Calling on JoePythons!!!

OK after numerous requests for my knowledge on getting corn snake babies to eat i will post it for all lol.What i do is get the smallest pinky(mouse) for the babies first meal.I place them(snake &pinky) in a small container of course with holes for air lol.I place the container in a place where it will not be disturbed and check back in on it after 30 minutes.If the snake has not eaten leave for another 30 minutes.If snake still has not eaten place the pinky in a freezer bag and try it as a frozen thawed in about 3 days.I have had some babies that are scared of the live but will eat frozen thawed as there first meal.

Kilo, just pmd me and mentioned that the breeder never got this corn to eat before he gave it to the pet store:O .I have another way to get corn babies to eat.I place a frozen thawed pinkys head(whole pinky) inside the corns mouth and sometimes it gives them the kick they need,of course you have to be very gentle as you can hurt the snake. Kilo i wish you would have asked for some input on this snake before you bought it:( .I am not trying to be your Dad or boss but if the breeder never got it to eat it may never eat.Of course the breeder is very low for passing this snake on and so is the pet store:mad: .I will do my very best to help you get this corn to eat and thats a promise;) .

I'm not sure at all wether he has eaten or not. I was just wondering how long it would take a hatchling corn that has never eaten to pass on. I did ask the store if the breeder got him to eat.. they couldn't anwser me. The employee himself (the reptile man of the place) said he himself could not get him to eat! Pics coming soon... of the black spot and what not. Maybe he has poop in him!!!

How long was the pinkie in there? What time did you feed it? No need to worrie, youve only had him a few days!! Give him plenty of rest. and offer the food every 4 days! :D

I did not attempt anthing last night Joe... I was also waiting for you but did not see you on! I need to wait for you due to the fact I have no clue how to properly thaw and heat a frozen pinkie. Also didn't know how you wanted me to attemp to feed. As in just dropping it in his cage or using a small container like last time! We can team up tonight and give it another attempt? I'm in florida so I'm on eastern time. I will be arriving home at about 5pm. Will you be available?

EDIT: You also have an unanwsered PM from me :D .

Kilo,about a hour before you want to feed him take the pinky out and set it somewhere on a paper towel to thaw.Do not heat it up as it will blow and you WILL have a mess and then some:puke2: .Start out with just the snake and the pinky in that container.Leave them alone for a hour,NO PEEKING before this hour is up lol.I will try my best to be here:).O i did respond to your message three times :neener: lol
