This has some to do with balanced diets and the confines of their homes. Something you DO have to be careful about, though, is keeping your corn snake in a tank that is too small for them. This will naturally limit their growth because they have nowhere to go. It is suggested that a full-grown corn snake be kept in a gallon tank at least!
If you are nervous about your corn snake not having enough wiggle room and resenting you later in life, then it is fine to allow them a bigger cage. The only advice I can give, and I will repeat it, is to not put your snake in a tank that is obviously too small. We also talk about the best way to take care of your terrarium. There are the basics such as food and water that are very important which I discuss in the next section. These two factors will help your snake stay healthy and allow it to have an easy time shedding.
Scale rot is very dangerous. Check out this article for everything you need to know about scale rot in snakes. If you maintain the correct temperatures and humidity for your corn snake, then it will be able to grow without any problems. Corn snakes can happily live on a diet of mice.
For hatchlings, you will want to get very small baby mice and increase the size of the food as your snake gets bigger. It has become increasingly popular among snake owners to use thawed frozen mice as the chosen food for their corn snake. This is popular because your corn snake will get the same amount of nutrients without the trouble and sometimes danger of catching live prey. This also makes life easier on you and saves you any trauma from buying and offering live mice to your snake-like a blood sacrifice.
Size is a big influence on the buying decisions of snake owners, and so is how long your corn snake will live. This is one of the reasons that corn snakes are so popular among beginners.
Keep changing the water so that your corn snake can occasionally bathe, mainly when the temperatures at its enclosure are high. Although live prey can provide plenty of nutrients to your corn snake, you should avoid introducing any live prey to your corn snake. Many corn snakes have died from getting injuries from live prey. Encourage your corn snake to feed on dead prey. The type of enclosure you keep your corn snake in can also affect its size. Hence, it helps to have a bigger enclosure for your corn snake to allow a faster growth rate.
Living conditions have a significant impact on the growth of a corn snake. You should also provide your snake with a bed where it can bask once it needs to regulate its temperature. Whatever enclosure you choose for your corn snake, ensure it provides proper living conditions for your snake.
Temperature is also another factor that can affect the growth rate of your corn snake. They need cool and warm temperatures to thrive even when they are in captivity. Ideally, the correct temperature for your corn snake should be 68 degrees on the cooler side. The warmer end should have a maximum temperature of Digestive problems can also affect your snake growth rate. Corn snakes can also die due to long-term digestive problems. For instance, you can place some heat lamps when the temperatures are too cold.
Alternatively, you can consider using UVB lighting to keep the enclosure warm. UVB lighting will also help provide enough light for your snake. Snakes need enough lighting to help their skins synthesize vitamin D. There is a size difference between male and female corn snakes. Males grow faster on average, even after reaching maturity. Females, on the other hand, have a slower growth rate. They also have noticeable dark streaks that run their bodies.
Both females and male corn snakes have the same size at birth. But with time, males show a faster growth rate than females. Although most of the students hypothesized that this would happen, it came as a bit of a surprise to me. The kids really enjoyed this experiment.
They learned a great deal about corn snake husbandry while also experiencing many of the intricacies of real life data collection. Several of the students who were afraid of the snakes to begin with have developed an actual affection for their charge. I believe that there is much more to science education than just text books and cookie cutter labs. If the kids can develop a healthy respect for the natural world and all its denizens while learning good scientific procedures, they are learning real science.
