First snek!
Hey everyone! if you didn't catch my intro, my name is Will and I am in the process of purchasing my first snake from Morphmarket.com. If all goes well I will be the new daddy to a beautiful Albino Okeetee Corn Snake. For the time being I have set up a 20L Zilla enclosure with the plan to upgrade to a 48x24x15 AP enclosure after a couple months.
I will be using this thread as place to keep track of how things are going and growing!

I tried to post photos, but photobucket sucks now, so I have deleted my photobucket account and will need to find a new host.

Re: First snek!
That's one gorgeous corn snake Will. You may want to consider adding even more hides and covering 3 sides of your enclosure to make the snake feel a little more secure.

Thank you EL Ziggy! I agree, I was thinking of some black construction paper or maybe some paint. I do plan to do more foliage in there with another hide, I am also going to keep it in a small tub first since it's still a baby. I also want to be sure the environment is stable before introducing the snake.

Re: First snek!
Sorry that one got away Will. That means something better is in store.

Re: First snek!
Glad to see you made a decision and are making progress with your setup. Setting everything up ahead of time will make life easier on you and much easier on your snake.
I agree with Ziggy, but you're already planning on a few tweaks so I won't continue to beat that drum.
I think you'll find your new corn will spend a lot of time burrowing while young and aspen is a great choice for substrate. I like to use it for young colubrids, but I personally don't care for it overall. But, it's not about me, it's about the snakes.
Anyway, I'm rambling at this point...
Sorry that one sold, but there's another with your name on it somewhere. Any chance there are any upcoming reptile expos coming up in your area?

Re: First snek!
Awsome, really like the colors. I just got my first BP(first snake actually) and having a lot of fun, so much to learn. Hoping to get in the required number of posts to post up some pics. Since I’m something of a snake nut I check out everything. Look forward to seeing your progress. Congrats on the new snake.
Jack

Cool! It reminds me of the rat snakes I used to play with in the the yard growing up, only brighter!

Re: First snek!
Makes sense. Corn snakes are rat snakes after all.
