Corn not eating...

a2004naja Aug 27, 2008 07:05 PM

Ok I got a pair of Creamsicle Corns from Daytona, they are both hatchlings from this year and have been eating, but one of them wont even look at the pinky...what do you all suggest?

Didn't Daytona just happen a few days ago? Give the snake time to settle in and be comfortable in its new home. Best to not handle them either, at least not much. Could be ready to shed, too.

I wait 4-5 days before even trying to feed with new cornsnakes, as they are more easily stressed by travel and change. Kingsnakes on the other hand will eat on the way home.

"Have been eating" based on what the seller told you, or have been eating for you personally? If the seller told you it was feeding, then you need to offer what the seller was offering. I have a baby cal king I bought about a month ago at a local show that was sold to me as feeding on live pinks for the seller. Wont touch frozen thawed for me. Also, may be going into shed, or stressed about the travel.
