I am just having a heck of a bad time with some hatchling corns, and they are from different sources. Not only a lack of desire to feed, but just a lack of desire seemingly to live. Like depression in a snake.

The creamsicle and Okeetee thrive. A hypo thrives. The neatest looking amels, butters and I have no idea what morph but hypo-ish grayish lavenderish corns are not doing well at all.

Just so you know, every king and milk hatchling I have, even a few non-feeders, are healthy and vigorous. The aforementioned Okeetee, hypo and creme are healthy and vigorous. So husbandry is not the prime cause I would guess.

So my biting question is, are you cornsnake breeders experiencing such things with the many offspring you produce?

I had an RO that just wasn't doing well. When I finally figured it out - it's tub in the rack was right next to a king. Other corns didn't care if they were next to a king, but that one did. Moved it - and next thing I knew, it was eating everything in sight.

I know I'm tired of them........
yes corns can be just too inbred or whatever......some just don't do well......some colors are worse, size of eggs and age of females adds to the troubles......cage size too......I just have cages that are just too small for the adults......it all adds up........yes I lose corn babies every year and I don't mess with lizard scent etc , anymore.....
