Maybe it would help trigger a better feeding reflex? You know, make the animal smell stronger and therefore stimulate acceptance (and possibly trigger digestive enzymes).
(I don't know anything about this at all - this is just a supposition).

In any case, unless you are having partially digested food animals either coming out in stools, or regurgitated, I wouldn't see any reason to presume they aren't fully digesting their meals

Yeah the arguments for it were pretty convincing and even some of the studies that were done on different sets of hatchlings were pretty cool. But perhaps as was mentioned in a past post in here, maybe Corns have a lesser ability to digest food as well as other species when they are young, so this is beneficial to them whereas it would not prove to be a benefit to other species of hatchlings. I more just started this just to see if this was common and just not spoken of much, or if it in fact was truly something unheard of in the herping community. I am glad to know now that it was as I thought

all joking aside i use to breed corn snakes and never heard of this nor have had any problems with regurgitation in corns due to digestion problems most time if there is a prob with regurg it has something to do with the flagelets in the stomic. but i also never feed or have fed mice to any of my animals always use rats.
