Temperature and Lighting
Regulating the temperature in your corn snake's habitat is essential for its health. Provide a temperature gradient ranging from 75-85°F on the cool side and 85-90°F on the warm side. Use a heat lamp or heating pad to achieve these temperatures and ensure your snake has access to a UVB light source.
Handling and Socialization
Handling your corn snake regularly is important for socialization and to build trust between you and your pet. Start with short handling sessions a few times a week and gradually increase the duration as your snake becomes more comfortable.

Monitoring your corn snake's health is crucial. Keep an eye out for signs of illness such as loss of appetite, lethargy, abnormal shedding, or respiratory issues. If you notice any concerning symptoms, consult a reptile veterinarian immediately.
By following this comprehensive care guide, you can ensure that your corn snake lives a happy and healthy life in your care.
