Corn snake help?

[Karen]

I do not have a snake right now, but know a lot of snake owners, and think they are really interesting pets, and always have been interested in them.

The main thing I'd find out is what she eats and how often. My guess/hope is pre-killed (frozen/thawed?) pinky or possibly fuzzy mice, weekly. Corn snakes are usually pretty good eaters, so hopefully you won't have any trouble.


You'll likely be able to tell when she's about to shed (though some color morphs are easier to tell with than others), her colors will looks dull and her eyes will look cloudy. Then right before she sheds her eyes should clear up. This is a time you should just leave your snake alone. There is a good chance she won't eat during this time too, that's ok.

Of corse it varies from one snake to another, but in general corn snakes are very easy going and they're usually great starter snakes.
