Hey , quick question ... i've seen different opinions about this online and wanted to know if corn cob would serve as a good substrate for a corn snake ?
I want one too but my dad is not too happy about that because apparently snakes don’t bond with people and he doesn’t like that they carry salmonella EVEN THOUGH you just wash it hands after handling a snake... I guess I just have to wait until I’m older so I can move out or buy my own
Thank you so much man I was using pine for my corn snake and she still a baby and she could’ve died and I swear to God thank you so much I bought her the forest floor bedding and she’s so much better and happier
I'm watching this after losing my housemates Corn snake under the floorboards today. First time spending time with her and I messed up completely. Had to have the basement ceiling smashed open to rescue her. My housemate will just love returning from holiday to find her basement wall missing 😕
As someone who keeps, and has bred corn snakes a few times. You hit their care spot on for the “pet owner” community. You did a great job explaining every aspect of their care in-depth. Overall very well done, this video is going to be a great resource for experienced corn snake keepers (such as myself) and novice keepers alike! Awesome job!👍🏻🐍
I love that you went out into nature for reference! I feel like so often we design snake enclosures based on our preferences and not in a authentically natural way. Yes!
My science teacher has 10+ snakes (30+ pets overall) in his classroom, and one of those snakes is a corn snake. He's super chill and and friendly and just overall, everyone's favorite.
My mom bought a corn snake for me on a whim because I’ve always wanted a king snake. It was a surprise and I was not ready. So thank you for this video. I will still keep learning, but I need to know the immediate basics :)
Very Impressed! I have owned 5+ corn snakes and still learned a lot from this video! I’ll admit, I’m 34 and at first thought to myself...”what is this kid going to teach me?” But you definitely shut me up..haha. Keep doing your thing kid! Awesome Job!
Okay, I'm only 3:06 into your video and it's the best I've ever seen done for any pet! You speak very clear, you are very knowledgeable but not overwhelming for beginners (like me) I feel like I'm watching a show on Discovery Channel, well done young man!
It's so weird how in America they do not sell Wooden Vivariums. Here in the UK you can only buy wooden vivariums in the reptile sections unless you buy a fish tank!
Holly Maxwell Oh yeah, Exo-Terra are really expencive!! But so are most of the wooden vivariums *especially in Pets At Home* and Exo-Terra are mainly for Lizards I have found.
Everybody else: taking notes* Me, an intellectual: rewatching it to memorize the needs Note: I'm not actually doing that, Im planning to write it down in a second, just i want to kinda get the gist of it so if/when i get a snake, i can get used to it better. Anyways great video!
I was just told by my parents after 2 months of asking that I could get a corn snake and I was able to get information from videos like this along with other RUclips channels so thanks Alex great video
I Just got my first snake (corn snake). Thanks for this video! I was thinking of a ball python but i didnt want to mess with humidity or UVB lights yet.
I haven’t gotten a snake yet but my dad wants a ball python but I really want a corn snake to start off with since I have never had my own snake before
I'm probably not going to get a corn snake in years, but I watched anyway. These videos are so well made and informative, and I love your humour. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate the fact that you focus on the animal more than anything else... what is good for the snake, what makes them comfortable, what makes them happy. You have done and incredible job!
Experienced herper here. Very excellent video. You immediately raised the bar by introducing the audience to their natural habitat and going from there. Subbed.
Since I had two snakes, I put one heatpad (with a thermostat controlling it) inside a pyrex container and buried it in the aspen mulch. Then I had an even bigger heat pad (also hooked up to the thermostat) which I siliconed an enclosure for at the bottom of the glass tank, using acrylic (couldn't find a pyrex container big enough for it so I made something custom). You might say about half of the tank was actually heated. I kept the two heat pads just around 87 degrees. The cool side was basically room temperature, maybe a little warmer because the tank insulates itself. I used the AcuRite 00325A1 to record the high/low temp and humidity within a 24 hour period. I took the front glass pane off the 150 gallon tank (4'x2'x31" tall) and built an acrylic sliding door for the front, for easy access (covered the top with a screen). I had a 10 gallon planted freshwater shrimp tank within this terrarium, sort of making it into a paludarium. The snakes could access the water there, which they did sometimes. This added to the humidity. Being in Florida, my humidity in the house was always around 55 percent, so I didn't need any sort of humidifier. They also had a water dish (ro water is like rain water) and three hides. I also had a bonsai tree inside (lighting coming from on top the screen), and some branches for them to climb on (I also grew a moss mat and pothos vine in there). I fed them twice a month, a mouse or two (the adolescent rats, which I tried a couple times, were a bit too much, so I went back to the adult mice). I fed them outside the tank, on the kitchen floor, so there was never any mulch being swallowed. It didn't cause any problems. My snakes never ever bit me and I could literally hold the mouse in my hand while feeding the snake, although, I only did that once or twice. I always waited about week after feeding to hold them (waited until they pooped). They would always poop again within 15 minutes of my taking them out of the cage, so I always took them outside in the grass (kinda like walking the dog). I took my snakes tree climbing almost weekly. I had two, a 5 foot and a 2 foot. The 5 foot liked to stay buried in the mulch. They had very different personalities. I miss them very much.
Youve introduced me to my wallets death.... I could mix all three with layering providing a strip down the center of the enclosure(running from hot to cold) of aspen to allow them to burrow if they are so intrested place the soil along the bottom and then on the top place the last fibers ....
I’m gonna get my snek soon. Sadly in Australia you can only get Australian species like blue tongues, beardies, Australian pythons and turtles, so no tortoises, leopard geckos, ball pythons or corn snakes. Great vid anyways.
I can get a permit for Aussie species and you can get exotic birds but not mammals or reptiles. Except axolotls Edit you can get marsupials with a license and without a license you can get deer, game birds, some native reptiles and birds, exotic birds and exotic fish. (Exotic being non native.) Ps this only applies to the state of Victoria where i live, other states have different laws but only native reptiles can be kept Australia wide.
I’m getting a corn snake next week or so and this guide was extremely helpful! Very clear and useful, unlike other rather vague sites I’ve visited. Thank you very much! -Ninjaguar
I'm very new, I have a friend who studied reptiles in school. But you seem to know quite a bit more then he, I have so many questions but nobody to actually speak to on any of this subject. I'm a huge lover of Corn Snakes. I just want her happy..
Just got a baby corn snake and I was worried the humidity was too low at 35% but thanks for reassuring me. It's always hard when seeing so much contradicting information online and your guide is just perfect! I've been paranoid about my danger noodle but im probably mostly freaking out over nothing ahah.
8:44 i know i'll prolly get backlash for this, but if an enclosure is too big for a snake it can feel exposed, especially if it doesn't have any "caves" to be in, but you always wanna make sure they can stretch themselves, that their body is at least the same length as the longest side of the enclosure. depends on the snake tho ofc but yea. have a great day/night, i hope i didn't get everything wrong, great videos you got going, wishing you all the best!
This video was very well edited and polished. You spoke clearly and your points were well laid out and supported. The timestamp guide in the description is a bonus. Good job, dude.
im getting an albino corn snake JUST LIKE YOURS and same size lol!! my first one, i only had a ball phyton. i live in vegas, in the desert, we dont have humidity and my room is about 30% humidity so... PERFECT. thank you so much for this awesome video
Hi there buddy and thanks for your great video. I bought my first ever snake about 5 weeks ago, a 2 year old male sun-kissed (I think) corn. I named him Syd Vicious, he's not at all vicious but he's definitely a Syd. He had me worried for a bit because he wouldn't come out of his hide until I found his shed whole skin in the vivarium. Now he's out and about more and a lot prettier. He gobbles his adult thawed mice down great and provides his smelly thing usually in the same spot. These are truly great snakes. You're doing well for someone of your young age so, keep it up buddy. Well done. Subscribed and liked. John isle of Wight, U.K.
Thank you so much for making this amazing video! I am using a lot of this info to convince my parents why I should be able to get a corn snake! Thank you again Alex
Oml, thank you so much for this video. I'm going to get a corn snake for my birthday(in two weeks) and I need to be ready for it. ^-^ I'm so glad you made this video.
I know this is 6yrs ago but this is exactly what I've been looking for about cornsnakes I've been thinking about getting 1 for a while and def will soon after this video
I love how a lot of your advice comes from personal experience. Means you made some mistakes along the way (everyone does), but also gives you a lot more credibility.
This is insanely well made and I understood and was able to pay attention which is insane considering I didn’t take my adhd meds today lol! I’m planning on getting a corn snake for Christmas but my mom might hate me just for asking lmfao /hj thanks for making this :)
one time I got a bunch of plastic tubes and linked them all together to make a super enclosure, each one had a different environment with their own warm and cool ends
This is amazing, every time I had a question you wound up answering it moments later. Better yet, perfect feeding instructions!!! So many people use percentages for most pets, which aren't great when it comes to measuring proportions. Thank you.
I’m trying to convince my mom to let me get a corn snake, and I’m trying to do all the research I can to know exactly what I need for one. I’m definitely going to show her this video!
I’ve never kept a snake. I don’t intend on getting a snake. I’ve never held, or even touched a snake. I live in the uk where it’s freezing. Me - Sits through a 30 minute video on how to keep a corn snake. Finds it fascinating, interesting and informative. Excellently put together. Thank you so much ☺️
Thank you for making this. I have been doing research on corn snakes for about a week. I really want to get one, but I want to make sure I do everything right.
i feed my snake outside of the enclosure. i know that it’s controversial, but i have never had a problem with aggression, he’s always happy to be picked up, whether it’s to hang out or eat. i use coconut fiber substrate and the long stringy pieces can get stuck to the pinky and stuck in his mouth. i also like because it keeps the tank cleaner, doesn’t get the pinky dirty, and it helps him develop a schedule. it really depends on the kind and personality of the snake. 🐍
I’m literally in the market for a corn snake, this video was great. My favorite part is when you talk about how content creators like to say that you have to have exactly this many hides and they have to be here, here, and here. Or they will die! When I’m reality these snakes don’t care what they’re hiding in as long as they are hidden and feel safe.
Ay thanks, im trying to convince my mom to get me one, she said i needed to do my research first, and in 1 go i did all the research to show her, thanks
Wow this is so thorough! Almost all of my questions were answered. But I do a follow up. Would you recommend making a humidity box? And how often do they shed?
I am doing research because I would like to grow my reptile collection with a snake, because I have always wanted one (a snake) so I am trying to convince my parents to let me get a noodle with a head. Video helped lots!
Its really not, like he said use a Tupperware type plastic container drawers that are like 4 or 5 inches high for a baby corn snake, by the time the corn snake gets old enough to have a fairly decent size enclosure you should have saved a good amount of money. Also things like heat mats, thermometers, substrate, water bowls, hides, and other decorations are actually fairly cheap. Also is a good excuse to get birthday, and Christmas presents from people.
I got my tub for $15 dollars at Target, my snake decor from a garage sale for $5, and the snake for free on Craigslist from someone rehoming. If you keep an eye out and are patient you can find good deals.
I have 2 corn snakes and they both are in 20gal tanks and I use heat lamps on the top of the tanks, and they are fine, my female is young, only 2yrs old, and my male is 7 yrs old, he was a rescue, and they are doing great, thank you for the info, it help me a bit more.
I’m very new to reptiles so what I’ve been doing with my corn snake is feeding him every Friday I usually feed him a small mouse (not super small)and waiting until Monday to handle him again I was just wandering if someone could tell me if that’s good if I should feed him more or less I have no idea and can’t really get good answers
Dude thank you so much for this video! I'm gonna adopt a cornsnake soon and many resources I found are outdated or contradict each other. Good to finally have all the info in depth and in one place. Been taking notes harder than I ever did for uni, lol :D

Dang. This is AWESOME. I honestly don't think I've seen a better video care guide than this. A++++
I know
Corn snakes are *×xXcuteXx×*
My mom bought a corn snake for me on a whim because I’ve always wanted a king snake. It was a surprise and I was not ready. So thank you for this video. I will still keep learning, but I need to know the immediate basics :)
Hell yeah your mom sounds so cool! I wanted a king snake but I see so many videos about how they are aggressive and bite
FINNALLY every other corn snake guide was just them making their enclosure.
Very Impressed! I have owned 5+ corn snakes and still learned a lot from this video! I’ll admit, I’m 34 and at first thought to myself...”what is this kid going to teach me?” But you definitely shut me up..haha. Keep doing your thing kid! Awesome Job!
I'm so glad you linked where and what to get because I get so lost on what to get and have no idea where to go.

It's so weird how in America they do not sell Wooden Vivariums. Here in the UK you can only buy wooden vivariums in the reptile sections unless you buy a fish tank!
Michelle Dupley true, but we do have exo terror vivs, but I find them small 😂 unless I have like £150 for a big one.
Holly Maxwell Oh yeah, Exo-Terra are really expencive!! But so are most of the wooden vivariums *especially in Pets At Home* and Exo-Terra are mainly for Lizards I have found.
Michelle Dupley That is very true! I just managed to grab a wooden viv (3ft long and 3ft high) for £40 on Shpock!
Holly Maxwell so did I haha! Same size but £20 lmao
we got pvc enclosures which are very nice and customizable but man they are expensive.

Sweet...what kind did u get?
I was told i can get one after 4 years finally
Lol I had to move out before I was “allowed” to get one. Since have moved out and looking for one

Beluga Herping :( How sad. Can you not even get a permit for an exotic species?
Beluga Herping ...get a woma python

Ps this only applies to the state of Victoria where i live, other states have different laws but only native reptiles can be kept Australia wide.
Makes sense because uneducated people release their exotic species into the wild and it causes major problems.

This is insanely well made and I understood and was able to pay attention which is insane considering I didn’t take my adhd meds today lol! I’m planning on getting a corn snake for Christmas but my mom might hate me just for asking lmfao /hj thanks for making this :)
one time I got a bunch of plastic tubes and linked them all together to make a super enclosure, each one had a different environment with their own warm and cool ends
I haven’t seen anyone mention the turtle on the floor 😂
Ikr! I saw that as well XD
This is amazing, every time I had a question you wound up answering it moments later. Better yet, perfect feeding instructions!!! So many people use percentages for most pets, which aren't great when it comes to measuring proportions. Thank you.
I’m trying to convince my mom to let me get a corn snake, and I’m trying to do all the research I can to know exactly what I need for one. I’m definitely going to show her this video!
I’ve never kept a snake. I don’t intend on getting a snake. I’ve never held, or even touched a snake. I live in the uk where it’s freezing.
Me - Sits through a 30 minute video on how to keep a corn snake. Finds it fascinating, interesting and informative. Excellently put together.
Thank you so much ☺️
Great intro!
100% the best care guide on you tube
U deserve more subs than you have
thanks haha
Thank you for making this. I have been doing research on corn snakes for about a week. I really want to get one, but I want to make sure I do everything right.
i feed my snake outside of the enclosure. i know that it’s controversial, but i have never had a problem with aggression, he’s always happy to be picked up, whether it’s to hang out or eat. i use coconut fiber substrate and the long stringy pieces can get stuck to the pinky and stuck in his mouth. i also like because it keeps the tank cleaner, doesn’t get the pinky dirty, and it helps him develop a schedule. it really depends on the kind and personality of the snake. 🐍
I’m literally in the market for a corn snake, this video was great. My favorite part is when you talk about how content creators like to say that you have to have exactly this many hides and they have to be here, here, and here. Or they will die! When I’m reality these snakes don’t care what they’re hiding in as long as they are hidden and feel safe.
I paid for my first snake today and getting it soon its from ocean corals and reptiles
Thanks. I'm getting a corn snake in an hour (first time owner), and this was super helpful
Done my research but I’m refreshing before I take my girl home in a week or so after she is paid off... thank you ❤️
Ay thanks, im trying to convince my mom to get me one, she said i needed to do my research first, and in 1 go i did all the research to show her, thanks
Wow this is so thorough! Almost all of my questions were answered. But I do a follow up. Would you recommend making a humidity box? And how often do they shed?
I am doing research because I would like to grow my reptile collection with a snake, because I have always wanted one (a snake) so I am trying to convince my parents to let me get a noodle with a head. Video helped lots!
Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot and I can’t wait for when I’m finally ready to get a snake 💕
Thank you I’ve been wanting and saving up for a corn snake
All of that stuff is painfully expensive, which means I’m not convincing my parents to let me get a snake any time soon XD
try looking on facebook, craigslist, and google for snakes near you :)
I got my albino corn and all his stuff for only $50
Welcome To Trench - Really? Huh, I’ll have to look into that
Its really not, like he said use a Tupperware type plastic container drawers that are like 4 or 5 inches high for a baby corn snake, by the time the corn snake gets old enough to have a fairly decent size enclosure you should have saved a good amount of money. Also things like heat mats, thermometers, substrate, water bowls, hides, and other decorations are actually fairly cheap. Also is a good excuse to get birthday, and Christmas presents from people.
I got my tub for $15 dollars at Target, my snake decor from a garage sale for $5, and the snake for free on Craigslist from someone rehoming. If you keep an eye out and are patient you can find good deals.
@@rev9fan1 so when you get like a 40 gallon tank do you put a barrier in the middle so it’s smaller?
I have 2 corn snakes and they both are in 20gal tanks and I use heat lamps on the top of the tanks, and they are fine, my female is young, only 2yrs old, and my male is 7 yrs old, he was a rescue, and they are doing great, thank you for the info, it help me a bit more.
I’m very new to reptiles so what I’ve been doing with my corn snake is feeding him every Friday I usually feed him a small mouse (not super small)and waiting until Monday to handle him again I was just wandering if someone could tell me if that’s good if I should feed him more or less I have no idea and can’t really get good answers
Dude thank you so much for this video! I'm gonna adopt a cornsnake soon and many resources I found are outdated or contradict each other. Good to finally have all the info in depth and in one place. Been taking notes harder than I ever did for uni, lol :D
