Health Issues/Feeding ProblemsAnything related to general or specific health problems. Issues having to do with feeding problems or tips.
I've had my corn snake, Desmond, for 5, almost 6 months now. He has ALWAYS striked at his food. All of a sudden, he refuses to strike at his food and its almost like hes afraid of it. As far as I know, he didn't get hurt or anything so I don't know why this happened. Anyone know how I can fix this? I kinda liked watching him strike his food.
Are you feeding F/T. Or live. I feed F/T. and have corns that will strike, but on some occasions just cant be bothered. You could try holding the mouse by the tail, and wiggle about a little, this usually tricks the snake into striking and constricting.
Could always give him a stunned live feeder that would twitch a little, but I agree your situation seems to be a good one. minimul injury possibilities this way.
You could try putting the pinkie in and scenting a little. Just enough to get snakey up and about.. Tease him a little..Make him hunt.
On the other hand he might have a quirk... Our IJ will refuse all food introduced in front of him. But touch them on his side just behind his head, and bang...every time. I haven't got a clue why he does it, he just does. He's a brilliant feeder now we got that sussed....LOL

Well no it doesn't really matter... It was just more fun to watch him strike it.
More fun for you, doesn't make a hill of beans to him. I have four of them and not a single one strikes or constricts. I don't get a thrill from the "kill," so I don't care as long as they are eating.
