    Feeding Corns after egg laying

    Hi

    My Snow Corn layed 20 eggs 4 days ago, but since laying she will only eat Fluffs, she won't eat adult mice.

    Is this normal with Corn Snakes, its my first time breeding.

    Any advice will be kindly welcomed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Umm whats a fluffs? I am going to guess you mean hoppers maybe .When my females dropped the eggs i cleaned them up(wash whole snake) and the enclosure they are in.Then after say 5 days i attempt to see if they are hungry(i see its 4 days for you) sometimes they eat sometimes not.I then wait until they shed and then offer them food.What are the parents just for wondering purposes.

    Hi Mate

    A fluff is a smal mouse, bigger than a hopper, the Female is Snow Corn and the Male is Normal phase.

    OK Iam guessing your in Australia am i correct? So when the babies come out they will all be het for snow unless one of them has hidden genetics(say male is het snow).

    Ok cool England .If your male does not have any hidden genes and the female does not either then the babies will be normals all het for snow.Now if you bought them from the same breeder and he crossed parents of these two then you could end up with other babies .Either way once the come out of the eggs you will be happy i am sure of that .One word of advice have escape proof containers or what ever you will place the babies in once they hatchout.They WILL find any gaps and they WILL escape .
