Hi Darren,

Are the Kingsnake and the Cornsnake together in the wooden vivarium. As the Picture clearly shows the corn is in there, and the last picture shows the Kingsnake is in there too. If they are, I would remove the corn right away, Kingsnakes do and will feast on the cornsnake. Also, I hope the heatmat is connected to a thermostat, especially as it is visible with no substrate over it. The mesh front also is asking for trouble, problems with nose rubbing can result in infections, abceses etc. I reccomend a flat-pack 3ft Vivarium for each snake.

Kind Regards,
Scott

They are in different viv I know the king would eat the corn.
The corn in a old rabbit hatch I had and made into a viv by putting glass on the front had to find something fast as you see what she came in the glass was all break. The king I had for over a year now the shelf in both viv I put in to feed & the king know the food there and I find I can put my hand in the viv without her trying to bite me she feed only on the shelf so trying the same with the corn to try to get her use to me being there to hopefully I can pick her up as I do the king

That's a nice corn - she has the same colourings and markings as Trilby (who's my monster corn/rat snake cross).

Good idea with the shelf. I've trained most of mine to only eat in cat litter trays which also works well.

Yeah, that is a really good idea.
I tend to put mine into an old faun for feeding.
