my husband and my corn snakes!(no pics)

we have 3 young corns, a female ghost, named Isis who was hatched on sept 1, and a male snow, named Blitz, who was hatched may 19 both came from kathy love from cornutopia. and one male amel motley/stripe male named Damien. he was a petstore snake so I don't know when he was hatched. Blitz has not eaten since the saturday before he was shipped, about 2 weeks ago, despite being offered food 4 times since they arrived.

I am able to kind of handle them, and have just recently started holding them without gloves. I love them, but am still scared of them at the same time. lol
of course I am not holding the snow since I want him to eat like Damien does before he is handled at all.

Congrats on your new babies! Although you're not asking for advice, I'll offer some on trying to get Blitz to eat.

First, make sure the vivs are correctly set up...right temp ranges, hides, etc. Make sure you have a seperate viv for each corn. You've done right by not handling him yet...give him time to settle in. Feed him in a seperate container, preferably small enough so he HAS to come in contact with the food. Give him plenty of time to eat...over-night should be fine. Try a variety...F/T, F/T brained, and live to start. Try a smaller than normal prey item.

Good luck and keep up posted.

thanks! now I am feeding f/t pinkies, and I am going to try to breed my own live pinkies. Isis ate once since she has been here, and last night she ate again finally, so hopefully she is now used to enough that she will eat for us. Blitz still hasn't eaten but I am going to try again when Damien gets fed tomorrow. maybe the pinkies smelled different, because as soon as I gave Isis a pinkie from the new bag I got, she ate it.
