FL King VS. Corn

In the left hand corner we have the great the magnificent FL. King coming in at 28" and in the other we have the non-feeding/non thriving Corn coming in at 8". WHO WILL WIN?! Duh of course the King... Ok I know its morbid but I did it to put the corn out of its misery, Enjoy the pic.

*LOL* Simon! Crazycorn, I love corn snakes, but, if I had a corn that was just wasting away no matter what I tried doing, I would do the exact same thing.

Sorry but I am a sissie female who just could NOT do that. LOL I'm afraid I'd have to ask my friend to do something because he's a big butch male.

Hi Ruth,

I like that portrait of the Cal-King that you use for your "avatar". Cute pose. Black and white Cal-Kings are awesome.

Cheers, from a "transplanted" Briton,

Simon

Question on feeding corns to kings - do you ever find the kings are more reluctant to take mice after feeding on snakes - or are they just such pigs that they will eat anything.

I have been using my cull corns as feeders for an oscar fish but will have some king babies this year (I hope) and wondered if it might be a problem converting them back after they have snake.

Mary,

I think that kings are such generalist feeders that they don't really much care what they get, as longs as there's lots of it, lol!

Although, I suppose that if fed alternate prey items over a period of time the animal may become imprinted on that particular food item. Probably depends on the individual specimen.

Cheers!

Simon
