Feeding Problems with baby corn.

tegu2002 Jun 28, 2004 07:53 AM

Hi I recentely bought a new corn and I tried to feed him and he wouldn't eat. I tried a pinky cut in half because he is soooo small but he still wouldn't eat. I fed him in his enclosure because that is how I feed all my snakes. Can anyone give meany advise on how to get him to eat??

Also how do I tell the sex, do I have to wait until he is older??? I also wanted to ask what you think I should call him, preferablky something that a male and a female can be called??

Starting out I would wait a few days then offer him a tiny whole pinkie with them both shut in a deli cup or similar (with air holes) for a few hours. Second try, if he doesn't take that is a beheaded live pinkie in a deli cup for several hours. Don't offer food every day or you will just stress him totally. Wait a few days between.
