    Do male corns get more active this time of year ?
    My corn has been out ALOT,,searching around.Normaly,he will eat and go hide for 5 days or so,then peek his head out.
    All week he has been out and about,climbing branches,,staying up in the branches.
    He(it) is about 36" long, with good girth.By eye balling his tail, he looks like a male to me,but thats not fail proof.
    I am going to get him probed soon,,along with a Cali.king I have.
    What do you guys think ?

    Well useally if a snake is active there are four things that should be looked at.
    1 is it hungry? If is hunting than feed it.
    2, enviromental problems, check the humidity, temperatures on the warm side, the cool side, and the basking spot.
    3. parasites, check the tank over and make sure there are no mites, when if poops make sure the poop looks normal and not greenish.
    4. mating season. size matters not. 36 inches means nothing HOW OLD IS IT? when male get to 1.5-3 years old it could be that its looking for a mate.
