What does Corn Snake damage?
Heat lamps in captivity can harm corn snakes if they are placed where the snake can get very close to it. To prevent this a wire mesh cage should be placed around the lamp
How long can a one-and-a-half year old corn snake live without food water or a heat source?
They cannot go without a heat source. The temperatures must be consistent or they will die.
If you have a corn snake does it need a heat mat and a heat pad or just one or the other If so which one?
Heat mat & heat pad - are just different names for the same piece of equipment.
Is it all right to use heat lamp for a corn snake I use a heating pad but he seems more happy with both bad idea?
It is alright to use a heat lamp for a corn snake in combination with a heating pad as long as the snake has a place to go where he can escape both. Corn snakes don't live an extremely high temperatures and do well between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As long as he has a place to go that is between or lower than these temperatures he should be fine, preferably a shaded area such as under a crevice or "snake house".
Is using a heating lamp for corn snakes My corn snake seems a lot happier with both heating lamp and pad is that all right?
Using a heating lamp for a corn snake is not a bad thing, however not necessary. As a North American species it is adapted to live at low temperatures during winter and high temperatures during summer. During lower temperatures snakes become less active and can hibernate. The addition of both a heat lamp and heat pad won't harm the snake as long as the snake has a place to go to escape both if it so chooses.
How much money do you need to put aside for a pet corn snake?
Depends entirely on the species of snake but... Vivarium £120 Substrate £5-£10 (depending on the size of the vivarium) Heat Mat £10-£20 (depending on size) Infra-red ceramic bulb £20 Thermostats £20 each Lock £5 (to stop the corn snake getting out AND people getting in un-supervised !) Electricity - £2-£3 a week depending on the power needs of the heat sources. Corn Snake - around £80-£100 depending on size and morph. Total - £300. Proper research - to enable you to look after a snake correctly - PRICELESS !

Does a corn snake eat corn?
corn snakes are called that because back then farmers found them climbing on the cornstalks and basking heat. Additionally, the pattern on their bellies resembles that of corn. Like all snakes corn snakes are carnivores and can only eat other animals. Corn snakes prey mostly on rodents.
Will a corn snake go from eating live mice to eating frozen mice?
Yes, but it will take some persistence. Frozen mice should be warmed using a heat lamp or warm water until they are above room temperature, so that the snake can see them (they see using heat sensitive vision), and then you can use hemostats (kind of like giant tweezers) to wiggle the mouse in front of the snake so that it appears to be alive.
Are you able to keep a slowworm in a viv suitable for a corn snake with a heat mat etc if so what would i feed it?
The slow worm is now a protected species ! You shouldn't be keeping one in captivity.
How much does a snake cost?
It all depends on what type of snake you are interested in, most cost between $45-$100. EDIT: In the UK - a typical corn snake complete set-up, including the young snake would cost around £250 ($375 USD) - That's for the wooden vivarium, heat & light sources, thermostat, substrate and other 'sundry' items...
