How do I get my corn snake to come out more?

Question

My corn snake is 2 years old, and he spends a large amount of his time underneath his log. How do I get him to be more active. He is in a 20 gallon tank. Should I get him a bigger one?

Answer 1

well how hot is your tank?when did it eat last?and if your snake is a lot longer than your tank then yes you need a bigger tank. i have 2 snakes of my own ball Python's 1 is 3yrs and the other is about 7yrs.

Answer 2

Sounds like your snake is scared. Fill the cage with foliage or something. The snake won't come out if it feels threatened or exposed. Because of this I don't suggest a bigger enclosure. Also, the tank needs to be hotter. Do you have a basking lamp and an under-tank heating pad? (BTW do NOT under any circumstances use a heating rock. They can seriously burn your snake).  

Answer 3

yeah you should probably get him a new tank that's larger.

I have 2 also that are less than 2 months old, but how many feet long is he??

Answer 4

Should take him out more and handle him. Kind of play with him, you can do this every day if you want to. It works  I have my own corn snake, its a high-orange cornsnake.
