Answer 2

Corn snakes are rarely picky eaters if they have the proper heat and enclosure. One important aspect of feeding that is often overlooked is the addition of hiding areas to the cage. Corn snakes, like most snakes, like to feel secure in their environment. One way of providing for this need to is put hiding spots in the enclosure. Hiding spots can be made of anything, as long as the snake can completely fit inside the area and hide itself from view. Old cardboard boxes are good for this, but so are many of the commercially manufactured hiding spots available in pet stores. A hiding spot should be placed both on the warm end and the cool end of the cage, so that the animal can feel secure in any spot. Corn snakes kept without appropriate hiding areas become stressed and may refuse to eat.

Hatchling corn snakes begin eating pinky mice, and progress up to adult mice once they are mature. A good rule of thumb is to feed the snake a food item that is the same, or close to, the snake's diameter. Feed an item that is too large, and the snake will often regurgitate it. Snakes will also regurgitate if they do not have a warm area or if they are handled too soon after they eat. Corn snakes can be fed two times a week, but once is usually enough. Clean water should be available at all times, corn snakes drink often.

Answer 3

It depends on when you feed it.

Once a week - 2 to 3 mice

Twice a week - 1 to 2 mice

Once every two weeks - 3 to 5 mice

Once a month - 5 to 7 mice.

Usually its best to keep offering your snake mice until it turns away the food. When you see your snake "Yawn", this means your snake is full.

Answer 4

depends on the size but if you feed mice they will get addicted. Would you pay more to feed three mice per feeding or one rat for less money. See my point. If they are a baby only one or two depending on size the n you will need to feed bigger portions as the snake gets bigger.

Answer 5

It depends on the size of the snake.

My adult Corn Snakes will take two medium rats (body length 6-8 inches) in one meal - every two weeks.
