MEET PEPPER: <br/>Pepper the corn snake arrived to Reptilia In 2018 as an adult and has been an ambassador animal in our education program as well as a zoo exhibit resident at Reptilia Whitby. While the age of Pepper is unknown, she is still an incredibly active anery morph looking to find a permanent home.

But, the bigger the better!<br/><br/>SETUP:<br/>Substrate: A mix of dirt, sand and mulch would be best and allow for burrowing. Provide at least 3-4 inches of substrate.<br/>At least one hide in the enclosure, but providing a warm hide and a cool hide is best.<br/>A water bowl, large enough for the snake to soak in.<br/><br/>LIGHTING:<br/>Lighting: Corn snakes require a day and night cycle. UVB is not required but there are some benefits of having UVB, such as improves overall health and immune system.<br/><br/>ENVIRONMENT:<br/>75-80°F on the cool side and 80-85°F on the warm side. Basking spot should be 88-92°F. Humidity levels are best between 30%- 60%<br/><br/>DIET:<br/>Mice, rats, quail, chicks, and eggs are all good, readily available food options.<br/><br/><br/>TEMPERMENT:<br/>Corn snakes are a very common pet snake, and a fantastic beginner snake! They tend to have a calm temperament, although can be very active and tend to move around a lot more than other common pet snakes, such as ball pythons. Very reliable eaters, and very entertaining to watch while they explore their surroundings.<br/>Lifespan can range from 25- 35 years!<br/><br/>For more information about our adoption program at Reptilia Whitby, please email zoo.whitby@reptilia.org
