My corn is not eating. I have had it 4 about 3 weeks. the pet store gave us a live pinkie and it did not eat it. it will not eat dead frozen ones that I have defrosted either. we are gonna try crickets,but i want to know what else we should try too. it has a ten gallon tank and it is 2 1/2 months old. It has fresh water all the time and 2 sides of the tank are covered with that aquarium decorative paper. it also has a heat pad. what else do you suggest and should I try crickets on it?
dont try the crickets - they have no nutritional value for snakes so nothing really will be gained.. have you tried chopping the pinkie up? braining it? scenting it with chick or tuna brine? what are the temps like in the viv and are there plenty of hides?
you could get some reptiboost - its got the nutrients in its missing out on by not feeding so will act as a temporary pick me up..
was he feeding regularly before you got him? and last question..where in your house is his home?
sorry for all the q's

How are you measuring the temps and what are they for each side of the viv? As it is on the floor could it be in a draught? What info did you get about your snakes feeding before you got it?
It doesnt say on your profile where you are from and I am assuming it is not in the UK as I very much doubt they would feed live pinkies.
