can someone give me a list on what to feed my snake?

It's true a corn doesn't need anything more than mice (Wade you funny :)).
The bones in the mice provide enough calcium for their needs, and they don't need any supplements as some other reptiles.
Some people do give them other foods now and again (like newborn chicks for instance). So you can do that if you like to change diet now and again, but it's not necessary.
And I've heard their poop turns really smelly if you do that :D
 
Also it can possibly be risky giving your corn a different food(baby chicks etc) occasionally because some will then take a preference to the "other" food item and then stop eating their mice.

Mice provide everything they need to keep them healthy and strong, stick with the mice and your snake will be health and not deficient in anything.
 
No particular order, just select the appropriate size!

Mice
Rats (small ones)
Hamsters
ASF's
Gerbils
Chicken (ask Vinman)
Chicks
Anoles'
Fingers

Hope that helps!

1-- Mice
2-- Mice
3-- Mice
You forgot mice Wade:dunce:, they can also eat mice......:grin01:
Wade is right...... Corns can eat a lot of things and some of them can be seasonal or hard to come by if your corn takes a liking to them...
Stick with mice, it's simpler....
 
I have appointed myself the self appointed advocate of thought. Thought is something we used to do before we had the Internet. I’m sure you have heard about it. It often went hand in hand with reading. People in the old days would get a book and read about a subject and then think about what they had read. Sometimes they would even make decisions based on their thoughts.

The Internet is not in itself inherently bad. The problem is that we have allowed it to take the place of thought. We read things on the Internet and except them for facts without giving them any thought of our own. Sometimes we forget that most of what we read on the Internet was written by bored teenagers.

In the old days it was quite difficult to publish your thoughts into a form that could then be distributed to the general public. First you had to go to the effort of compiling your thoughts into a written form that could be read and comprehended by others. That is a pretty major task. Then you had to find a publisher who would take the time to read your thoughts, and convince him that your thoughts were of enough value to invest thousands of dollars in. Once you had a book published, you had to convince the public that your thoughts had enough merit that they should spend their money and buy your book, and spend their time reading and thinking about your book.

Today all you have to do is click on CS.com and say, “Hey, I heard pine shavings were bad and feeding goldfish was good.” Thousands of people around the world are now telling their friends what they read on the internet.

This is my opinion. I hope you will give it some thought.

Wade,
I am trying to give thought to what you wrote, but find it difficult since I have yet to find the posting on the internet on how I am to think...could you link me to it?

Snakes don't need treats. Snakes won't recognize what you give them as a treat. Appropriately-sized rodents are fine as the staple food for a cornsnake for its entire life. It takes a pretty huge cornsnake to eat a day-old chick!
