I only know when two of mine are born though and I've just randomly assigned dates to the other two XD
Maybe with the candles, it will heat it up a bit more and waff the smell out a bit. I wonder of snakey would blow candles out before eating :o |

Maybe only for Christmas dinner's then as a treat :p |

My Dinger ate a gerbil once 
see? lol
i'm think i've read that they can eat anoles and other small lizards too
i'm pretty sure they'd eat whatever they can fit in their mouths that smells good!  |

multimammates are a popular choice for getting non feeders eating again, they must smell tasty! :) |

Snakes can be fed solely on rats you just have to keep an eye on weight and if they start to put on weight then start feeding a little less often as with mice. :)

Sorry, but I disagree, my adult corn can barely manage a jumbo mouse, those bigger rodents, would be impossible for it to eat.
Mice are the best to feed him, rats occasionally, to offer some variation, but not as a 100% staple, as theyr'e addictive and supposedly fatty.
I disagree to your disagree :p I know that one of mine could handle a day old of a rabbit. The size of them on average is a tiny bit bigger than a Jumbo mouse although baby rabbit sizes can vary a lot.
Rats are great for making adults put on weight fast if they need the weight. Otherwise you a a muffin top snake.
I am actually interested about feeding hamster and gerbil though as a treat to see how they, or if they would react differently but I can't find anything and no-one seems to know how much goodness they have. |

I think rats and mice are the main things to feed simply because they are the most readily available, but other things are suitable. But you must remember corn snakes fed on mice the mice that fed on corn originally so they are better for obvious reason.

Yeah I've read that they can have fertilized quail eggs, never seen them anywhere though! |

chicks and rats, chicks are addictive and have hardly any nutrients and rats are quite fatty, its down to personal choice tho.
Im pretty sure they can have quail eggs to, dont hold me to that tho, im sure someone mentioned it tho. |
