We've all been doing it wrong!

I was completely unaware that we were supposed to COOK the mice before feeding to the snakes!!! Obviously the people doing the field work failed to notice the stoves in the wild corns' kitchens.


Luckily, my local Kijiji has an ad up right now regarding this, or I would still be completely clueless:

Hi i am selling my corn snake, it is a female hypo corn snake, she is held daily and is fed on fridays, usaly between 5-9 pm,that is the time she enjoys eating at , she eats pinkie mice that are frozen in the freezer untill fed, must be boiled till cooked,cooled to room tempeture then use tongs feed. She is only a couple months old and was purchase for 80.00 at reptile wrangler, and is extremly healthy, Just the snake for sale. Email if interested

still available as long as add is still up!

Wow-I wonder how many replies that person got, telling them they were doing it wrong...LOL

Well... I like mine medium rare.

My snakes do enjoy a good rat chili or pinky pie. It's important to vary your cooking techniques so that your snakes don't get bored eating the same old frozen dinners every night.

How about BBQ'd? yummy

Oh. My. [insert deity of personal preferance]!

Let's see...paid $80, only a couple months old, yet extremely healthy. Makes me wonder why this individual is selling the snake at all...

psssst...my guess would be it's not eating right, but...what do I know??

I serve mine with a side of steamed veggies, and some banana cream pie for dessert.

This thread is officially making me hungry.

"she eats pinkie mice that are frozen in the freezer untill fed, must be boiled till cooked, cooled to room tempeture then use tongs feed."

So they freeze the mice, then they boil the mice and THEN they cook the mice??? Talk about NO nutritional value! What temp do you cook a mouse at, once it's been boiled?

Considering they are asking only $25 for the snake, I'll bet you hit the nail right on the head!
