NEW CORN

[KORNDOG]

I HAVE RECENTLY ACQUIRED A WILD CAUGHT CORN SNAKE, AND I WAS WONDERING IF THIS MAKES A DIFFERENCE AS TO WHAT I FEED HIM SHOULD I FEED HIM PINKIES OR LIVE ANOLES, WHICH ARE EASIER TO OBTAIN

pinkies are easier to get..well they are here Im not sure about where you live. Also, some snakes will only eat anoles once fed them and that can become quite expensive to sustain! I would imagine that wherever you are pinkies are easier and cheaper.
Also, if its a wild caught corn, have you had it vetted for parasites etc??

Yeah, get it to a vet asap. It's probably best that you feed your new snake prekilled rodents but it might be very fussy and not take well to them. Anoles can be used and the snake can gradually be weaned onto mice.
