Could corn snakes eat bugs?

Question

Could corn snakes eat bugs?

Answer 1

No, in the wild they eat rodents, birds, and bird eggs. In captivity, you feed them mice or rats. They are not insect eaters. I've heard of people who have fed them crickets, but these are people who shouldn't own snakes.

Answer 2

sure anything that they eat in there natural habitat (the wild) is pretty much ok for those bred in captivity.i would go with store bought & raised crickets probly large depending on the size of the snake.

Answer 3

unfortunatly no,

Corn snakes cannot eat insects because they do not have the same muscle fibre (protein) they require for natural growth. the smallest wild creature a baby corn snake could eat are dew worms or earth worms( and they love em) they can also feed on small goldfish.

Answer 4

No, corn snakes definetly do NOT eat bugs, insects, or fish!

They only eat rodents such as mice, and the larger adults can eat rats. When the snake is large enough, some people will occasionally offer their corns a chick (from a place like http://www.rodentpro.com/ ) But that is only for adult corns, and it is not necessary at all to keep your corn healthy. If you do offer chicks, it should only be occasionally as they are not usually as healthy for corns as rats are, and they cause runny stool.

Answer 5

NO.

Only baby mice and rats.

Answer 6

No. Cornsnakes only eat rodents such as rat pups, pinkie mice, fuzzies. Cornsnakes dont eat bugs... But if you want a snake that can eat bugs, I would recommend a Garter Snake.

Answer 7
