I picked up my new cornsnake yesterday and put her in a faun id getting as a snake starter kit the temp fluctuates a bit when stat turns mat on and off between 27 and 32 at hot end is this ok or would changing the stat probe from under substrate in faun to under faun on mat reduce this fluctuation? and where's best for temp probe under or on substrate? And is it normal for them to bury themselves under substrate as she's been there since yesterday afternoon?
Any help would be great thanks
Carl
oh and any name suggestions for a female snow corn fire away lol
I'll start with lumi it means snow in Finnish and is the name of the snow queen in fable |

Well lumi it is :-) will she start to come out more once settled or have i just bought a burrower lol its a nightmare finding her in a faun without lifting it up to look at bottom or taking lid off completely which id rather not do or will kitchen roll be a better idea? |

Seems pointless having 2 hides when she's chose to just bury herself nowhere near them lol yeah i quite like lumi too but its not set in stone just yet :-) |

Oh, Lumi is pretty. All my corns have ended up with 'corny' American names but I do like unusual names. There's also 'Moti' or 'Chandi' which are Hindi for 'pearl' and 'silver', Jasmine, after the flower, or 'Luna' for the moon. But I think 'Lumi' is great.
Yes, corns love to burrow - and hatchlings can get where water can't - I too have had mad panics thinking I've lost one and it's been peacefully curled up in the viv like a tiny shoelace, totally invisible lol. Your setup sounds fine. |

Yes it is a microclimate mat stat |

yes its normal for them to hide under the substrate.
are you using an microclimate matstat? if so then that temp fluctuation is normal, my microclimate matstats are setup to the same temps as you are getting |
