:rolleyes: I just got my first corn snake yesterday (yay!) and now I don't know how to prepare its pinkies. Can any one enlighten me?
 
I'm assuming they're frozen? :) Just run them under some warm water until they're completely thawed—squishy all the way through. You'll have to paw at them a little to find out. Corns like warm snacks, so make sure you let 'em thaw!
I usually drop mine in a sandwich baggie, put some hot water in with them and just let them sit for a few minutes. Then you can feel them through the baggie to see if they're soft.

If you're using a substrate like aspen in you corn's tank, you'll probably want to feed him/her in a separate container (like tupperware or a Kritter Keeper or something) to ensure that he/she doesn't swallow any of the bedding. That way your hands reaching into the tank won't be associated with food, too. I've found that turning the lights down a little helps my shy baby eat more readily, so you might want to try that. Give yours a few days to settle in before you handle or feed, just to make sure he/she isn't too stressed to hold it down.

Blah blah blah! I'm such a windbag. :grin011: Good luck with your new corn!
