I fed Matilda tonight and it was a bleeder! She took him bum first! which meant as she was taking it it bled more n more from its nose. I noticed as she was feeding she got quite a few droplets of blood all over the kitchen roll but also noticed a couple of drops go onto her directly.
Now from experience My other snake Charlie will come back and smell where his pinkie has been but blood has touched her own skin she wont try to eat herself will she? Was a larger than normal pinkie and she has gone straight into her hide but before I leave her totally alone thought I would check>? Dont want to wake up to a snake that has attempted to eat itself! |

Owwww i see. the snake bit the other snake. I thought you meant itself.
There is alot of debate about keeping corn snakes together - and that is a good reason not to.
But im sure Matilda will be fine.
Was she okay this morning?

I used to Feed them in there till Charlie tried to eat the leaf (its a big cactus false one he likes to wrap himself round I used to also put his pinkies on but from there I now take them both out and feed them in a rub.
i deffo saw the video had lots comments on was about snakes cohabiting, one snake had just eaten and this other snake opened wide and locked onto its body where the lump was!
I spend hours looking over cornsnake vids on youtube find some fascinating... maybe take them a bit too literal sometimes though lol. I will check on her in the morning :). It was a large pinkie/fuzzy for her they inbeteen being both though so hopefully she wouldnt even think about it even if it were possible lol... she should be full! |

Maybe you dreamt it. :L
Just don't worry about it. Leave it for 12 hours and have a quick peep for self assurance.
Then handle him 36 hours after that. Should be all fine.
The snake would know what not to eat. as for the leaf, maybe he was just curious :)
Yeah, have never fed mine in the viv, otherwise I worry that he wont know the difference between me and the feed - especially when he older.

I hope not she doesn't try and eat herself.
You got me all worried now as Noodle was fed Monday night and he got a substitutional amount of blood on him.
Surly she will know that she is eating herself, Iv'e never heard of any animal do it. :S
