I fed her it went AMAZING!!!!!!! She ate 2 F/t hoppers, im going to get some more now as i can take the live back. i dont know if i should stick with the 2 hoppers a feeding or just go with 1 adult mouse???? help!!
Also a rats ( large and up) cost $11.99 plus hst ( 13% sales tax) so plug that into the aforesaid mentioned equation and you just threw away $270.97.
Point taken man, that's a lot of cash :-D

Well i was thinking on my way to the pet store, ill grab 2 Frozen hoppers and take the live as well just in case she wont eat the F/t.
So i thawed out the frozen ones in hot water and dried it with a town. Tried it and at first she was little hesitant and didn't no if she wanted it, but then she snatched it and scared the SH*T out of me! i jumped so high haha!!! But she ate 2 F/T hoppers and is now in her bigger hide.
I had to get 3 more frozen hoppers as i got to take the live ones back, so im going to feed her those the next feeding ( on the 16th) and then the feeding after that ill go with a adult mouse, i dont know it looked like she was having issues with the hoppers but that could just be me as iv never fed a snake before! but that was the best thing ever im so proud of her!!!
Thanks for all the help guys! now all i have to do is get the temp thing under control and get her used to me!! YAY!!!
It's a great feeling the first time they eat for you. Glad everything went well. And yeah I think we all jumped the first time ;-) lol

Lol yeah i hope! my mom laghed at me i jumped so high. the only thing i did that i didnt really want to cause iv heard horrer stories is, i fed her in her tank. will be bite me when i go to hold her next? ( of course not for 2-3days) im worried bout that now...but she didnt want to be picked up when i went to get her.
Opinions vary. Some feed in. Some feed out. But you change her water every two days. Your going to be handling most days. And only feeding once a week. So she's not going to associate her viv being opened just with getting fed. Give her a few days to settle (I know it's hard lol) before you try handling again. Ideally don't try handling untill she's fed two/ three times.

Wow really? i wont feed her every week? every 2 weeks i thought? thats what the previous owners said...i fed her tonight now i wont feed her again till the 16th...
Feeding every other week as you're planning to, for a 2yr old corn snake, is perfectly OK. I'd stick to that plan.
She's not going to try and bite you because you fed in her cage... Your hands won't smell like mouse when you're going in to change water or handle her, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If you do get a small bite, it's most likely a defensive one because she's a bit nervous. But most corns are real tame and get used to handling pretty quickly. Make sure she's eaten at least twice for you before you handle her though! This will make sure she has enough time to get relay settled in. It'll also give her more time to get used to the sight of you first
Here's the video I promised you of Pika eating... it's 6 minutes long, but I've included text throughout it explaining some stuff. Hopefully it puts your mind at ease a bit about the feeding process. They look kind of awkward at times, as if they're struggling, but it's all natural.
And don't judge my music choice... LOL!!!!!
