Hey Mia! Love your videos theyre always so helpful! I am curious about the garden plant hangers in your enclosure (not sure what theyre technically called but the brown ones in the background lol) - what do you secure those on? i think its a brilliant idea Im just unsure what to hang them on as i move my snake into a PVC enclosure. Thanks so much!

This is a lot to take in but wow…great job!

Would coco fiber work instead of soil?

Found your video but I was getting fish the other day and saw the prettiest little corn snake so now I'm doing research and saving up some money to get the little thing or a different one because she? Was popular but I've wanted a snake and think they're so so cute. I can't get one that will get super super big so six feet maximum is like perfect for me and I think corn snakes are just the cutest. They're actually my favorite non venomous snake my favorite venomous one is the spikey emerald green viper things I forget their name right now It's kinda weird considering they're my fav. This was really informational and I took notes like I was in school you've given me great advice now for more research on them and their fav stuff to do/see/have. I love live plants all my fish have them but oh boy is it different for snakes 😅 I really appreciate creators like you that express concern rather than anger and educate instead of hating on other set ups. I'll be fully setting an enclosure up and then having my friend who has many snakes check it out and give advice in person ask a few others and then hopefully get a new friend but this time it will be just scales not fins😂 any opinions on live feeding vs frozen? Ik many say not to live feed and if you do watch them closely but I heard it's best not to especially with corn snakes since they can be more susceptible to scale rot or mouth rot if torn up by prey.

4:07 hey guys this video has a lot of great info but make sure that the baby inclosure is not too big. If it is, they could feel stressed and not eat. I have a 17 inch baby corn and he’s in a 20 gallon long. Do your research and choose what you think is best.

Thanks for the video! I loved the quantity and quality of information, especially regarding heating and lighting.

This is the video I needed, thank you

We have had ENDLESS problems with our Zen Habitats 4 x 2 x 4. The top lid didn’t fit. The doors stuck when we tried to open and close them. I want to emphasize that the company does NOT have a customer service phone number. Every request for help has to be done through email, and you don't always get the same service representative. We thought we'd done enough research and bought these back in June. Some parts were backordered for months, and now they don't all fit together the way they claim they will. We were going to stack 2 tanks and a spacer, but we're now terrified to try it. The enclosures seem so flimsy. I am frankly pretty fed up and devastated. If I could get my money back I'd get something different, but there's a 30 day money back guarantee--and when your parts come in drabs or drabs, then the 30 days are up way before you can put the tank together and test it. My daughter doesn't want to deal with it anymore and is willing to use duct tape, but I am furious.

incredible video, shocked how small of a channel this is

Our snakes' favorite hides are cereal or Cheezit boxes ripped in half....

I feel so overwhelmed. We just moved from Florida--corn snake native habitat--to Michigan. We didn't use UVB and lighting in Florida. We took our snakes outside to "use the facilities" along with their canine siblings and let them climb bushes. They were exposed to regular sunshine. Now, after 7-8 years, we need to completely re-do our tanks to make sure they're warm enough and getting enough light in a Michigan winter. We got our male a 4 x 2 x 4 so he can climb indoors, but I'm not sure how we're going to get the heat to the bottom of the tank without an UTH. It's a lot drier up here, too.

I've never agreed with people saying that starting in a bigger enclosure is stressful for the baby snake. My bug-eyed super lesser is going on a month old and she LOVES exploring her 120 gallon tank. Maybe it's different from each snake, but I definitely agree that it depends on how your setup is. Edit: If you use a glass enclosure, you can make it conduct heat and humidity better by adding an expanding foam to cover the glass and make a nice background. Especially if you color the foam using grout

Now that you have had both which of the two 4x2x4 would you recommend?

What a great video, thank you ❤

uu pretty and like animals too.. 🆒😌🫶🏾

You need more videos like now 😂😂😂

You say not to use peat moss, but peat moss is in your Amazon storefront?? Genuinely confused. I’m looking to buy substrate from homedepot but not sure exactly which one. I just don’t wanna buy the peat moss.

7:25 I do think you should specify here that you want the range for 2 to 3 in the BASKING spot, NOT throughout the entire enclosure. There are essentially 2 ways of providing UVB, a lower gradient (think 0.7-1) through a wider area OR a higher level at a specific basking spot, with the option for the animal to move out of that and find places in its enclosure with no UVB at all. (These are called the shade and sunbeam methods respectively) If you are getting a UVI of over 2 throughout your enclosure then that is *way too much* uvb for a corn snake and you can seriously harm them. 2.0 to 3.0 should be the MAXIMUM UVI in any spot your snake could reach, not the average. Otherwise really great video.

can you do a video on substrate? and bioactive cages?

Great Video!!! I subscribed.

I’ve been out of the pet industry for years. This is helpful so I can get back up to date

Considering dubia just made a post in the last week or so that their enclosure killed a bearded dragon due to manufacturing errors and previous posts about leopard geckos dying between the glass and the substrate barrier i would just stay away from them.

Can I just use a deep heat projector as the only heat source for day and night and a uvb for lighting during the day? Or do I still need a basking light for daytime heat?

I’m not sure if you can answer this but any help would be appreciated I have a three month old ball python she’s in a 40gl tank ( I had it left over from my bearded dragon) but I’ve been looking at 4x2x2 tanks and one is on sale right now, the breeder I got her from said most females get 3ft to 5ft, would it be a good idea to get the 4x2x2 tank (risking that she might get 5ft) or should I wait sorry this is long 😭

I'm currently doing a lot of research on corn snake enclosures so that i can upgrade my baby's enclosure. I'm filming my journey so that people can help me if i make mistakes. Your video gives such good advice on what to do! I love that you're not just sticking to the community's minimum enclosure guidelines and actually going all out on what a corn snake actually needs!

Thank you, this was what I was looking for. All the information explained in detail. How the F you ain't got more subs is beyond me. New one one now tho

Cool video! :) I have three ball pythons I love them!

As someone who owns reptiles I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from this video so hands down SO THANK YOU

thanks

thank u!!

I want to use a RUB tub for my baby corn's growing out enclosure. Would I still be using the same heating and lighting products, or are there better alternatives? This video was so informative!

I have some grapevine wood given to me for free. I would love to use it in my ball python enclosure. I was going to use sealant but I am overwhelmed with what sealant to use.

Great video! So If I buy some organic topsoil from Lowe’s Home Improvement, you recommend me to heat it in the Oven?

Hi you didn’t say much about the cleanup crew, what species of isopods / springtails would you recommend, and how many should you buy for a 4x2x2 enclosure?

Is okay to have your baby snake in a 4x2x2? Or do you have to start smaller

You should make a video on milk snakes/king snakes

This has been such a helpful video! We've had our cornsnake for nearly 3 weeks and I'm getting her 3ft viv set up whilst she's in her quarantine tank! I am sooo paranoid about her escaping and even though my husband thinks I'm crazy I have sealed every gap I can possibly think off! I started worrying that the 3ft was too big but she's already around 86cm/17inches and loves to explore so feel a bit more confident now that she'll enjoy it. I have the shadeweller prot5 uvb and halogen heat bulb but need to get another for night time. I'm in the uk and whilst the temps are okay now my house can get quite cold in the winter. I have a dimming thermostat for the halogen bulb but my other thermostat is an on/off thermostat. What night time lamp would be best to use with that?

Thanks for the info! i enjoyed the video and def coming back to it so i can set up the best enclosure for my babes :)) please keep it up <3

I'm looking into getting a baby corn snake in the future, but the enclosure and heating topic is stumping me. I see pros and cons of both overhead and mat heating, both are fire hazards, both require a thermostat, both are said to be appropriate for corn snakes specifically. Would a heat mat make more sense with the snakes being the burrowing type? Would a perfect enclosure have both on timers?

Rack system ok?

I may not be understanding but if i want to set up a bioactive vivarium, im gonna need a halogen, uvb, deep heat, and led grow lights? Could i just get the halogen and the led grow lights since my house is kinda warmer at night?

You are so pretty and so smart!! Love the videos!!

This was recommended to me right after I finished building my DubiaRoaches enclosure! I just recently adopted a female ball (she's undersized to the point where she can't be bred) but she is the SWEETEST thing. Awesome video though!

I love you and your vid’s came from your insta❤❤

I came from your TikTok post about your corn snake. I love the enclosure. I have to ask, where you got your decor piece that looks like a flower petal with a like cobblestone base. Please I’m begging 😭 it’s so cute

U are so underrated remember me when u get to over like 1m subs I hope u reach any goal u get and can u make one on a crested gecko ?😊

the example about the ball python road trip sounded a little personal lol

Those enclosures behind you are huge! But I think you should probably show people how you create an enclosure, not just talking about it. Great video though!

Thank you so much for this video, this is exactly what I needed!!!
