Need help with a corn-snake.?

Question

I have a girl and a boy corn-snake, and since i've got them, i've feed them frozen mice. But since i'm going to have to feed alive mice at some point, should I switch to alive mice??? Or should I stay with frozen?

Answer 1

Why would you have to feed live mice at some point?

Stick to frozen, it's much safer for the snake and I find it a lot more convenient.

Answer 2

You dont have to switch, unless you want 2. For know you should stay on frozen, that always seems to be snakes favorite. Good Luck!

Answer 3

why would you have to feed live?  tons of snakes stay of frozen thawed all their lives.

Answer 4

Pet stores have frozen snake foods from pinkie mouse size to large rabbits. Frozen is much easier on you and the snake. Stick with frozen.

Answer 5

You can always feed them frozen as long as you make sure to fully thaw them out.

I would suggest feeding them both in different enclosures and not in their tanks, and DEFINITELY not together at the same time.  

Answer 6

There is no reason to give them live mice, and doing so only invites disaster from sharp mice teeth. All my snakes (and I've owned quite a few over the years) eat frozen/thawed or fresh pre-killed.You can order frozen mice delivered to your house from a number of sources...
