Lol, there seem to be a lot of questions about this.
So, I got my corn a couple weeks ago. I've fed him twice since - I'm sticking to one pinkie a week, at the moment - and he seems to be doing fine.
I am rather concerned, though - where the heck is he pooping?
I've checked all over the viv, and I just can't find any poop. He's a snow corn, so when I hold him up to the light I can pretty much see all his insides; yesterday there was poop, today no poop. But there's no poop in the viv, either.
Where the heck is it going? I know you're supposed to clean it out of the viv as soon as you find it. But I can't find it! |

I've not long had my George either, and I was concerned that he hadn't pooped after he'd had his pinkie, so I spoke to my specialist supplier and he said that it depends how hungry the snake is, as sometimes they will absorb the lot and not need to go for a plop. don't forget there's no roughage in a pinkie, so don't worry about it. also if the snake hasn't eaten for a while due to a shed that will mean it will probably be more hungry and absorb the lot.
hope that helps???

What type of substate are you using? Its hard to see on orchid bark sometimes due to its dark colour...Our local rep shop has just got loads of 'desert snow' in which clumps together on contact with turd and is realy easy to see. It looks cool to and the corns love it 
edit; someone has allready posted the question lol My bad  |

Oh, okay, guys. xDD Thanks for all the help - i found the poop anyway :3 It all sort of soaked into some of the aspen chippings.
Also, though, I've heard stuff like feeding a corn on one pinkie a week, then switching to two a week. My corn's just shed, and I think he looked a little hungry still, after his last pinky. If I was going to switch to two, would I feed them both in the same sitting? |

| Yes, after he's eaten the first one, offer him another if you think he's ready for it. |

| It's not really their natural habitats substrate. I think people buy it like the coloured gravel for fish. |
