I would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of some good advice on breeding and housing of the above said snakes Smile

I have a male creamsicle, bout 4 1/2 foot long and a good weight plus a female carolina bout 3 1/2 foot long and again a good weight (over 350g).

They are aware of each other and, I think, as a result my male has stopped eating (been about 6 weeks now). I'm not worried at present as I know corns can go a fair while without food, but he is often asking to come out of his viv and makes a beeline for hers every time he is out.

She is a little more wary of him, and I have been inclined to let them meet and get on with it, but they are both beauties and I wish to be fully informed of the correct way to approach them meeting without there being any disasters or fighting.

Cheers a bunch

Jan Smile

There is a book by Kathy and Bill Love which is pretty much the cornsnake bible. Here it is on Amazon you may bbe able to get it ordered at a local book store or your local reptile pet shop if you ask.

Yep agree its a very good book, when I had my first corn it was essential. I had the corn snake manual but that one looks like the updated version.

I just bought that book yesterday. It's very informative.

Snake Guy it is the up to date one with about 100 or more new pages. I wanted it so much that when it first came out I got mine from the US as it wasn't available over here.
