A week or so ago we sold a 2011 female normal corn snake to a local lady. Great eater, never missed a meal since two days after its first shed. She has been on f/t since day one. We kept her in small 2.2qt tubs with a toilet paper roll cut in half for a hide, a nice thick layer of aspen to burrow in and kept a temperature controlled rack. Pretty standard procedure, right?

Well we get a call from the lady a few minutes ago at around 10:30pm (who calls that late besides family?). She hasn't been able to get her to eat for her. So I proceeded to ask her your normal questions. So here goes. Her set up? A 35 gallon tank, no hide, cedar bedding and a heat bulb. She has no idea what temps are. Its kept in their living room and gets "lots of attention".

So... I'm stumped. Why won't it eat for the lady? (Sarcasm intended)



So after a 20 minute crash course in basic corn snake husbandry I told her to call us in a week and let us know if it eats for her...

Gnah!
