Hey guys,

so we have bred a few corn's. we got 7 babies out of 10 eggs and two are great feeders. one of them has eaten about 5-6 now

the other 5 are proving problematic to say the least.

so far we have tried:

Braining the pinkines
water warming them
slow defrost
hairdrier warming them
no human touch whatsoever
dark rooming the baby with a pinky
leaving pinky on card in viv
waving pinky about the place


all of them have had their first shed and are about 3-4 weeks old.


they are just not interested yet. Any other ideas/advice to get baby corn's to eat?

have you checked the temp humidity ?

when you brained the pinkies did you put the brains near the snake?

the temp is pretty stable at 23-25c

so far what i do is stab the tweezers into the skull and get some brain over the head and face of the pink.

I have just popped on inside one of the huts with a babyu so we shall see.

at least the good feeders are hoovering up all the ones not eaten. lol

As I mentioned in the other thread where this came up, try halving the pinkies so they seem a easier size for them/waft a bit more smell out. If not try aggravate them with the food until they strike. Sounds a bit dickish but it works trying to get fussy nocturnal boas to eat during the day

Did you see my suggestions on the other thread?

have you tried feeding them corn?

Bit of Barry white always gets the mood going. Pop it on and let the vibratings moove them.

Trying to get baby corn snakes to eat.

Ah, the English language.
I read the title and wondered why anyone would want to eat corn snakes.

chopped up some pinkies and stuffed the bits down the little fuckers throats.

all 5 now have food inside them.

thanks for the first few replies they were useful. the least said about tramroad onward the better.

only trying to help james
