Hi, Iv recently aquired 2 corn snakes approx 6-7 months old. The larger of the two will strike at the frozen thawed food i provide but doesnt constrict before consuming and the other will only feed if in a confined space, while iv read this is quite common she does not constrict either and i was just wondering if this is the norm,

both responses to food are normal one of my yearlings that would always very gently take the mouse from the tongs has suddenly developed this strike and death-roll-constrict out of the blue, i wonder if she's been watching the adult corns??

Just a quick update
Both snakes feeding well now took them to be checked over and found the previous owner ( who i had gleaned most of my onformation on care) had been extremely poorly advised! the viv they were housed in was too small, the heating was way too low and they were being under fed! The breeder estimated there age at 3-4 months max they were actually closer to 8! so i had two really tired cold snakes on my hands!!!!!
The good news is they are both feeding fine(2 rat pups a week with fuzzys offered if they start begging between feeds to build up condition) they in a 4ft viv with heat mats and lights. Started them off in there pretty basic but hubbys on a pimp my viv kick so there gonna be living in corn snake version of the ritz lol |
