2. I feel like the reason a 120G tank for a cornsnake is controversial is simply because they don’t always reach 4-5ft in length.
   To my knowledge (official snake owner of 4 years but I’ve been around snakes since I was 3) the size of the enclosure is mostly based off a snake’s length, as they need enough room to fully stretch out but also not feel extremely exposed while exploring.

   Obviously 20G is WAY too small, but 80G is completely fine if your corn only reaches 3-3 1/2ft. You don’t want to put them in too big a tank because they’re more likely to steer away from exploring, even if you have plenty of enrichment, because they’ll feel exposed. Plus, it’s way harder to balance the heat gradient in bigger tanks which can cause its own list of issues.

3. we got our baby corn snake 3 weeks ago and just love him! he's been eating nice and easy, and he's so curious and playful. i didn't know that they may want to soak in their water sometimes. our reptile shop gave us a small bowl with their snake kits which isn't big enough for him to soak in. though i imagine he's not close to shedding yet, so perhaps we have some time to find him a bigger bowl.

7. i watched this video as research for my first snake a couple months ago, and i got my baby son, butters, at my local reptile store for 60 bucks. he's a butter morph he just turned 5 months old a week ago. he's super sweet and easy to handle. i really fully reccommend going to a reputable reptile specific store to purchase. i was able to talk to the breeder himself (he works at the store, but usually the reptile store will have contact with the breeder whose animals they sell..if they're a good store lol) and ask every question i could think of. he had been handling butters and his siblings since birth so even at 4 months old they were totally chill and well socialized. he eats very well, in common corn snake fashion.

21. Does anyone have any good substrate without coconut in it, for someone who’s allergic to coconut? 😢

22. I wonder if it would be possible for me to buy one that's a bit older rather than a very young snake. I'm almost going to turn 47 and I do worry that if it's several more years before I can even get a pet snake that it might outlive me. Maybe if I got one that was already half way through its life then that would be less likely to happen.
