Man, corns are easy to feed

I put a thawed fuzzy down and it goes over and starts swallowing. No constricting or me having to tease the thing. Much, much easier to feed than my 1.1 pair of BP's.

This guy is making me like corns more and more.
 
mine is pretty much the same although i tend to "tease" her with her pinkies just for the fun of really :)
 
my snake does not constrict the live mice

my corn is about 14 mounthes old he does not constrict the live fuzzys is that normale
 
Indeed

I've got 1.0.0 okeetee and 1.2.0 BP's. The BP's are so much more difficult to feed, with a corn, throw it in and forget about it. Not so with a BP, try scenting the prey item, heat it, wiggle it. Put BP and prey in sack - feed only at night , the list goes on.

If only..............
 
Making your corns "work" for their food can be good excercise for them, lol. And entertaining for you. Mine will now strike really far into the air to get their food, like one of those jump shows that people do with crocodiles. One of mine even caught a pink in midair one time!

And my BP thinks that it's a corn, it eats just like one. Shhhh, don't tell it otherwise!

As for whoever is feeding live fuzzies, you should switch to prekilled asap. They're better for your snake and can even be easier for you.
 
I like the fact that the corn eats without having to "make it work" for it. It's a nice change of pace from having to tease feed the BP's. I wish they would just take what I dropped in. My arm gets tired sometimes from trying to feed the female. She only eats when there is fast, sudden movement. She has literally taken up to a 1/2 hour or more at times to strike the food item. The male is MUCH better but he still needs to be tease fed.
 
My guy likes to hold on to my hand when he eats. It makes dinner time so easy for him and me. I can get him to eat both pinky's in a few minutes, then its back into the viv. Last night I dangled one of his pinkies just to see what would happen.. All I can say is WOW.
