Dinnertime!

[Lolo76]

Being in full opaque stage (is that what you call it for corns too?) didn't hurt little Scout's appetite, as you can see below. And having only owned BPs thus far, I'm still amazed at his eating response... he's so calm yet consistent, unlike my BPs who are aggressive and/or super picky feeders. Anyway, here's Scout enjoying a f/t pinkie earlier tonight:











I almost thought this mouse was too big, but he managed...


Nice lump!

When i had corn snakes i swore they would eat frozen rodents(not thawed lol) if i had tried it .They have such great feeding responses .Nice looking corn

Thanks! And yes, Scout would probably eat a FROZEN pinkie if I offered... heck, he'd eat a frozen dog if his mouth stretched far enough.

Btw, I think he finished shedding, since he looks a little brighter now. But I can't find any old skin in his tub, so is it possible he's not done? How long does the process usually take with baby corns? Here are 2 pictures from the other night:

It still looks like his eyes are still a little cloudy in this pic.Once his eyes go totaly clear then about 3 days later he will shed

He is such a cutie. Like Scout, all of my Corns eat with gusto and a little thing like shedding doesn't bother them one bit. lol. My big guy, Apophis, WOULD eat the cat if I put it in with him. Good luck with the whole shedding bit. It has been my experience (with my two hatchling Corns) that their first few sheds can be troublesome. Nothing a little warm water soak and a damp towel/washcloth can't handle, though.

You were right, he wasn't done shedding! I found his shed earlier tonight, all in one perfectly adorable piece - eyecaps and all. He then enjoyed another pinkie mouse, swiftly as usual...





Looking handsome in his new skin!
