please read if you know about corn snakes?

Question

my 2 month old corn snake goes in between the little rail thing on the tank and the screen he isn't stuck but i dont think he can get down i take him out of his cage about twice a day and my boyfriend holds him to why does he keep doing that

Answer 1

Security. Corns hide in small crevices in the wild. Out of instinct, your corn is hiding in a tight place as it feels secure there. Try providing a smaller hide box. They like to feel the sides of the hide touching them when they are hiding

Answer 2

Mine still do this as adults. Make sure your screen cover is on very tight! I had a baby escape by doing this and never found it. They can squeeze through amazingly small spaces.
They can get down from there, but mine usually fall down. Now I have driftwood that goes close to the top, so they can use it to climb down.

Answer 3

lol....most baby corns do this! It freaked me out when my baby corn first did this...they are just looking for a way out. Make sure your lid has good locks on it--they are escape artists. He can get down just fine, don't worry. :) You might enjoy this forum if you love cornsnakes...lots of friendly, helpful experts. I've learned a lot from them.

Answer 4

my snake is two years old, and he still does that. one of my snakes died doing that, so be very careful and you might want to get a different lid, especially if your snake is getting stuck. whenever you see him up there, immediately take him down. they can get stuck and break their necks.

Answer 5
