Hello, So I just bought a corn snake a couple days ago at my local pet store and they said that in all the 15 years that they have been selling snakes this is the first time that they have had this certain color in. And I was wandering if anyone new the morph that I have. I know that sometimes different morphs have a little bit different needs and I want to make sure that I meet all the needs that my new snake requires. I've been reading a book called Corn Snakes The Comprehensive Owner's Guide by Kathy and Bill Love also I have been reading another book called Corn & Rat Snakes by Philip Purser. Ever since I started to think about purchasing a snake I have been reading and asking advise and learning everything I could. In the Kathy and Bill Love book it says some morphs grow bigger and some needs a little more humidity then others and so on. Also, I read that babies can eat every 3-6 days. My snake is about 16 inches give or take a inch or two and is it still considered a baby? How often should this length be fed? I dont want to underfed or overfed it and the petstore said that it ate a small furry 3 days ago on the day I purchased and so now we are on the 5th day and I will be feeding it in two days for sure but again I dont want it to be underfed if it should be eating more often.
