Hi all,
I found an albino corn on Craigslist for free today. I'm glad the lady decided to let me have it as she really was under feeding it, or her 15 year old son was, I'm not sure who was really taking care of it.
She said it was his snake and he wasn't that interested in it anymore, that girls were now more interesting to him. Then she went on to say that he never had been really interested in it.
Other than the under feeding, and a heat lamp and not a uth, it was in a 20 gallon tank, a hide, driftwood, big water dish, some plastic plants, so money was spent.
She said it was 4 years old and was getting 2 or 3 pinkies every week or two. I don't think it is more than 1/2 inch think or so. Guessing it is 2 1/2 feet long. She doesn't know when it was fed last. So, what kind of feeding schedule would you recommend? A fuzzy every 4 days? Two? Three? For a month or two then move up to hoppers? I'm grateful for any advice and help.
I want it to settle in before weighing and pictures. Oh, I think it is a Snow. It is not an Amel or Anery. What with a light pattern red eyes.
I'd do a search, but my mind seems to work differently than the searches and I never find what I need, even though it is there.
Thanks again for any help and advice.
