The Cornsnake Illusionist
May 11, 2010
About eight years ago I purchased my first snake. Like many first time snake buyers I picked up a corn snake. Nothing fancy, just a male amelanistic corn, or albino as some call it. I set him up in a 35 gallon long glass tank with a tight fitting screen lid I made myself. For substrate I had a layer of paper towel and about half an inch of aspen shavings ontop.
One day a friend was over and she asked to see the corn snake. So I opened up the cage and moved the hide and didn't see any snake. I didn't worry as I knew he could be under the aspen. After riffling through the aspen and peaking under the papertowel, I couldn't find him anywhere. My friend had to go and the search began in earnest.
