Default Bull Snake

Does anyone have any experience keeping Bull Snakes? Im getting one with in the week... im assuming its pretty much like keeping a corn snake due to the fact that theyre the same family and come form the same general area... just wondering...

Same family, but different genera & IMHO, different personalities. Bulls are often---not always, but sometimes--more aggressive. They like to burrow, so have a substrate it can burrow into.

Have fun!

In my experience humidity is not as big a deal...as in I have never used a shedding box and have never had a problem.

Less arboreal than corns and they get bigger. I hope you get a young one because they have big personalities. They are generally no more aggressive than corns but they pull out all the stops trying to make you think otherwise. It is a lot easier to call a sixteen inch snake on a bluff...and by the time it is a big boy you will know the snake is bluffing.

They will use many hides but often they will wedge themselves between rocks or between the rock and the glass so you might want to offer opportunity
