'Angwi' (my corn!) Pics

Ok, heres a couple of photos I took earlier today whilst changing its water bowl:





Was going to ask what size prey you guys think I should be feeding it? But I suppose its hard to gage the snakes size from the pics without some sort of marker - so I'll see what I can do later.

The blurriness of the second is because I've not got a very steady photographer hand lol, so you'll have to excuse the blurriness

I'll update with some more photos later when I have my handling session

This one should give an idea of girth compared to a UK penny:



If anyone has any feedback on the size of prey I should be feeding my corn, I'd much appreciate it

Me holding Angwi:



My fiancee holding Angwi - he seemed to pose for the camera for this shot lol

if your corn is still on pinkies like you stated on another thread. I would slowly up the size of his/her prey. Maybe next offer 2 pinkies for a few feedings then try fuzzies and go from there.

Good luck and nice snake.

I'd be feeding that sized corn hoppers for sure. Maybe even 2 hoppers. Looks to still be a little small for an adult IMO...

Okeetee is a corn snake colour morph. Not sure if that is what that is though!

Gorgeous snakey, and yeah he probably could take hoppers by now!

Ah I see

As far as I'm aware he's just a normal common corn. I much preferred his colouring to the others that were on offer - mostly albinos, but I don't like them to much

I've got 9 'frozen' pinkys left, I think I'll feed him a couple of pinkys a week till they are used up. Or as someone else suggested, feed him every five days for a snake that size/age.

He's only a year old though.

Cheers peeps
