I purchased my first cornsnake Saturday at a reptile show. I'm a gecko person, but recently my fiancee and I decided we wanted to purchase a single pet snake, so we chose a corn. He's a gorgeous male Blizzard, about 3 feet long (rough estimate - haven't measured length) and 242 grams. The person I purchased him from told me he was an exceptionally clean blizzard, and from what I can tell (don't know a thing about morphs), he is. Anyway, I fed him for the first time today (took him out of his cage to do so), and he ate great. So here's my questions for now, I'm sure I'll think of more later. 1.) am I supposed to calcium powder/supplement his mice? I feed them regular mouse food. The man told me to feed very small mice, but I started off with a fuzzy. 2.) To those of you who fresh kill mice - how do you do it? the man told me to take one and "stun" it by knocking it's head against something, but I can't quite bring myself to do that. Is there an easier way, or do I need to switch him to F/T? 3.) If I ever wanted to breed, what morph would cross well with Blizzard? I was thinking a Candy Cane or a Butter, but I have no clue what I'd get. I'd like to get a female tjhat would throw various morphs with him. I'm not looking to breed any time soon, but I'd like to get a female as a baby and raise her. I love the bloodreds, but would I get all normal hets if bred to a blizzard? Sorry for the length of this. I appreciate any help/advice/informative website, etc. I'll post pics later - don't want to handle yet after feeding. Thanks!!!
