First feed at my house was a family affair

Hi there.

Here are some photos of the first time I fed My New Babies at home. It was a family affair. Even the kitten showed interest in what was going on...

I am just very glad they eat well after there 7 hour road trip from the snake farm less than a week ago.

Great snakes! You should feed them separately though, snakes can mistake another snake for food, it's more common during or just after feeding. Good luck with the new ones!
 
Do both your snakes live together? I'd be especially careful of that with a jungle corn ...
 
They do stay seperatly and will get fed seperatly. This was a controlled photo shoot and I separated them straight afterwards.
 
I don't understand why you would purposley put your snakes together to feed? Maybe for a quick photo session, but not a feeding photo?! Perhaps you do not understand the potential risks in doing so...

IMO photographing snakes feeding on their own can be stressful nevermind shoving them together and flinging in some mice THEN making a spectacle of it? Maybe I am over reacting.
 
:punch: Hi Tula_Montage

I think you are over reacting a bit here. I do know the risks involved and I was not trying to make a spectical of the wole thing.

If I only submitted the first 3 photos then this would not even be mentioned.

All I was trying to do is to share the excitement of my new alivals with other corn owners and not open myself up to Ill-treatment. :punch:
 
Hardly ill-treatment... THATS overreacting. And there was no need for those emotes.

I understand the excitment of new arrivals, but puting snakes together to feed for the purpose of pictures just baffles me.
 
Lovely snakes, but I hope you don't mind if I raise a concern. Feeding on a particulate substrate could lead to impaction if enough indigestible matter sticks to the prey and is swallowed by the snake, particularly in hatchlings.

Elle I agree with you, even for "effect" the first thing noticed is they are together, the second is the substrate they are eating on, along with substrate in water dish. But maybe I am over reactin also. susan
 
At the very least, ignoring the other argument, take them out of that substrate when feeding them, that is a very good way to get your snakes impacted.
Also keep in mind that all of this arguing only has your snakes best intrests at mind...so I guess you do what you think is best, but if anything ever happens as a result don't say that they didn't try to warn you... :shrugs:
 
I see no arguing? I merely pointed out the obvious problems with feeding 3 snakes in the same tank on ingestible substrate. If I hadn't questioned his motives, someone else would have.

Well he seems to think you guys are arguing with him, so I stuck with the word.
 
nice snakes, really beautiful.

For the advise given;

Nowing you now they shoudn't be fed together makes us happy :)

for the substrate, what is that? little rocks? anyway, I would advise some other substrate. Plenty of choise in that. Those litle guys like to burrow from time to time so some aspen or repti bark works great and keeps you're humidity right. If u need more info, do a search on substrate in the forum.

For the rest,...

Hey, welcom to the wonderfull world of cornsnakes :cheers:
