An Introduction to Corn Snakes
|
Keeping snakes has been an interest of mine for some years now and these pages are just a few words about how I got started in snake keeping and what an easy to keep pet snakes are compared with many other pets. Hopefully some of this will be useful information for anyone thinking about buying their first snake - or, indeed, building a vivarium for a corn snake.
There are around 250 pictures of my two corn snakes, Shaggy and Alice, and more than 600 pictures of Other Peoples Snakes. There is an index to the Shaggy and Alice pictures on the Snake Pictures page. The latest Gallery is number Fourteen, but there are also pages of pictures and words devoted to Alice shedding her skin and laying eggs. See the Corn Snake Shedding Skin and the Corn Snake Laying Eggs pages for a description and pictures of her shedding her skin and laying eggs.
As well as the many other pages on the site, there is a Links page to other herpetology sites. If you are a herpetologist with a website, then email me if you'd like a link. And of course, there are the usual Sitemap and Search pages, to help you find stuff on the site.
A recent addition to the site is about hatchling corn snakes that are reluctant to feed and ways of cajoling or persuading them to eat. See the Corn Snake Feeding Problems page. If you have a corn snake such as this, then please read this page before emailing me asking what to do.
One of the more successful additions to the site is the Corn Snakes Forum. This is community with hundreds of members in the UK and more around the world. If you have any question that is troubling you about your corn snake, then this is the very best place to get the answer to your question - the many combined years of experience of the members means there are almost no questions we cannot answer.
With more than 5000 questions asked about corn snakes and over 10,000 topics in all, there is no doubt this Forum has proved to be very popular - and as well as all this, there are more than 1,500 postings on the Pictures section. Why not join up and have a look? Introduce yourself and you will be sincerely welcomed and soon become a part of a great little community.
