I know it's pages apart but sometimes a snake won't eat when someone is around and lights are on. There obviously wasn't an issue with this cornsnake but some snakes are difficult and leaving the room for 10 minutes or so won't really hurt. Aslong as you're using prey that can't really hurt a snake. I generally leave fuzzy mice in overnight with my sand boas.

I saw Aaron post and thought I was gonna get both barrels!

**Aaron_S** · 02-03-12, 09:32 PM

Oh man you people just wait for me to post eh?

I'm feeling all tingly,warm and fuzzy on the inside

KORBIN5895 · 02-03-12, 09:41 PM

Actually I like your posts......

**Aaron_S** · 02-03-12, 10:07 PM

Well I'm glad you do.

Anyway back to the topic at hand. Kylie, sounds like you've got things well in hand and just keep asking questions.

Korbin is right, if it's been 24 hours if it wasn't a large meal than you could handle your little girl for a very brief time to readjust the enclosure. I would place her in a small tub or deli cup for the duration of you moving things around though.

**Aaron_S** · 02-03-12, 10:20 PM

Yes, that'll be fine. Just ensure she can't escape.
