    Re: Overweight Corn Snake - rehab time

    So... what's the best way to rehab him?

    I know I've heard of people 'cooling' corn snakes... anyone have any advice on what may be best for him? I want to get him back into perfect condition again.

    I'll have more details once he's here but I want to figure out how to set him up first. (in case I need to do something out of the ordinary... our other corns are kept in a rack)
    Put him on the ISHY diet .If he is overweight then i would just cut back on the size of the prey and skip a week or two before feeding again until he gets better looking .
