Do you use UVA/UVB lights on your snakes
I dont know if you guys nknow this but i want an albino okettee how do i breed to get more
what kind of corn snake is in the video? (she/he is so cool!)
Hey , quick question ... i've seen different opinions about this online and wanted to know if corn cob would serve as a good substrate for a corn snake ?
I love your editing style for this vid, 30 seconds in and I'm loving it.
I just sat through a 31 minute video about corn snakes when I don’t have any plans for getting one. Great video alex
Amber Schwendinger same I don't have any snakes LOL😂😂😂 it never hurts to watch. It is good content Alex.
Same
same.... we stan you Alex
Same
I plan on getting one.....
In like 6 years
Holy magicarp... this is so well made!!! Setting the bar HIGH for the reptile community for sure!!
MagiKARP.
I agree
I hope that you still say holy magicarp even after 2 years
"Holy magicarp"
I'm dying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me: *knows the word is snake*
my last brain cell: "snack"
um.... pretty sure it’s pronounced “snek”

I actually call my snake a snacc
Thank you so much man I was using pine for my corn snake and she still a baby and she could’ve died and I swear to God thank you so much I bought her the forest floor bedding and she’s so much better and happier
Lunar Storm3 I’m so glad
Phew
disaster averted
I want a corn snake so bad. I held a baby corn one time and it was one of the cutest animals I've ever held
Da Dragon Durp you won’t regret it ❤️
I want one too but my dad is not too happy about that because apparently snakes don’t bond with people and he doesn’t like that they carry salmonella EVEN THOUGH you just wash it hands after handling a snake... I guess I just have to wait until I’m older so I can move out or buy my own
Im with you but "i need to be more resposible" i want an albino okettee corn snake
E Fireman, YESSSSSSS. I LOVE them
I see u everywhere wtf
As someone who keeps, and has bred corn snakes a few times. You hit their care spot on for the “pet owner” community. You did a great job explaining every aspect of their care in-depth. Overall very well done, this video is going to be a great resource for experienced corn snake keepers (such as myself) and novice keepers alike! Awesome job!👍🏻🐍

•Julia• Morais• I’m proud of you but incredibly disappointed
I love that you went out into nature for reference! I feel like so often we design snake enclosures based on our preferences and not in a authentically natural way. Yes!
I'm watching this after losing my housemates Corn snake under the floorboards today.
First time spending time with her and I messed up completely. Had to have the basement ceiling smashed open to rescue her. My housemate will just love returning from holiday to find her basement wall missing 😕
Amy Tehrani update??
Rip
did you find her
Update??
My mom bought a corn snake for me on a whim because I’ve always wanted a king snake. It was a surprise and I was not ready. So thank you for this video. I will still keep learning, but I need to know the immediate basics :)
Hell yeah your mom sounds so cool! I wanted a king snake but I see so many videos about how they are aggressive and bite
Dang. This is AWESOME. I honestly don't think I've seen a better video care guide than this. A++++
I know
Corn snakes are *×xXcuteXx×*
FINNALLY every other corn snake guide was just them making their enclosure.
Very Impressed! I have owned 5+ corn snakes and still learned a lot from this video! I’ll admit, I’m 34 and at first thought to myself...”what is this kid going to teach me?” But you definitely shut me up..haha. Keep doing your thing kid! Awesome Job!
I'm just concerned about the feet on the top right corner ;-;
yeah me too
Where?
OMG WHAT IS THAT LOL AND WHAT FOR
Same

Okay, I'm only 3:06 into your video and it's the best I've ever seen done for any pet! You speak very clear, you are very knowledgeable but not overwhelming for beginners (like me) I feel like I'm watching a show on Discovery Channel, well done young man!
I'm so glad you linked where and what to get because I get so lost on what to get and have no idea where to go.
My science teacher has 10+ snakes (30+ pets overall) in his classroom, and one of those snakes is a corn snake. He's super chill and and friendly and just overall, everyone's favorite.
"I did one very long ago, it's very old, please don't watch it"
Proceeds to search for old video
It's so weird how in America they do not sell Wooden Vivariums. Here in the UK you can only buy wooden vivariums in the reptile sections unless you buy a fish tank!
Michelle Dupley true, but we do have exo terror vivs, but I find them small 😂 unless I have like £150 for a big one.
Holly Maxwell Oh yeah, Exo-Terra are really expencive!! But so are most of the wooden vivariums *especially in Pets At Home* and Exo-Terra are mainly for Lizards I have found.
Michelle Dupley That is very true! I just managed to grab a wooden viv (3ft long and 3ft high) for £40 on Shpock!
Holly Maxwell so did I haha! Same size but £20 lmao
we got pvc enclosures which are very nice and customizable but man they are expensive.
I feel like I say this every video, but your editing and information is superb. Thanks for being a great example to the reptile community.
thank you!
Decided on a corn snake a couple days ago, this was more informative than a lot of forums and google searches. Thank you so much.
I was just told by my parents after 2 months of asking that I could get a corn snake and I was able to get information from videos like this along with other TH-cam channels so thanks Alex great video
Sweet...what kind did u get?
I was told i can get one after 4 years finally
Lol I had to move out before I was “allowed” to get one. Since have moved out and looking for one
You should have showed us your corn snake enclosure
he did!
This video is so well made, I am honestly so amazed. The community is so lucky to have someone who is as passionate and as informative as you.
omg i love how foolproof this is and how well organized. i've always LOVED this channel. great vid
Everybody else: taking notes*
Me, an intellectual: rewatching it to memorize the needs
Note: I'm not actually doing that, Im planning to write it down in a second, just i want to kinda get the gist of it so if/when i get a snake, i can get used to it better.
Anyways great video!
I'm probably not going to get a corn snake in years, but I watched anyway. These videos are so well made and informative, and I love your humour. Keep up the good work!
u got one yet?
Got one yet
@@elijah.9139 Yeh, got two almost at the same time. They're siblings, turned three years old this autumn.
I Just got my first snake (corn snake). Thanks for this video! I was thinking of a ball python but i didnt want to mess with humidity or UVB lights yet.
I haven’t gotten a snake yet but my dad wants a ball python but I really want a corn snake to start off with since I have never had my own snake before
6:11 on the right bottom! Is that a turtle?! Lol
yeah,it is!
I saw that too haha
This made me feel so comfortable & secure about buying my corn snake
I'm thinking of getting a corn snake and this was so helpful. Thank you!
I love how the whole video he's just chilling with a snake on his shoulder like, I want that ❤️
Experienced herper here. Very excellent video. You immediately raised the bar by introducing the audience to their natural habitat and going from there. Subbed.
I really appreciate the fact that you focus on the animal more than anything else... what is good for the snake, what makes them comfortable, what makes them happy. You have done and incredible job!
6:03 lol turtle just walking around on bottom right corner😂
Awesome video my teen boys just got corn snakes and this was very informative to teach them the ins and outs!
This video was very well edited and polished. You spoke clearly and your points were well laid out and supported. The timestamp guide in the description is a bonus. Good job, dude.
I’m gonna get my snek soon. Sadly in Australia you can only get Australian species like blue tongues, beardies, Australian pythons and turtles, so no tortoises, leopard geckos, ball pythons or corn snakes. Great vid anyways.
Beluga Herping :( How sad. Can you not even get a permit for an exotic species?
Beluga Herping ...get a woma python
I can get a permit for Aussie species and you can get exotic birds but not mammals or reptiles. Except axolotls
Edit you can get marsupials with a license and without a license you can get deer, game birds, some native reptiles and birds, exotic birds and exotic fish. (Exotic being non native.)
Ps this only applies to the state of Victoria where i live, other states have different laws but only native reptiles can be kept Australia wide.
Makes sense because uneducated people release their exotic species into the wild and it causes major problems.
Weird. I’m in Australia and I have a corn snake 🐍
I’m getting a corn snake next week or so and this guide was extremely helpful! Very clear and useful, unlike other rather vague sites I’ve visited. Thank you very much!

This is amazing, every time I had a question you wound up answering it moments later. Better yet, perfect feeding instructions!!! So many people use percentages for most pets, which aren't great when it comes to measuring proportions. Thank you.
This was extremely helpful. I used this video and multiple other sources to get myself informed in the care. After years of research I feel ready and im actually picking up my first snake tomorrow!!
C'mon get that 100K! I know you can do it. Been here for a year since 28k
ooh boy, it may be around the corner if we keep this momentum up, thank ya!
This is one of the best care videos I've seen so far!
This was actually super helpful because I see alot of differing opinions on enclosures and heating types and this video laid out both sides in a helpful way! Got my first baby corn last week and picking up my second this week!
I just wanted to say... thank you so much for all your videos! I literally watched every video you have on snakes, and last week I just got my first corn snake ever! He's a lil yearling (I named him Soy Bean), and he is also an albino snek like Gobi. :) I just fed him for the first time ever today (I was so nervous!) but he ate it like a champ, and I was so pleased. I can't wait to bond with him more. Will continue to support your channel - can't wait for more content!!!!
Youve introduced me to my wallets death.... I could mix all three with layering providing a strip down the center of the enclosure(running from hot to cold) of aspen to allow them to burrow if they are so intrested place the soil along the bottom and then on the top place the last fibers ....
Oml, thank you so much for this video. I'm going to get a corn snake for my birthday(in two weeks) and I need to be ready for it. ^-^ I'm so glad you made this video.
I love that you show the natural habitat. I don't think I've ever seen a pet care guide where they cover that, and it makes a lot of sense.
Dude thank you so much for this video! I'm gonna adopt a cornsnake soon and many resources I found are outdated or contradict each other. Good to finally have all the info in depth and in one place. Been taking notes harder than I ever did for uni, lol :D
Thank you so much for making this amazing video! I am using a lot of this info to convince my parents why I should be able to get a corn snake! Thank you again Alex
Just got a blizzard corn snake today!! She’s so tiny and I’m so excited, thanks Alex! :-)
This was a way better video than what I have been searching up for hours on Corn snake care. I've always wanted a Corn snake and this video helped me so much with what I need to know before I get one.
The one thing that really stands out about you is that you went to the habitat. I haven’t seen that yet. Amazing. I really appreciate this attention to detail, as it helps me build an appropriate enclosure for the animal. Subbed, proudly.
Wow this is so thorough! Almost all of my questions were answered. But I do a follow up. Would you recommend making a humidity box? And how often do they shed?
This video is sooo well made and will be extremely helpful for me when get my snake!
You're so incredible. This video told me more than 20 different websites did. Just the fact that you (clearly) put so much dedication into this video shows how amazing you are. Thank you so much.
thank you!
Literally the best video I've watched on corn snakes so far!! Thank you for all the great info
much more informative , i feel like my snake is now gonna live
Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot and I can’t wait for when I’m finally ready to get a snake 💕
This is my favorite corn snake video. My Maizey is a very healthy girl but I always like to update my knowledge and I've been looking for a complete video on corn snake habitats and feeding and this is the best one yet! I am excited to see what other videos you have
Quite possibly the most in depth care video I’ve seen
im getting an albino corn snake JUST LIKE YOURS and same size lol!! my first one, i only had a ball phyton. i live in vegas, in the desert, we dont have humidity and my room is about 30% humidity so... PERFECT. thank you so much for this awesome video
Getting a blizzard corn snake once they start to hatch this summer time!
Also the editing was soooooooo good on this! Keep on keeping on bud!
I have never learned so much about snakes in one video. This is amazing!!! Also I know you posted this 2 years ago but I’m getting a corn snake in a couple of days and wanted to double check I had all my information correct!!! Thankyou!!!
me: *feeds my snake*
my snake after she eats: ALRIGHT MAMA ITS PLAY TIME*
me: NOOO
Mine be like: *S L E E P*
Ive had my snow corn for just over a year but wanted to brush up on my info for keeping him. This was perfect! Thanks dude!
That was a staggering amount of info. What was even more impressive was the delivery. Thank you and keep up the great work!
thank you!
i am using a 40 breeder tank with a top and my corn snake loves it so much
Every day I've been waited for you to upload lol😂🤣😁
Thank you for making this. I have been doing research on corn snakes for about a week. I really want to get one, but I want to make sure I do everything right.
I know I’m super late to the party and dozens have already said this- but seriously Alex, this video was superb! A great in detail care guide with proper and detailed explanations for why each thing is necessary, and unbelievably beautiful editing that looks completely professional and very aesthetic. You’re definitely very skilled at making extremely well crafted videos 👍
This is insanely well made and I understood and was able to pay attention which is insane considering I didn’t take my adhd meds today lol! I’m planning on getting a corn snake for Christmas but my mom might hate me just for asking lmfao /hj thanks for making this :)
Thank you so much for this informative, clear guide! Sooo appreciate it! :)
This was so helpful! Im getting a snakke next month and going to buy some things tomorrow. Im so excited
Thank you so much. I did most of my research by your videos and a few other TH-camrs, and after around a week of convincing, my parents are finally letting me get a corn snake. In the past I tried getting a ball python but they never let me. I'm glad I'm getting a corn snake instead because they're generally cheaper to take care of, and a lot less picky and more nice.
Thanks!
I would've died if he said, "Also don't put the mice in the toaster..."
What an amazing job with the editing on this video. Keep it up, man.
Just got a baby corn snake and I was worried the humidity was too low at 35% but thanks for reassuring me. It's always hard when seeing so much contradicting information online and your guide is just perfect! I've been paranoid about my danger noodle but im probably mostly freaking out over nothing ahah.
You are awesome. Thank you so much for admitting that there is no perfect way to do this. I hate it when people say that my way is perfect and everyone else’s is wrong. I find it to be incredibly arrogant and failing to see that there are different ways to achieve the goal. Love your channel!
Super helpful thank you now I’m going to try to convince my parents bc I really want a corn snake they are beautiful I want want😍
I haven’t seen anyone mention the turtle on the floor 😂
Ikr! I saw that as well XD
This video gave me the best vibes and now I know how to take care of my corn snake thank you bro.
My new corn snake arrives today!!!! So I'm pretty pumped. Just rewatching for joy.
Great guide,perfect for a beginner like me..breaks everything down! You've gotten me convinced to get a corn snake..just have to convince my girlfriend..lol
Please continue this type of guide ! and i absolutely love that the first thing you show is the NATURAL habitat !
I have 2 corn snakes and they both are in 20gal tanks and I use heat lamps on the top of the tanks, and they are fine, my female is young, only 2yrs old, and my male is 7 yrs old, he was a rescue, and they are doing great, thank you for the info, it help me a bit more.
This is why I am a subscriber to this guys channel. He is intelligent. He knows his stuff. Listen to him people!!!
**me watching snake videos for the past hour at 2:30am on a school night knowing damn well my parents would never let me get a snake**
this is so helpful!! tysm my dude! xx
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've not used just your video but I used it as a start to my research for achieving my life long dream of owning a snake!
Appreciating your style and wishing more youtubers were as natural. Nothing fake, silly or nars about you. Great editing skills & knowledge too.
I love the effort you put in this 🌸 Impressed! 🐍
Great intro!
Hi there buddy and thanks for your great video. I bought my first ever snake about 5 weeks ago, a 2 year old male sun-kissed (I think) corn. I named him Syd Vicious, he's not at all vicious but he's definitely a Syd. He had me worried for a bit because he wouldn't come out of his hide until I found his shed whole skin in the vivarium. Now he's out and about more and a lot prettier. He gobbles his adult thawed mice down great and provides his smelly thing usually in the same spot. These are truly great snakes. You're doing well for someone of your young age so, keep it up buddy. Well done. Subscribed and liked. John isle of Wight, U.K.
Clearly so much effort in this video. Alex cares for his animals so well❤️
U deserve more subs than you have
thanks haha
