Re: Anything other than mice?

No, corn snakes should only be fed mice or appropriately sized rats.

Also... if you've had WC snakes before... didn't your parents seen you feed them mice? What's the difference now?

There are a couple options.

Garter snakes do fine on fish and worms (Their natural diet anyways) and Dekayi or red belly snakes feed exclusively on worms, snails and slugs.

I teach my garters to take mice, it's not their first food choice.

Tropical snakes I would not recommend, for instance the Cylophiops Major of Asia eats worms, but have very tricky husbandry requirements, and all specimens sold in the USA are wild caught in Asia and shipped here as pets, nearly all of them die in the first year.
