| have a look on here http://www.iansvivarium.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cornmorphs.html they can change quite a bit from hatchlings to adults, if you click on the main photo of each morph it shows what they look like as hatchlings and as adults, along with any genetic striping or motley. |

In general-a baby will eat a pinkie every 5 days, a hatchling will eat a small mouse every 7 days and an adult will eat a large mouse or medium rat every 10- 14 days.
But really it's down to the individual corn, some will eat more often than this and some will eat less. It's the size of the food item that is important. It must be about the same size as it's head plus another half.
Hope that made sense?

If it is definitely a stripe then £50 is reasonable, but you need to know before you buy it really.
Could you get us a picture? |
