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.

This is a handy guide
for anyone building a vivarium for a corn snake

The best way to view The Corn Snakes Pictures
is using a 3D Picture
Wall from CoolIris... |
One minor point is that you will need Javascript enabled and
the CoolIris plugin installed on your PC...
In the past, Cooliris used
to work perfectly on all browsers, but, most unfortunately, the latest news in
2012 is that CoolIris will not work with the newer versions of Firefox in Windows...
Firefox 10 is the last version supported (current version is 12).
Meanwhile
only Safari 4. and 5. are supported on Macs... And also, it would seem, from looking at their
website, that Internet Explorer is no longer supported at all... The only browser that
apparently works on the Windows platform (XP, Vista, 7) is Google Chrome...
See http://www.cooliris.com/desktop/specifications/
for full details.
I have written to Cooliris asking them what their plans are for supporting Firefox
and IE in the future, but so far have received no reply from them...
