  1. stick him in a little tny tupperware container or a coffe cup with some air holes poked in it wit the baby pinkie and leave it overnight. you can use a paper bag, but i've had my snakes attempt to eat the pinkie and failing, and the spit out mouse is wet which weakens the bag which allows for escapage... to be save, whatever you stick the snake in, enclose the whole thing back in it's tank so if it gets out, it doesn't matter.

    i had huge issues with my corn snakes eating. they started eating frozen thawed just fine, then eveuntally just decided to stop and only eat live ones. then it was a beeeeeeep to try and find live mice that were small enough every week... i find that if you put the snake into a tupperware with a live mouse, and a drop or two of water in a warmish place that is very dark, the snake will eat if you leave it alone overnight. the water washes off the mouse pee or whatever, causing more smell, and making the snake more enticed.

    if you have the guts, you might also try braining the mouse, stabbing a knife into it's head and letting the brains and stuff out, the snakes are usually interested in the smell. but seriously, EW.  


  2. pinky rat or pinky hamster but maybe hes not hungry

  3. well that depends on how big he is.

    If he is big enough I would suggest that you put him and the pinkie in a brown paper bag and leave them over night.hat he will eat it

    I can almost guarantee that he will eat it.

  4. Nothing else. Corn Snakes are strict carnivores. Baby Corns will eat pinkies (Newborn Baby Mice). Juveniles will eat fuzzies (Baby Mice Starting to grow hair). Sub Adults will eat hoppers(mice with all hair). Adults will eat hoppers to adult mice.

    If you want a insectivore, then your best bet would be a rough green snake. It is really popular in the pet trade.

    You can also get garter snakes. They eat pinkies, toads, minnows, and roaches.

    Do some research about them.

    Good Luck
