Talking New baby

Hello
Well I was dropping off some food (medium and a pinky rat) at a friends house and she told me her babies hatched or piped pipped?? oh well you all know what I mean she lost one and cant find it anywhere in the cage. It has wire mesh type stuff that you would use for like a rabbit cage and who knows if it got out or if it was just hiding in the shavings. We tried to look but the snakes were hungry. She had the eggs in a rubber maid with holes poked in it and kept them on the cage with the parents. Do Corns by any chance eat babies like kings do?

Ok so anyways she lets me hold the baby.....





it was SOOOooo cute! Oh and that card board tube thing is a TP roll. This snake is so TINY!

Anyways she told me I could have it since she still had some eggs to hatch pip whatever and well I know nothing about corns realy. But I didnt see much difference if it ate its first meal there or here.

Im guessing that its first meal is going to have to be a live pinky mouse after its first shed. I also know that humidity is not an issue with them. Will it be ok in the rubber maid thingfor a while or should I find something else to put him in?

Also it was just fine with being held earlier at their house but it keeps trying to bite me when I look at it. I cracked up when it bit me! Ive been bitten harder by ants! and that tail was so cute mimicking a rattle snake!

Ok ok back to the point. Im gonna be cruisin the internet for care tips but it would be wonderful if anyone could type me some tips here. Please tell me that they can take F/T on a first feeding! I have a bunch of pinkies in the freezer with nothing to eat them my BPs and BCIs are way too big for them.

Also would this be considered a albino or possibly a snow? the mom was a snow and dad an okeetee (sp?)

I plan on leaving it alone for about a week to get settled in if this isnt necessary let me know

Thanks for any tips you may have
