Hi guys,
I brought home my baby corn yesterday and it's still in the RUB. I was checking the aspen was clean and uncovered a dried, shrivvelled pinky. Now I was told at the shop that they fed the corns every seven days and the last feed was on Monday-4 days ago.i'm concerned that either my corn has re gurgitated it's last meal or not even attempted it, what should I do? Feed now or wait the 7 days from last Monday?
Cheers, matt |

Heya and congrats!
I would say try and leave the wee one to settle in just for a while. These new smells and surroundings can be scary. Maybe try and not handle for the next 5-6 days. Just to settle down into the new enviroment.
And as garrie said, he isnt going to starve if you dont feed right away aswell :o)
Congrats again! x |

Thanks for the speedy replies,this forum is great,just suppose i'm being paranoid it being my first snake. I've got sooo many questions,but don't wanna annoy you lovely people here! I must be honest, I've handled him/ her a couple of times,it's very confident and inquisitive! Have I done the wrong thing handling so soon? I just couldn't resist it's cheeky charm. |

I would say give ya little'n the "settling in" week, and then have a little handle of him and try feeding him at that stage - he isn't going to starve, that you can be sure of  congrats on the new snake |

are you sure its a pinky? a regurge or an uneaten pinky will stink like nothing else especially after four days |

No I haven't fed it yet, only had it 24hrs. When should I try next feed? |

So you havent fed the corn yet? If its a dry shrivelled pinkie its likely that it just didnt take the feed. If it was a regurge you would be able to smell it. |
