Orville Redenbacher

[wade]

I am really worried about my corn snake Orville. He has stopped eating all together. He used to come out and play with William III, the king snake. Now he just stays coiled up in the corner. I thought he might be cold so I moved his aquarium to a table in front of a big window so he gets lots of sun all afternoon. You can put your hand on the cedar shavings and feel that they are nice and warm.

I have a plate of corn out for him but he doesn’t seem at all interested. Do you think I should change to creamed corn since he is just a baby?

William III goes over and licks his face every once in a while, but it doesn’t seem to cheer him up.

I’m so worried; I just don’t know what to do.

[Nanci]

Do you have a heat lamp on him? Are you heating the corn? It might help to scent it with butter. He ought to be able to eat whole corn even though he is a baby. I think it might help to bathe him.

[wade]

I hadn't thought of butter. I'll get right on that!

[Nanci]

If butter doesn't work, you could try salt, but it's hard to get them off that, then.

[wade]

I have read about problems with sodium

[Tula_Montage]

Give him a butter bath. That way he will be all shiney... I heard shiney snakes are healthy snakes that like to eat.

[El Jefe]

Have you tried putting the corn or creamed corn in a bowl and on some ice cream?

[Nanci]

Maybe if you put ice cream on William III he would lick it off...

[snakewispera snr]

Are you lot mad.....Cornsnakes DONOT eat Creamed corn with or without butter........
They eat popcorn...Idiots....
And sunlight will not help.......Make a little camp fire with the shavings.......Pine smells nice.....

[wade]

Now you're getting a little weird. :grin01:

[patm1313]

I'm assuming all of this is a joke?

Popcorn? Bite me.

You ever try to floss a cornsnake after s/he has eaten? It's a PITA.

Dude, April Fool's day was yesterday. When you miss your timing, just let it go. Or was this just your way of saying you're so much better than noobies who ask what may seem like simple questions? Let me guess, you were born a genius.

[snakewispera snr]

I always find the flossing a lot easier than the gargle and rinse.....

[Tula_Montage]

Oh come on Mr serious. Anyone with half a nose can smell the sarcasm a mile away!

Havin' some fun... then reeeeel it in :(

[SnakesRule1234]

April Fools' Day was yesterday.. unless somehow it's now on the 2nd....

[snakewispera snr]

What, your trying to tell me this thread is a joke......No.....

[Duff]

Oh come on Mr serious. Anyone with half a nose can smell the irony a mile away!

Havin' some fun... then reeeeel it in :(Was this aimed at me? If not, then just ignore my response.

I am far from Mr Serious. Just ask anyone that actually knows me. On the other hand, I do not need to stoop to the level of laughing at/downplaying others to make myself appear intelligent and witty. That would be called bullying, for those unfamiliar with the concept, and is a cheap way to get a laugh, IMO. I also failed to see or smell any irony in this thread :shrugs:

[Cordon1]

Im confused, Why would a corn snake eat corn for?

i know This is propbly a stupid question

[wade]

Oh for crying out loud. This is more of a joke than the one I started. It was very dull and quiet in here this morning and I thought I would just try to get a little conversation going. I did not mean to step on your tiny little ego.

If you spend 5 minutes reading the posts on CS you will see that the people who you are mad at for picking on the noobs are the very same people that answer most of the sincere questions here.

To quote a very famous lady, "Havin' some fun....then reeeeel it in"

Fiber, it is really important to get a little fiber every day!!!

My bad, I didn't bother to look at the date. Anyway, I played my own little april fools in the chat.

I managed to convince everyone that I had inherited a burmese python! :eek: :)

And thus you have proven my point exactly... :dancer:

I realised I was a bit of a word muddler, and I meant sarcasm. Silly moi.

[jazzgeek]

Fan of irony that I am, I also have not seen any in this thread.

However, I have witnessed a non sequitur (http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0).

I really wish I could be one of the cool kids like you :bowdown:

You didn't step on my "tiny little ego". And just so you know, those that step on egos are usually doing so because they have problems with their own. And who said I was mad at anyone? I was merely calling out what I saw to be pretty low and tactless. It's who I am.

Oh jeebus here we goooo again Duff...

Perhaps I missed the point, but how is this lighthearted thread offending anyone?

[SnakesRule1234]

Best. Thread. Ever.

I agree with Mr. Jazz, I think creamed corn is the only way to go. Salt and Butter are going to take their toll in the long run. Just veggies for my boy.

William III will stay on his raw meat and fur diet.

Strange thing is....I LOVE THAT SONG. It's one of the few things of the 80s that I found tolerable.

But you'll get no argument from me that the video is as cheesy as it gets.

[SnakesRule1234]

His voice doesn't match... him. Which is weird. But it's one of those addicting songs I guess, that everyone knows and has stuck in their head.

[jazzgeek]

His voice doesn't match... him.

Agreed, and that's part of its charm, I guess....speaking as a pasty white guy with a bass voice, it was a pleasant surprise twenty years ago to hear a song that sounded like a James Ingram/Barry White cross come out of ..... a pasty white guy. ;)

I sure would not admit it if it was stuck in my head.. It always seemed to me the boy was just not right, sort of like cream corn for a king snake.. *LOL*

Why oh why did I click that link. The horror...the horror...

Creamed seems to work for my corns! But god did I ever have a hard time trying to milk a "Milk" snake for her young....

Sorry I was late in reading this post.
I always feed cornbread or grits. No need for flossing then.:dancer:

Or you could just by them a Mongoose to play with :eek:

[Nanci]

That's hard to believe! Why do you think they call them milksnakes? Inez spews out milk every time I pick her up! I have to run to the kitchen with her and get a glass!

[wade]

Why would you milk a milksnake? Can’t the babies just suckle?

[snakewispera snr]

Actually I used to make milking stools for milk snakes...Made out of the purest ivory

[Nanci]

As long as it's mammoth ivory, that's ok.

[snakewispera snr]

Never!.... I only used fake ivory.....It came from the penal bone of the walrus...

[jazzgeek]

That's odd.

Most of the stool that I've seen isn't ivory in color.







(What?)

jazz

[snakewispera snr]

Thats because we use tortoise to protect the pure (fake) ivory....D'oh.

[Nanci]

That's odd.

That means you don't have biliary system problems, and/or haven't visited me at work recently!

your job must be the craps

[snakewispera snr]

Yet people go to casinos to play in a crap game.....

lol wow.....too funny!
