:( :( :( :( :( I bought an albino two weeks ago and she wouldn't eat the first or second week. This is my only corn that won't eat. PLZ HELP!

Don't worry too much yet.
2 weeks isn't too much.....I have had a corn snake that wouldn't eat for 5 months...and it's still super healthy...so won't worry about it...

there are serveral reasons why it might not eat.
1) too much stress
2) around shedding time
3) hasn't adopted to the new environment yet..
4) just doesn't want to eat...

As long as your corn snake is active (at night) and has access to fresh water and it's skin doesn't look wrinkley..then it's alright.

also
do you know what it was eating before?
When was it's last feeding date?

you can try a lot of other things to help stimulate it to eat
have you tried them yet? Ie....brained pinky, f/t pinky, live pinky, warm f/t pinky...etc...

if you need more help just either email me or leave me another message on this forum and I'll get back to you as soon as possible...

Ok, thanks for your help.

Another thing,
I just fed my new snow corn last night. And I found a pinkie in the waterbowl. Why did she regurgitate? When do I feed her again?

[srw3897]

I left her overnight with the pinkie and she(the one in the first post)bit the pinkie(thats all she did).

Okay about the snow corn....if you have found the pinky in its water bowl, then it should have regurgitated.
Leave her alone for at least 7-10 days before you handle or feed it again. The reason behind this is to let the corn snake rebuild it's stomach acid so that it can digest it's food properly the next meal it eats. Also for the next meal that you offter it, try a smaller pinky.

Well as for the second corn, try again and someday it should work. Don't worry about it too much okay? If you want faster response, just email me at

I do check this forum but not as much as email.

Good Luck and Happy Herping!
