Disclaimer: I do not recommend feeding this large a prey item unless the animal is a figgin pig.......LOL.

Please do not take offense, but I would never recommend anyone to feed a rat pink to a baby corn. IMO, that is gambling on a regurge, thus the pic speaks for itself.

No offense taken.

This girl gets agressive when she is hungry and has been taking multiple mouse pinks at a feeding so I figured I'd try the rat pink which was about the same length as the 3 pinks just thicker.

She didn't regurge but it's taking a bit longer to digest this time. Usually within 3 days she's out looking for food again.

You got lucky this time.. But, in the future maybe go with smaller hopper mice instead of rat pinks of that size.

i agree with "DISCERN"!!! you are just asking that little corn to regurgitate a meal that big!, in fact, I would be surprised if it didn't in 2-3 days, that's just the right time it would putrify.
Feeding extreme sized meals can cause very serious health issues especially being that small, there's just no need to offer prey that huge.

Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open mouth and remove any doubt!

be careful, I lost one about this size because we decided we'd try rat pinks that were only a day old. The others were just a bit larger, this particular one was about that size and she got it down fine, but when she went to regurge it didn't make it back out and it rotted in her tummy. Killed a really pretty snake.

This was just a one time thing. I ran out of mouse pinks (because she is a pig and eat several at a time) so I thawed the smallest rat pink I had and tried that.

She took it down without a problem. Pretty fast too. She got it down a lot faster than I thought she would.

and you are ever in this predicament again, take the frozen rat pink and slice it in half lengthwise. Then feed only one half of it (after thawing it, of course).

Nice looking snake. Mine looked him like that when I first got her (color wise). But yeah, the rat pink seems to be a bit large. I'd say moving up to fuzzies and crawlers then to hoppers and small adult
here's a before and after pic of my snake she's an okeetee corn(at least, that's what th guy told me when I got her
