Tbh I have no clue if corns are labled as nocturnal or diurnal. I was always under the impression that they were nocturnal. There are other animals that are considered to be "nocturnal" but still come out during the day like cats. Maybe its the same with corns.

Corns are actual dirunal and if I remember correctly they physically hunt as opposed to just wait in ambush.

That's weird. My corn acts like a nocturnal snake. I have never seen it once come out during the day. It will always come out at night hunting for food.

Petsmart and petco don't sell live baby's.. Only adults

There is part of the problem .. Try finding a different store. Not only are their mice HORRIBLY over priced - but I know of several people who have bought reptiles (especially anoles/geckos) with mites. I do not live in Texas, but I have been several times and found quite a few pet-stores.

Well I will try to look around! Thanks for the tip

The way he was all over that gecko and the size of it i would think he could easily take a fuzzy.

My snake is about 14 in. Don't you think it's to small for a fuzzy?

That gecko looked bigger than a fuzzy.

Not at all. My boa is 14in. and can eat a regular/large hopper.
Granted .. Sand boas are a bit thicker than corn snakes but not enough to make that much of a difference. I would push for larger (with in reason.) rather than smaller.

Granted, there is no answer all for feeding. What works for my snake may not work for yours .. but I think a fuzzy would be more of an appropriate size than a pinky.
