yes a hatchling corn snake can go in a vivarium with an adult corn snake but only if the adult corn is very tame and feed well and there needs to be lots of hiding places for the hatchling corn snake to hide about 5 hides
Perhaps it's not hungry - or it's shedding - or the temperature of the vivarium is wrong.
The length of a Corn snake can be up to 72 inches.
To help a fat corn snake achieve a healthy weight, it is recommended to feed it a diet of appropriately sized prey items, such as mice or rats, every 7-10 days. It is important to monitor the snake's body condition and adjust feeding frequency as needed. Additionally, providing regular exercise opportunities and ensuring a proper habitat temperature and humidity levels can also contribute to the snake's overall health and weight management.
Common signs of an underweight corn snake include visible ribs, spine, and hip bones, as well as a lack of muscle mass. To help your snake regain a healthy weight, you can increase the frequency of feeding, offer larger prey items, and ensure the enclosure temperature and humidity levels are appropriate for digestion and overall health. Regular monitoring of weight and consulting with a veterinarian are also important steps in the process.
Rat snakes are generally black whereas corn snakes are orangey yellowy and look like ground up corn.
