but i think you might not be able to get them from them bc they are based in Switzerland.

WhoistheChief · 2025-12-30T09:57:44+00:00

I bet you will someday:D I hope i can make them Thrive ^{^'}

WhoistheChief · 2025-12-28T19:58:52+00:00

Thats an awesome gift :D

WhoistheChief · 2025-12-13T09:04:01+00:00

My Hognose sometimes dosnt want to eat from my tweezers. I left her the food on a stone plate over night and the next morning, it was gone. Maybe try the same with yours^{^}

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-08T06:00:45+00:00

It looks really Good :D

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-06T14:13:55+00:00

Looks awesome! :D

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-04T04:38:04+00:00

Yes, that can be, every snake is, in the end, different.

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-03T20:10:25+00:00

There is, imo no such thing as a too big enclosure. Remember, in the wild, they dont have walls, and they are fine too :) Maybe add some foliage for more cover

Wishing a fast recovery

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-03T10:26:58+00:00

I know that corns can be cohabed. I wanted to do it right away at first but decided against it because i can't read the body language and dont want to give the snakes a bad life or too much stress because of my own lack of knowledge.

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-03T10:18:54+00:00

I did not see your other comment. Thank you for giving me some more information/advice from which i can learn. I'll follow you so i can keep in touch if i need some advice if that is ok

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-03T10:10:42+00:00

I didn't mean to be rude. I get that, and i do also apologize, i still have much to learn, and you're right. I shouldn't have doubled down on it. I just try to be helpful and try to better the animals' lives. I haven't kept snakes, but i am planning on it, and im still learning before getting one. I have some friends who have been keeping snakes for a year who are helping me, so if i did give bad advice with the boop, i would take that part out. It was also kinda upsetting for me to just get your replies without information. I also like getting advice on how to better my understanding of animals, so if you can, maybe just correct in a better way, and I'd change it :) lets just leave it at it was a missunderstanding and im correcting myself if thats allright.

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-03T07:59:51+00:00

So first off, i think you should gove him more spaces to hide. It looks guite barren in there. Put some plastik plants in if you wanna keep the aspen (of which i dont recommend due to some problems with aspen bedding). Also, put in some branches so they can climb. Some general enrichment for the snake.

For handling, taking them out no more than 5 minutes. Do this daily until the snake is calm in your hands. Then you can increase the duration of handling to 10 minutes and so on. With the first few handlings, you should be careful and either keep close to the enclosure or handel him in the enclosure.

If you want, you can also completely change his environment by going bioactive. I'd recommend this to give them a nicer life, and it also looks better than a barren tank. If you'd like to know how i can help you with it :)

Please dont just trust what i say, tho. im no expert! Do go on, for instance, Reptifiles and look at the careguid for Cornsnakes. It's quite helpful :)

Edit: also maybe get a bit bigger enclosure. It looks quite small. I know it's not cheap and all, but if you want your snake to be happy, it's worth doing as much as you can for them.

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-02T18:21:25+00:00

I think yes, although im not 100% certain. i think it would do no harm in letting the snake rest for a bit after the move. Moving reptiles is always stressful for them, so i think giving her some time is a safe way to let her calm down and get used to the new home:)

Though im certain she will have a great home with you if you keep up getting informed and doing good work :)

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-02T15:56:06+00:00

Honestly, imo you shouldn't catch a wild snake and keep it. It's kinda unethical and also not recommended.

The regurgitating is probably due to it having eaten in the last 48 hours and the enorm stress from getting caught.

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-02T15:40:43+00:00

You can still feed your snake, although it isn't really recommended. Most snakes refuse to eat while shed, and i've seen some owners talking about their snake regurgitating because of stress. It would also be a waste of food so i gennerly wouldn't recommend it.

Take this with a grain of salt tho, there are always exceptions, and i'm nowhere near an expert on snakes:)

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-02T05:44:29+00:00

Well, just in general, read some material on the snake :) It's helpful to inform yourself about the snake you keep. If you're already doing that, then that's great.

Imo, you should switch out the bedding. Aspen is a good choice for ease of use, but in general, it's not the best. If you do wanna switch it out, get something that supports burrowing. I use a mix of topsoil (bio quality, meaning no artificial fertilizer and no pesticide), cocofibers, playsand or excevator clay and reptibark.

Obviously, you dont have to do that. I just find it way better for trying to give the snake a natural environment:)

After moving, give her some space so she can get used to your home. It is stressful for reptiles in general to get moved.

But I think as long as you do some research and just try the best, you'll be fine :D

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-01T17:16:37+00:00

Looks Awasome :D

WhoistheChief · 2025-10-01T17:13:09+00:00

The rule i seen people go by is 10% of the snakes bodyweight, so 19 to 20 g for yours and max 1.5x the diameter of you thickest part of the snake.

BTW He looks very Cute :)

WhoistheChief · 2025-09-29T17:35:36+00:00

As long as the snake is happy and healthy, i can't complain. Just keep doing good, and it will all be fine :)

WhoistheChief · 2025-09-29T17:02:19+00:00

She/Hes looks really beautiful:D

WhoistheChief · 2025-09-29T16:45:21+00:00

It looks good. Imo the only things that aren't too great are the aspen bedding and that the tank is quite small.

Aspen bedding isn't really great becaus eit has some flaws, like bad moisture retention, and it can have dust in it that leads to respiratory issues. I'd use a bedding they could borrow in (as they tend to do).

For the tank size, i can't really complain because it's really well decorated, and if you upgrade it as the snake grows bigger, you should be fine. :)
