A question that needs anwering

Well I am supposed to take my two corns on tv tomorrow but I forgot and have already fed them. What is the absolute minimum time that you can handle them without them regurging? If I really can't take them Monday morning without hurting them please let me know and I will cancel. Thanks.

They should be fine. The "rule" is 24 hours for a properly sized meal but that is a loose guideline. If there is no visible lump, I don't see any problem with gentle handling.

I agree with Tim. I've had to take my corn to the vet the day after an evening meal and she digested fine - even with all the disturbances.

Ok, I feel better about it now. Thanks guys, and wish Peppermint and Guttata good luck on their tv debut.

what are they going on tv for?

We're back, everything went fine. And we had them on tv because I work at a wildlife sanctuary and every Monday we take one of our rescued exotic "pets" on the news. We have on corn snake and I brought mine too to show the different colorations of corns and to try to convince people that if they must have a pet snake to start out with a corn snake and not something like a burm.

That sounds like fun. I'd like to do that someday. Congrats on a good t.v. program.

ooo, that sounds pretty cool. is it on a national chanel? or just like local?

FireTigress · 05-10-04, 07:51 PM

Just local sorry. But anyone in the Tulsa area can watch it every Monday at 11:30 on Ch2.
