Constricting Dead Prey

plus most anoles are wild caught and might have parasites.

Some of my snakes just eat....and a few flip all over the cage subdueing their dead prey.

I told you this in another thread. If you want something that eats live things, get a lizard. Feed it live bugs.

Corn snakes should NOT eat live prey of ANY kind. Please do not feed live chicks as I mentioned before.

thanks tula u have been a big help, but what about the chick question

Okay, maybe I am over-reacting to this. Are you waiting for someone to tell you "Yes you can feed live chicks"?

If so, and you want to put your snake into avoidable harm, then sure.."Yes you can feed live chicks!"..

psh.

its not that i want them to eat live prey i would be satisfied if it constricted dead prey cuz i like the action cuz don't get me wrong i love my new baby corn i just like watching him feed

Calm down fender... Breathe! A simple, "chicks are not suitable" is the answer to your question.

Corns do perfectly well on a diet that revolves around rodents, mainly mice and rats.

well i also read that can eat eggs and they are good for overall health but only every once and a while just like the chicks. How would i go about tryin to feed it an egg. I would have to get eggs from a farm right?

No.

LOL thats ridiculous. Egg eating snakes (funnily enough) eat eggs. Corn snakes cannot digest eggs. Like I said, a staple diet of rodents is perfect.

Are u sure cause i read it in a book that they do and that they would in the wild?
