Feeding the Hypomelanistic Corn Snake
Feed your Hypo Corn Snake one defrosted mouse or rat a week, no larger than the widest part of the body. Once they reach maturity they can be fed every other week, and can be offered small rats, chicks, and other species that are the appropriate size.
Ensure that all frozen prey items are thoroughly defrosted in a fridge overnight, then brought up to room temperature before being offered to the snake. Prey can either be offered on tongs, or left in the vivarium for the snake to find.
Housing Hypo Corn Snake
Creating a suitable environment is critical for the well being of your snake.
A Hypo Corn Snake should be housed in a minimum of a 90cm vivarium, upgrading to a 120cm once they reach maturity. Lots of hides should be provided for the snake to feel safe, as well as a moss filled hide to aid shedding, and a water bowl large enough for the snake to soak in if it feels like it.
Make sure that waste is removed as soon as possible, and that the vivarium, decor, and water bowl are cleaned regularly with a reptile safe disinfectant.
Where is the Hypomelanistic Corn Snake from?
The Hypomelanistic corn snake is a species mainly found in North America that kills its small prey by constriction.
Why do these snakes make the perfect pet?
Their gentle nature, moderate fully grown size, low likelihood to bite and pattern, as well as simple care needs, mean that they are relatively easy to keep as a pet.
Hypomelanistic Corn Snake diet
Young Hypo Corn Snake should initially be fed pink mice, and move to adult mice as they grow bigger. Larger snakes may be able to eat smaller rodents such as gerbils, hamsters and young rats.
It is important to not feed live rodents to your corn snake, as a bite may injure your snake.

My handsome baby boy came at the exact time that he was supposed to show up so I didn’t have to wait and wonder. I was nervous as I’ve never ordered a live animal online before but he came healthy and active. He is now in his enclosure here, still healthy and active. I am so happy of my purchase and our new family member. My wife named him Wayne after my dads snake who’s name was Bruce. I will with out a doubt be ordering and recommending Buyreptileonline.com in the near future.

He is beautiful. I was worried because he came cold and very limp to the point where I thought he was dead even though he was packaged properly. I think there may have been an issue with the heat pack. I contacted someone who took the time to text me and sort of listen to my concerns. I’m letting him acclimate and hoping he’ll be okay.
