Because I am a novice in eating corn, I just bought a corn snake, and I don't know its living habits. Moreover, the snake may not be able to adapt to the new environment, so it will have a rebellious mentality and refuse to eat. What, at this time, we don't need to worry too much, we have to let the corn snake adapt to the environment and feed it. What should we pay attention to when feeding, corn snakes are suitable for growing in that kind of environment!
Corn Snake Feeding Tips:
Family-raised corn snakes can be fed with small white mice, 7-10 days apart each time. Remember not to feed too large or too many food, because excessive or too large food will make them vomit, and do not disturb them for a period of time after eating, so as not to vomit, because corn snake larvae will vomit after eating. Vomiting is easily fatal.
The vast majority of corn snakes entering China are artificially bred, through selection of mutants. It should be fed under artificial conditions, and should not be fed fish, eggs, etc. The artificially raised corn is mainly eaten by small mammals, and mice are often used. It was fed to suckling mice when it was young, and it gradually increased. Once a week, preferably one at a time.
The living environment of corn snakes:
Most of the corn snakes raised by ordinary households are purchased. Before raising a corn snake, it must be arranged for them in advance Good breeding environment, don't wait until the snake is bought before considering these. For corn snakes, a new environment means everything is unfamiliar. At this time, the corn snake needs to be given time to adapt to the new environment.
To raise corn snakes, you need a box that is more than 1.5 times larger than the snake's coiled body size. It is recommended to use a fresh-keeping box with a lid, a shelter (optional), and a water basin pad (simple). You can buy aspen sawdust if you want to look good.) In winter, you need a 15W heating pad and a thermostat.
The corn snake is very sensitive to some conditions such as temperature, light, smell, vibration, etc. in the new environment, and will not quickly get used to the environment. Give it quiet surroundings, clean water, and a place to hide. The newly arrived baby snake must not play with it! Or rush to feed it. Let it sit quietly for at least three to five days, without looking around the terrarium. Give it time to adjust to the new environment. Wait until the adaptation period is over before feeding. You don't have to worry about it starving. The snake can go without food for a long time.
Snakes need abdominal temperature, so a heating pad is better than a light bulb. But be careful not to get too hot, it will burn. If your hands feel hot on it, it's too hot. It's best to put a tile on it.
