I've posted a few times about a baby corn not eating. Still no luck. I've switched to trying cup feeding overnight, and only using the head or a similar sized piece of a pinky. Also no handling of the snake at all since I've been trying to get it to eat. I've given it about 5 days in between attempts. I've owned the snake about 3 1/2 weeks. The breeder says that it did eat for him. How long can this little guy go with out eating? Does anyone have any other suggestions. I'm very capable of tube feeding if needed but certainly don't want to jump the gun if I don't have to. Another question. Do problem feeding snakes tend to remain so or once you get them going, do they continue to eat well? Thanks for any help you can give.
