R.I.P skeet

So sorry to hear that the little guy didn't make it. It sounded like things were going so much better too.

I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like you did everything you could for him.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has destined some animals to be part of the food chain for other animals, although we raise a lot higher percentage in captivity than nature would allow in the wild.

You just have to do the best you can, and rest assured that the baby probably would not have fared better in the wild. And that you have learned things that will help you do even more in the future.

Good luck on future corns - don't give up!

I bought a corn snake from an all animal expo on the 5th of July (this month). I fed it a frozen/thawed pinkey mouse on wed the 8th, and today thurs the 23rd, I still cannot get her to eat. How do I get her to eat? Could you give me a few suggestions?

I'm not new to owning reptiles,in fact I have had many reptiles, and still do. It's just that this is the first one that refuses to eat.

Try reading the Health Issues/Feeding Problems FAQ. It's got some good info you can use.

Also, holy thread necromancy!

see all the temps in her cage are just fine. She has two hides, and a nice shallow water bowl.I thaw the mouse all the way through, and feed her in a separate container. I have tried slitting the brain, cutting the back, and washing the mouse. Does any one have any other ideas that I can try?

Put the separate container you feed the snake in into the viv over night with the snake inside and airholes of course. Leave the pinky in and don't check on anyone until the morning leaving the container away from the warm side and more towards the middle.

You can also try live, scenting the f/t mouse on a live rodent, soaking the mouse in tuna juice or chicken broth...

If you do try live, make sure you keep a close eye to make sure the snake doesn't get hurt.
