I found a corn in my yard about a month ago, its approx. 40 inches and was kinda thin. We had just started getting a few warm days and I guess it was out looking for a meal. I didnt want it to become a meal so I brought it in. I fed it a mouse (dead of course) and it was still looking for more so I gave it another. which it quickly swallowed. It is very tame and never refuses a meal. It has become a favorite in the collection. My question is whether I can over feed a wild caught snake. It is very active 2-3 days after feeding and seems to be searching for food. I normally feed every 7-10 days (Ball pythons and Redtail Boas) but this guy cant seem to wait. I started feeding him(?) every 5 days and he settled down some but I dont want to overfeed. I may try switching to small (weanling ) rats and see if that helps. He shed once (full shed) and is beautiful. None of my captive bred snakes wants to eat this often.
