Will this fit?

I've had this little fella for a few days and decided to see if it would eat. Now interest at this point. I'll try again in a few days. Does it look like he/she can handle this size pinky??
It's the only size I have at my disposal. If not, do I feed it in pieces? Also is this what you'd call a normal type corn snake? Has anyone ever tried feeding earth worms to these little ones? Thanks for your help.

that snake will eat that no problem. i might be handling him too soon cause u've only had him for 2 days but it depends on the snake both of mine didn't care and ate no prob. thats not always the case though so if he won't eat then just leave em for a week and try again

It might be too big. If that corn is used to smaller size pinkies, a larger one could intimidate it. You could always just try feeding it the head only of the pinkie. I am not sure about earthworms but it wouldn't surprise me since I have seen others on this forum successful with feeding crickets to super small corns (although I would highly advise against it). Baby snakes (corns included) probably eat all sorts of crawling things in the wild.

after just replying about homers striped normal snake it was funny to find this one

I waited three days to do anything with my new ones, and they seem to take it then with no problem I think that would be considered a normal cornsnake as far as color/pattern. very pretty
