The guide to owning a corn snake by Jerry G Walls? I got the book as I like to read up on whatever animal I buy/own as I like to know about them in the wild ect.
Well this made me laugh a bit, It says you should feed a hatchling a pinky every 2 days and if it remains hungry feed it 2 every 2 days!!! It also says that you can seldom over feed a corn snake unless you litraly stuff it? Well sorry but pinkys every 2 days to me is stuffing it! Correct me if im wrong here! |

| Even If I had never owned a snake, Even I would have thought it was to much! The rest of the book is ok it was just the feeding bit. I cank believe they are allowed to publish it! |

A lot of these books are written by Americans where it seems to be a race to get them up to breeding weight asap!
Rather than what's best for the animal. |
