Coral Snake Ate! (Cornsnake lovers don't click!)

Finally after multiple tries with lizards and about every other trick I know, the Coral finally ate a baby cornsnake. WOO HOO! He is doing great for a Coral! and anyone who has kept Corals know how tricky they can be.

reptilez - baby corns bought as feeders are not expensive in the least. Even a normal baby sold as a pet in the states in cheap, so imagine buying a couple clutches at feeder prices.

I see you didn't pick up amelanistic ones, did you do the EVIL deed or did your coral do it?

Glad the coral ate

I have not decided whether to switch him or not. I prefer natural prey. But when feeding a coral snakes, they have to be fed ALOT! So perhaps I will try to switch him to scented pinks until I can get a good stockpile of dekayi, corns and rough green babies.

and yes, the coral did the honors. I was trying to tong feed and the coral was not interested. I though they were gonna become buddies after 6 hours. All it took was dusk.

I agree with invictus. (Not because he looks like he could put a curse on me,) BUT! There is a lot more possabilities than an expensive Corn.

I guess they are more expensive out of the states. Glad to hear your coral is eating BW. Hopefully after this weekend Chuck will have a coral or two I can deal with.

Corals are a MAJOR pain to work with. Stress kills them faster than a bullet and the will not stay on hooks. It is juggling act.
