Re: Complete Newbie (Corn snake questions)
Temp should be 26-30c. Nyx is roughly just under 3ft and in a 50L rub, with heat mat and thermostat (sensors on the inside of the RUB at the bottom next to the substrate). At adult size she'll need a minimum of 3ft x 18" x 18" vivarium, but preferably 4ft x 18" x 18". Handling - make sure you do it regularly, as long as you give 48 hours after a feed where they are left alone to digest it. Rough guide to prey size is 1 to 1.5 times the width of the widest part of their body. Hope that helps
That's just the basics that I know of - I would seriously consider asking on one of the reptile forums in case I am wrong - as I'm very new to snakes.
