Just thinking about random things today and was wondering just how strong can an adult corn be? What would be the biggest animal a corn could kill, but not necessarily eat? Just curious as to whether anyone can answer this for me

I think if they want to be they can be very strong, I have a corn about 7 months old, he feeds like a king snake, but is pure corn, i put an adult mouse infront of him, he constricted that so hard he collapsed its rib cage and forced brain matter through the nose. I think if they really had the aggression inside them then then they could kill something quite big as with any snake they are mostly muscle, i believe it is more their personality.


Thanks for not postin pics lol

They're not too strong, certainly not to the point where if it wants to do something you can't really stop it, like some adult pythons and such. An adult gripping tightly onto your arm (trying to hold on for example) does have a slight blood pressure armband effect, but it's not too bad, I had Holly gripping on whilst I was outside with him the other day, and it was slightly uncomfortable, but not painful!
I could imagine that an adult could possibly strangle a small cat, given that the cat didn't fight back, but they'd never be able to eat that, so no chance of that happening really!

But thats just me speculating on the cat thing really, and strength is going on ym adult corn Holly, could vary from snake to snake :)
