I don't really keep a schedule with Cy.

He gets 1-2 adult mice or 2-4 Hopper Mice, rat pinks (4-5 at a time) or rat pups approximately every 5-12 days.

He's sold as a rock, thick and longer than my arm.

My food choice depend on what I have in the freezer, or if I need to "cull" population in my feeder colonies.

Sometimes my frozen rodent supplier will have "sale items" like "Hot deal rat pinkies $15 per 100" so I order a couple hundred. My larger Garter Snakes (The females) will also eat them.

Usually when I thaw out the food for my other colubrids, I just thaw a few extra out and see who's hungry.

CY has never turned down food.

Took this one tonight...

omg i LOVE the sheds...i love seeing that little sheded snake face! And it's all slid down the back and you can still see it...so cute! Actually out of all the sheds, i've only ever kept one and it was my corn snake

And that snake has a thick neck! LOL healthy!!

[sassy_snake_lady]

Really pretty amel.

That close up feeding shot is brilliant!

I notice in those feeding pics that he's eating the mice butt first. When I had my corn she always ate her meals butt first (rather than head first). Is this a typical corn thing? lol

Looks like my girl ultramel :)

Typical for mine, that's all I can say. It's the only corn I have ever owned.

Mine eat whatever way they strike it. Butt first, side, front whatever

...........Ditto^^

All 11 of mine eat head first most of the time. Only occasionally do they try to eat butt first.
