once every 2 weeks. You should feed them special frozen mice that are already dead to decrease harm of your snake. The older the snake gets, the bigger the mouse should be. Mice are the ideal food for corn snakes, nothing else. Rats are far too big at any stage of your snake's age or size.
Once a week is perfectly fine. It will give the snake's digestive system time to relax between feeds. When it's a year old - space the feeds out to 10-14 days, and increase the size of the food item.
It depends on the size of the snake. Youngsters (up to 18 months old) should be fed once every 7-10 days. Adults 10-14 days.
When it's hungry ! They're best fed mid-morning, which gives them time to warm up, mimicking their natural behaviour.
in the morning
yes you can but not all of the time
I recommend the Corn Snake. Corn Snakes are good for first time snake owners because they are relatively small and rarely bite. They don't even have teeth!
It is possible for one snake to continue swallowing - taking the other snake in with the mouse. The solution is to never feed two snakes in the same enclosure at the same time !
I think your friend is weird. Did she ask to feed the poor snake this food? Next time be more careful. Take the snake to the vet and get it checked out. Feed the snake insects next time. Oh, and friend- please be aware of what you feed little animals.
A long time.
I would say that buying a snake is the best first pet you can get! Corn snakes are the best though. They are low maintenance they only need to be feed a couple of times a week. they need cleaning out every 2 weeks. Plus they only need heat pad not actual lamps so you dont have to buy bulbs all the time. Their cheap too. they dont smell and their quiet.
i have a corn snake & i feed it every wensday but here is a tip for you take the snake out of the cage and put the snake in the box when you feed it and wait till its half way down the snake then put it back in the cage i do this because every time you take the snake out to play with it the snake will think its food time and might charge at you but please make sure the snakes food is half way down if not and you pick it up it will throw it back up and mess up the snakes food schedule . (:
Baby corn snakes (under a year old) should be fed once a week - on 1 or 2 mouse pinkies. Gradually increase the time interval and the size of the food over a period of twelve months. By the time the snake is two years old, it should be feeding on a medium-sized mouse - once every ten days.
my corn snake got out the first time and the cats found it in the kitchen the second time it got out we never found it I'm pretty sure mine ended up in the ventilation system and died there.
They don't carry their eggs, when it comes time they lay their eggs.
try four hours. that will give the snake some time to digest the food properly.
The best time to plant corn in southern californa is the sunny days of summer.
