Care Sheet Information:

Intro:This care sheet will share the proper care of any corn snake and I highly recommend you read this before buying a corn snake.

Are the right for you?
can you get the food?
do you have a good tank?
is there a exotic vet in your area?will u hold it?

Enclosure: 10 gallons for one keep adding 10 per snake
1 hiding area per Snake large water bowl good light day/night and a climbing area. If you have the time a nice bonus is to get a tub aware or plastic container with lid and cut a 2 inch hole a the top. Make sure your snake can get in and RELAX the add some soft moss (Make sure you wash first) and wet daily making a wet container like a wet bush.

Substrate: DON NOT USE SAND i can make this any more clear sand will KILL your corn snake it is not a desert dewler.
i would advise rep ti bark (It is pre cleaned) and rep ti carpet is OK but use mulch!

WATER: clean and fill daily
Heating: the temp should be 80-85 degrees F
Lighting:day and night lights should be used

Feeding: for kids 1 pinkie a mouse later more up to 2 then a fuzzie then a pup (baby rat) then a mouse or 2 large fuzzies all once a week apart from sheds!!!

Conclusion:Corn snakes are justifiably one of the most popular pet snakes of all time. Corn snakes come in many beautiful colors, and are hardy and docile. This care sheet is not all of the information required to care for a corn snake properly, but it is a start. If you own a corn snake or plan on purchasing one, it is YOUR responsibility to thoroughly research the needs of your pet, doing so will make both your lives easier.
