Just wanting to know if anyone uses a Exo Terra Snake Cave Reptile Snake Hide - Large for they're adult corn- or anyone's opinions of it?
Question 2- When i bought Slash i was told to carry on feeding him one fuzzy every 7 days for the next three weeks then after that feed him two fuzzies once a week. Whats your thoughts?
FYI- Slash is roughly 3 years old and is about 4/5 ft long |

Hi my snake sasha has one of those exo hide and she loves her spends most of her time in it although she does use a box hide to . do you have more than one hide one in hot and one in cool ends of viv.My sasha is three feet and has plenty of room . If you snake can get in and out of it with out struggling and part ie tail head sticking out of it then it's fine . |

a friend of mine has a male which sounds to be about the same size he has a jumbo mouse (above, 26g) every 7 days and that looks to small for him. He is about 4 1/2 feet long. Mo has a large fluff every 5-7 days. and Tab has 2 pinks every 5-7 days, just while i use up whats left then she id moving on to fluffs to. Both are 2010 hatch |

At that age and size it should be able to eat prey much larger than a fuzzy, also larger prey has been alive and eating longer so it has more nutritional value too. My corn is no thicker than my middle finger and not a lot over 2 feet and is eating medium mice without any effort at all. |

Well im no expert on this matter by far but all i know is both my snakes are on large mice, chilli is over 3 years and just under 4ft and charlie is 2 years and just under 3ft. As a rule food item should be no bigger than 1.5 times the width of snake at widest part but im pretty sure at that size he could more than likey manage at least a medium mouse but have to build upto it slowly so as not to cause problems. |
