Corn eating it's shed skin...

I called my herp vet and he called me back saying if she passes her poo's and urates fine then she should be in the clear. So I'm keeping an eye on her. I couldn't possibility do the f/t thing since she is only about 10 inches long and thick as a #2 pencil.

*facepalms* I should hope the snake was alright. Pretty little aby high white like my own Voods... but it is one of those things that begs the phrase "That boy ain't right..."

I've seen pictures of a greyband who did this, too. :rolleyes:

Phew! I'm glad that beauty is OK!

The only thing my snakes ever did weird was to POOP in their shed.

I have heard of this before In corns. It should pass just fine. Nothing to worrie about. Corns also eat themselves LOL..

AWW!!! I wonder what happened after this was taken? It probably let go eventually when it realized its body wasn't food. But reptiles have thick skin and I doubt he felt anything from his own teeth.

Awesome pic though! :rofl:

I've seen at least one photo where a corn snake tried to eat itself - exactly like the little high-white Cali king above.

It died.

With the amount of snake that Cali's got down his throat, I'm surprised it survived - and I wonder if there was any obvious damage to his tail/lower body?

i had read about a corn eating itself on kathy loves website.. heres the link
