During daylight hours they may be found hiding under loose tree bark and beneath logs, rocks, and other debris. Corn Snakes prefer habitats such as overgrown fields, forest openings, and abandoned or seldom used buildings where their favorite food of mice and other small rodents is abundant. Like other rat snakes, Corn Snakes are excellent climbers and often climb high in trees looking for nestling birds and other prey. Corn Snakes overpower their prey by first biting to obtain a firm grip, and then quickly wrapping one or more coils of their body around the victim, squeezing tightly until it suffocates. The Corn Snake then swallows its food whole, usually beginning with the head of the animal. Like most other snakes, Corn Snakes do not usually eat every day and may often go for days or weeks between feedings. Sexing and Characteristics: A experiacned person can tell male to female from the size of the tail. males are longer and slender, while females are shorter and stubbyer

Enclosure and Space Requirements Floor Coverings and Enclosure Items Visual Security Climatic Considerations ... Artificial Incubation of Snake Eggs Enclosure and Space Requirements As a general rule, snakes require relatively little space because of their limited and nonexertional activity. Generally speaking, the size of the enclosure should allow inclusion of certain required items (discussed below) and still allow the snake adequate space to stretch out and move about. Snakes will use both the horizontal and vertical space within their enclosure if provisions are made for this activity. Aquaria or other similar glass or Plexiglas-lined enclosures are usually most suitable because they allow optimum visualization of and safety for the occupant(s), and help to maintain desirable environmental temperatures and generally high relative humidity levels. Wire-lined enclosures may afford adequate visualization of the snake but certainly cannot contribute to the maintenance of desirable environmental temperature and humidity levels. Further, such enclosures promote injuries to the rostrum (nose and surrounding tissues) as snakes repeatedly attempt to "escape" through the wire mesh. Any enclosure used must have a secure top and be escape-proof. All hinges and locks should be secure. All snakes are potential "escape artists" and many (especially the California King snakes) can escape form almost any apparently secure enclosure.

Snakes - General Hints and Tricks [Back to Snake Care Sheets] The following is a brief summary of topics that relate to you and your snake. Our intention is to provide general information and highlight issues we think are particularly important when dealing with snakes. At the end of this information sheet we listed the sources used to compile this information in addition to other sources you may want to consult when finding out about your snake. Choosing an Animal Housing Ideally, the habitat should be set up before the animal arrives at home. This will make the transition much less stressful for the snake. Size Construction The terrarium should be constructed of sturdy, non-porous, water resistant materials. For most species, an aquarium is ideal because it can be easily cleaned and disinfected. Alternatively, cages can be constructed of fiberglass (usually prefabricated units), melamine (prefab or home made), or plywood (home made, must be sealed). Regardless of the materials used, the cage must be sturdy and secure because snakes are incredible escape artists and will find any weakness in the design of the cage. If you construct your own cage be sure to ventilate it properly to allow cool air to enter the cage and hot air to escape. The most efficient cost effective way to accomplish this is to drill ventilation holes in the back near the bottom (cool air in) and top (hot air out) of the cage.

Related Books and Items Snakes are elongated, legless animals with dry, scale-covered skin. Their skin is unusually elastic, which allows it to stretch when large prey items are swallowed. Snakes are rather unique because of these features and because they lack moveable eyelids and external ear openings. Snakes may be only a few inches to several yards long. Snakes inhabit a wide variety of ecologic habitats: land, trees,u nderground, fresh water, and salt water. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. No native snakes are found on the islands of Hawaii, Iceland, New Zealand and Ireland. SELECTING A PET SNAKE Some snakes are rare, endangered and protected by law. These snakes may only be kept by zoos and legitimate herpetologists with the appropriate permits. This is also the case with venomous snakes, which should not, under any circumstances, be kept by the average hobbyist. The most common snakes kept by enthusiasts are the many and varied constrictor species (boas, pythons, rat and milk snakes, etc) and the racer, gopher and garter species. The husbandry and dietary requirements for these types of snakes vary considerably. Furthermore, some of the same species (notably the boa constrictors and pythons) reach very large sizes in captivity, and their considerable space requirements must be anticipated.

Protection of Snakes General Information Evolution of Snakes Snakes, like all living things, are the product of the process of evolution, which allows species to change over time in response to environmental factors to produce entirely new species. The engine of evolution is "natural selection", in which those individual animals that possess superior survival traits tend to live longer than others and reproduce, in turn passing those same traits on to their offspring. Snake Facts The largest snakes in the world are members of the family Boidae, which includes the boa and the python. Some members of this family never attain a length of more than 0.6 m (2 ft), but the largest may grow to more than 9 m (30 ft). Sea Snakes Sea snakes have specialized flattened tails for swimming and have valves over their nostrils which are closed underwater. They differ from eels in that they don't have gill slits and have scales. Due to their need to breathe air, they are usually found in shallow water where they swim about the bottom feeding on fish, fish eggs and eels. Introduction to Snakes Snakes are the most modern of reptiles, first appearing in the fossil record during the time of the dinosaurs. It is thought that they evolved from ground dwelling or burrowing lizards that exploited the survival advantages to be found in a cylindrical, legless body.

Racers, bullsnakes, milk snakes and green snakes are common egg-layers. The eggs are usually white and have an oblong, leathery-like shell. Eggs are normally deposited in a location that is moist and relatively warm such as sand, sawdust piles, rotting stumps, or under rocks. Snake eggs are not incubated like bird eggs; the warmth of the substrate and rays of the sun control the incubation process. Incubation may last up to 60 days before the young are fully developed and hatch. Other snakes, such as garter snakes and rattlesnakes, have live birth of the fully developed young (ovoviviparous). The fertile eggs develop within the maternal body. Food All snakes are predators. They must locate their prey before they seize it. Snakes will eat whatever they can catch, master, and swallow. Their prey is located by their senses of vision, smell, or thermosensitivity. The food they consume depends upon the animal’s size and the environment where it lives. Rattlesnakes eat rodents such as mice, ground squirrels, and the young of prairie dogs and cottontail rabbits. They also eat other snakes, lizards, birds, and insects. The average snake will consume two to

Snakes of Missouri Missouri Department of Conservation by Tom R. Johnson Herpetologist SNAKES have generated more fear and misunderstanding than any other group of animals. And psychologists have proven that a fear of snakes is acquired; we are not born with it. Once people Iearn some of the interesting facts about snakes and discover that most of them are harmless and beneficial, their aversion may diminish. With patience and understanding, almost anyone can overcome a dread of snakes and actually enjoy studying them. One thing is certain-even people with a welldeveloped fear of snakes are curious about them. Missouri, with it's wide variety of wildlife habitats prairies, Ozark hills and valleys, swamps, marshes has a total of 52 species and subspecies of snakes. (A subspecies is a geographic race of a species.) Most of our snakes are harmless. Although many may bite in selfdefense, their bite usually produces nothing more than harmless scratches. There are only five species of venomous snakes in all of Missouri and we describe them in a separate section of this pamphlet. Snakes are members of the Class Reptilia, a group that also includes turtles. alligators. crocodiles and lizards. Snakes and lizards are similar in many way, but there are some important differences. A clear nonmovable scale covers the eyes of all snakes, whereas most lizards have movable eyelids. Most lizards have legs, but some are legless. The slender glass lizard, which lives in the southern half of Missouri is an example; it looks like a snake because it has no legs, but like all our lizards, the slender glass lizard has movable eyelids and external ear openings, both of which are lacking in snakes. In addition, lizards have a pair of lungs, while most snakes have an elongated right lung and either no left lung or only a rudimentary one.
