Quick Question

Quick question on everything

Hey guys I have a few quick questions.

Ok, Im trying to get a corn snake but my mom has a thing w/killing mice and does not want 2 get 1 b/c of that. Are there any other things I could feed a corn snake?

The second thing is that my brother has a corn snake and he says that they have escaped a couple times, how can I prevent that from happening?

And the last thing is what size tank should i get for cornsnake? Right now i have a 10 gal. but Im not sure how much it will grow.

Any help would really be appreciated along w/any other tidbits of info
thanx :)
 
Well, if her thing is with the killing of the mice, it shouldn't be a problem. Frozen mice are easily available and most corns will happily live on thawed mice. If it's the killing part she doesn't like, she'd never have to see it, they come already as mouscicles. :)

If it's the dead mouse part she doesn't like, you may be out of luck. T-Rex does make frozen snake steak sausages that corns can eat, but the trick is getting one to. They are also quite expensive, but the product does exist.

Corns are carnivores, they will eat appropriately sized birds, rodents, lizards...most likely more than that in the wild. By far in captivity, the easiest foods to come by for them are frozen rodents (either mice or rat pups when the corn is big enough).
 
30 gl. would be ideal when they get to adult size, but a 10gl. will work for quite a while. I have a yearling in a 10 gl. that's not too big for it yet.
