Yes, although there have been a few feeding issues associated with a couple morphs in the past(blood-red, Miami, etc..) It really boils down to the individual snake.

And also like you stated, some will "scarf down" a rodent from your hand while in full "shed-mode" with their eyes completely

white, while others won't even LOOK at a meal while in "blue"!



At a good sized show, there will be tons of different types of corn!, so look for one that has some size and girth to it, and a fresh lump from a recent meal is a great indicator of a hatchling

that has a good established feeding response!



Also, you might want to get an established yearling that isn't quite so "fragile" and would be a little more "handleable" and resilient, since it will be handled by a child most of the time.



try to avoid the "runts" that are very thin, and have extremely skinny necks........and are noticeably smaller than the other siblings. Just use some basic common sense strategy, and you should come out of there with a nice, healthy snake.





best regards, ~Doug
