Corn Snakes

Corn Snakes
by Hannah

Corn snakes make good first pets for many children and the novice herpetologist. Corn snakes only have to be fed once a week. They can be fed pinkies, which are baby mice. Pinkies can be purchased fresh or frozen from a pet store or a snake show. You only have to remove the feces once a week, for cleaning the cage. They need to be kept warm and you can use a warming stone or a heat lamp, designed for snake cages. Corn snakes do not get very big and are constrictors, so they are non-venomous snakes. Corn snakes live for 23 years and they are very healthy. They are easy to breed and you can get them as a baby. They can come in many varieties of colors. If you are looking for a good pet, the corn snake is a good choice.

Snakes

By Hannah

  The   first  time  I  held  a  snake was  at  the  Cincinnati  Zoo.   After   the  Cincinnati  Zoo,  I  went   to   the    reptile   show.  I  saw  a  lot  snakes  there.   I   held   corn  snakes,   ball  pythons,  even   a   reticulated  python.  But   I   sometimes   wonder   how   long    I   been   waiting  for   a    snake.   The   reptile   show    is    coming   on   Sun.  and    it   costs  5.00.  I   can   handle   lots   of    snakes.
