My gf just got her first snake, a miami phase corn. He was hatched on June 9 of last year. We just brought him home last thursday (the 8th) his feeding records from the breeder showed him eating one pinky a week skipping a meal occasionally (prey offered but not taken) he had been eating f/t pinkies. according to his records, he went up to two pinkies a week the last two weeks of december, then refused two pinkies the first week of january. we gave him a couple days to acclimate, like I said, brought him home thursday, offered him food on sunday, he dint' take it, left it in there overnight IN his hidebox, he didnt eat. He defecated yesterday, so I tried to feed him today and he showed no interest in it at all. I put him in a deli cup with the f/t pinky and he as yet has not eaten it. My gf is getting very worried and is starting to panic. What should I do?

baby corn not eating

they can go for awhile. Is it looking healthy? If so, then don't fret, it'll eat when it's hungry. Good luck.-Brett
I GUESS its looking healthy, its color is bright, its eyes are clear, its alert and active, just really skinny, but then again, I guess they all are at that age, hehe
If not how does it compare health wise to the ones I just posted above. If it looks similar to them, then it should be ok. Those are both about a foot or so long and are in excellent shape.-Brett
sorry for panicking, but the deli cup worked, Francis ate a pinky :]
