A well-balanced corn snake diet consists of appropriately sized frozen rodents, thawed/warmed to above room temperature. Feed juveniles once a week, adults every one to two weeks. Feed in a separate tank so that your snake doesn't associate your hand or the habitat being opened with feeding. Fresh, clean, chlorine-free water should be available at all times in a bowl large enough for your snake to soak in.
Always wash your hands before and after handling your reptile and/or habitat contents to help prevent the potential spread of diseases.

Hi, My 2 year old female corn snake has been like this for the last month, any ideas what it could be ?
What snakes are the easiest to care for as a first-time owner?
WHat kind of snake did my cat kill? My cat brought back a dead baby snake it isn’t like any snake native to England it was black with red spots that look like daimond shape I can’t find anything online
We found a white oak snake that has one black eye and a clear eye is it special
I just bought a Female Ball Python who is aprox 1 month old. How can i be sure she is healthy and great care/feeding tips? Thanks.
My ~3yo male snow corn snake (about 4ft long and about 530 grams) has some bumps on his side. They don't appear to be painful. His behavior hasn't changed since he got them. My best guesses are either internal parasites or fat bumps despite him not seeming overweight.
I found a garter snake, male I think, with a few tears/cuts on the underside about 4 inches from his head. the tears/cuts don't appear to be deep, but if I try to touch them, he tries to either bite or tighten his grip around my arm.. What should I do with him?
