Monica has been quite busy of late not really posting a lot of reviews or comments on the site. What has she been busy doing then? She’s been raising a new corn snake.
This is the first time Monica has raised a snake. When she was a child she kept a snake and took very good care of him until he died of natural causes. While her first snake was a king snake, her love for the reptiles continues on with her care for her corn snake.
Last year, while cleaning the house one morning, early in the a.m., we discovered a corn snake had snuck into her home. This was no normal corn snake though, as it is amelanistic. Amelanistic snakes mean that they lack melanin in their pigmentation. As a result this corn snake has a beautiful red and orange design that almost makes it look like a slice of pepperoni pizza.
Named Jörmungandr, or Jermo (Pronounced Guillermo) for short, Monica has been setting out to create some of the most interesting and unique habitats for this snake to enjoy.
For its first home she purchased a small tank and set up a terrarium with soil, sanitized sticks, bark, fake leaves, and a ceramic skull.

For its second home however she decided to go a bit larger and created a self-sustaining terrarium, or more accurately a vivarium. Monica combined the home with self cleaning bugs like springtails and isopods to work as clean-up crews to make her life a little easier, now it’s a bio-active vivarium.

Now Jermo is in his more recent home, and likely his for years to come. Since he will be in it for so much longer, Monica took all of the same traits and skills from the prior and moved them into a larger, and more stylized design, with hides and self misting plants.
