BABY corn snake hasn't eaten one meal yet and is 3 months old - GREEN poo

So after the initial excitement, a quick check revealed it was an incomplete shed. Into the snake-o-bath with Rosie. She shed the bottom 2 thirds easily, then the very tail-tip needed gentle persuasion to come off with a piece of damp kitchen roll. I never measured Rosie, but I'm sure comparing these with her first photos she's growing in length now.
This is the first shed for her (after her post-hatching shed) so very good proof that she's starting to grow

Nice - even with an incomplete shed this is good news. Keep us posted; aside from the random image thread, this is probably my favorite on the site...

Yay keep it up Rosie. Go girl xx

She poops. She grows. She sheds. Now, just eat little girl! Eat!

awe so nice to see her shed. I always check for updates to this thread when I come on. Rosie has a whole community of snake keepers rooting for her!!! GO ROSIE!!!

She has a huge body of support from everyone reading. Like many others, I check this thread daily. Truly, an inspiration.

Rosie is coping well with her syringe-fed pinky puree, but I want her to get to 10g before I start trying her on independent feeding, so I'm upping both the quantity (2 whole mls!) and the frequency of her feeds. Back in the days when my snow Diamond Lil was driving me crazy and starving herself, it took washed live pinks to get her feeding. I'm not planning to breed mice unless I have to, but I've had a very generous offer from someone who does! So if little Rosie won't take f/t I have a back up plan....

Glad to hear little Rosie is doing well. How much does she weigh now?

I'm morbidly curious...just how do you make the pinkie puree anyway?

Another thought that just popped into my head... since so many corns seem to put on a growth spurt when they start eating more mature feeders, would it possibly promote faster growth if she was fed pureed fuzzies or hoppers or even adult mouse puree? Obviously you would still need to feed the appropriate amount. An interesting thought, but I don't think I recommend making Rosie the guinea pig to see how that would work out... I'm just curious what other people think of the idea.

5g on her last weigh-in.
I finely chop a pinky while it's still frozen with a small serrated edged knife, so I'm actually shaving off slivers rather than chopping, really.
With my former bad girl Lil, I did actually mince and then whizz in a blender hoppers and small adult mice for exactly that reason, but then she was well over the age that pinkies are usually fed. I then froze individual lumps of 'moussicle' to thaw for her feedings.
As Rosie is still so young, I'm using pinks with a nice fat 'milk tummy' at the moment.

I recently read through this whole thread. Such a pretty little girl! Goes to show there's hope in any situation. Go little Rosie!
