What does a baby corn snake eat?

Answer 1

Corn snakes eat generally mice, or possibly rats if they are large enough.

I suggest the frozen variety. My reasons being, feeding live can increase the aggressiveness in the snake, it can also be potentially harmful to the snake if the mouse decides to fight back.

Frozen mice are also a lot easier to store, and to feed.

Make sure you are feeding outside of the actual cage, because feeding inside can also increase aggressiveness. Also if you feed frozen, make sure the mouse is completely defrosted, and warm (not hot) to the touch.

Answer 2

Corn and Rat snakes have numerous predators, they're non-venomous and unlike King Snakes and Milksnakes they do not display similar colors to venomous snakes nor are they immune to the venom of other snakes. They're real only defense is to flee or hide. They are slender and rarely exceed 5 feet making them quite quick, however King Snakes and Milksnakes have the same slender build and will chase. Aside from King's and Milk's, Bull Snakes another non-venomous snake grows significantly larger (Up to 8ft.) and can easily consume a corn. Old World Corn and Rat Snakes fall prey to even King Cobra's, where as an Indonesian King would be unphased by Cobra venom, the Rat Snake will die in minutes and because Cobra's again are considerably larger and have much tougher scales a cornered Corn Snake is an easy meal. Birds of Prey, particularly Hawks and some Eagles will hunt for snakes, small mammals like Foxes, Coyotes, or Lynxs will eat Corn Snakes. Lemurs and Mongoose are adept snake hunters whether Venomous or not. Even Tarantulas will by means of ambush kill Corn Snakes, Rattlesnakes, and Coral Snakes. In the right locations, Various monkeys may consume arboreal Corn's. Oppurtunistic predators may include Otters, Badgers, Caimen, Monitors, and even House Cats. Hatchlings may fall prey to seagulls, Falcons or other small birds, and larger lizards. Rodents particularly rats or gerbils can kill and will eat Corns, Rat and Snakes in general will not kill in defense, only to eat. Rarely in the wild does this happen, but more commonly in captivity an unattended rodent may prove dangerous to a Corn. Whether in thre enclosure or a separate feeding tank a snake cannot flee. A hungry rodent will attack a snake and even constantly chase it around nipping and biting, leading to injury or death. I'm not an expert and this is only a handful of information, but it is some of the more consistent and interesting information I found whether on the internet or in books and magazines. Hope this helped
