just new here and getting my first corn snake soon

how often do they shed?
do they need to hibernate?

they shed when they grow so the more they grow the more they shed. They don't need to hibernate but i think some people turn the temp down in winter but only if they're breeding them... not 100%sure on that but my royal's temp is constant all the time.

Shed approx every 4-6 weeks in the first year, then this slows down as size increases.

They don't need to 'hibernate', it's actually brumate with snakes, although some advise on it if wanting to breed, but best not to in the first year anyway.

In all honesty, but Kathy Love's corn snake book, it will give you all the information you need.

thank for all the help ppl

The more Snakes grow the more they shed, they shed more often as babies because they are growing quicker.

As for hibernating, they do not... although when they get mature enough they may go off their food because they want a Female if you catch my drift...

My corn has only just started eating after 4 months of waiting for a little girl!

This is an excellent book, and comes highly recommended by me too.

Don't worry about brumating (a bit like hibernating, but not as deep a sleep) for at least 3 years
