New Addition!

Here he is. I don't know his date of birth because in all the exitment I totally forgot. His name is Houdini. His name is Houdini because after about 1 hour of having him he found a way to get out. A little tiny crack that was there when we put him in there. I also have a question. Should I try feeding him on Monday. (Thats the day he has been fed normally) I know he probably wont eat but some people say that they always do whenever they get a new snake.

Re: New Addition!

You can feed him on Monday, if he eats good if he doesn't no biggie. It won't cause a lot of stress as corns are pretty good about that stuff.

Re: New Addition!

Yayyy Congrats!! Finally! You worked hard to earn Houdini, well done
Now secure that cage super super good so that he won't get out again!!
And yes, feeding him on Monday should be fine. Let us know how it goes. Can't wait to see more photos of your little guy.

Re: New Addition!

Will do it is very hard not to take him out. When I first got him and held him to put him in his cage he didn't even try to bite at all.

Re: New Addition!

nice! you got a mellow one. lol my wifes old corn bit everytime he saw a finger. from hatchling to adult he was MEAN! she handled him all the time but he never mellowed out. On the flip side of that though I have seen a bunch of corns that are as mellow as can be. very cool that yours is mellow.

Re: New Addition!

I am a bad keeper...i always offer food shortly after i get the critter. With the exception of maybe 3-4, everyone always eats *lol*
I have pretty tame critters though. Still, i feel like if they were upset, they wouldn't eat..

Re: New Addition!

Congrats! He's a pretty corn! Sorry to hear he got loose but glad you found him. Same thing happened to my friend when he first got his little baby corn. I can't remember where he said he found him, but he wasn't hard to locate.

Like everyone else has said, feed him Monday. If not, no biggie. Just leave him alone for another few days...about 5 and try again. If you're feeding f/t, just make sure it's nice and warm for him.

I've never had one so little but IIRC every 5 days is a good feeding schedule for him. That's what my friend does with his. It amazes me how big a food item they can eat being so tiny! Take a feed pic for me! I find it fascinating!

Again, congrats! I know how long you've waited to get him
