i dont know the sex yet only had him/her for two days now. But i always wanted a snake so i figured why not get one. Very cool snake doesn't bite at all and loves to be held.

Only consern is i was holding him today and he started to sneeze i was trying to figure it out. Few things they said on the internet when i did some research said it could be that hes starting to shed and has some skin in the nose or the fact that I switched to an aspen or cocoa bedding like substrate and he was in a sandy one before. They said that some of the aspen or cocoa substrate could have gotten in the way of his nose canal and causes them to sneeze. Also that It could not be warm enough in the tank but i have the recommended 60 watt daylight bulb on him with a heat pad under the tank and he goes the cold side. If anyone knows anything about the topic please do share i dont wanna return this guy hes awesome already Just have to wait till tomorrow and see if he eats then i should know something is up.

Here are the pics!! enjoy

They kept him on sand? lolwut. But either way, nice snake.. although im not a fan of corns haha. And if he goes to the cold side it means he's too hot. But he is just thermo regulating
 
Yeah i know right thanks for the response but i figured i might buy all three i saw at the pet store The reason they had them on sand was so that they buyers could see them and they couldn't burrow underneath the sand they all were in a 10 gallon tank I was upset to see this so i thought i might just buy all three tomorrow or friday and throw them in a 55 gallon to see how they are Till they get bigger then ill separate.

I cant see what the sneezing part could be i mean it only happened three times but i noticed im not hearing any noises from the tank nor am i seeing any abnormal activity he seems to be okay. But i cant wait till he gets bigger.

Anyone know the Growth rate on Corn snakes?
