Wow, that would be a wonderful snake stand

Exactly! I already have Pumpkin's 40 gallon in a spot, but I could totally just swap it out for one of those in the stand and have a tank for Dax when he grows up, plus room for more!

Oh and i can see me drinking a lot of vietnamese coffee now that we have the pot

Yeah. I just don't have that kind of extra funds at the moment sadly.

 

[wvloony]

Plus that giant thing wouldn't fit in our tiny car. A single 40 gallon barely fit in the backseat.

Borrow a truck

I don't know anyone with a truck either. The few people that had trucks all swapped them in for small cars. I would have to try to borrow my father-in-law's van, but that's his work vehicle.

But sadly its all hypothetical right

Yep.

He may be shy about eating, but he's certainly not shy about exploring. I walked by his cage earlier and he was just hanging out like this for a while.

 

[wvloony]

I had worf out again to try and feed him, nope not hungry yet, so i just held him and let him explore. Hes very timid, hes gonna be a good snake i think

I'm probably going to try again on food tomorrow evening. If he doesn't eat, I may painfully try to give a live pinky just to get something in him.

My daughter was saying that the younger ones eat less at this point

I've been using this feeding chart since I got Pumpkin. It was what came recommended on the corn snake forum. Tomorrow will be 11 days since he ate last and he was 5 grams when I got him.

 

[wvloony]

I dont know, mines being stubborn also, i just figure it will eat when its ready

I have a list of tricks to try from a local breeder. Some seem so crazy, but are proven to work sometimes. Like washing the food in dish liquid to get rid of the mouse smell because apparently sometimes babies are turned off by the smell of mice

 

[wvloony]

I will try that one the next time i try to feed mine, maybe it will work

This is the list I have of stuff to try

Spoiler

Try these first two, in this order, before anything else. I recommend feeding in a very small deli-cup, with the cup covered so the snake can't see out, in the evening.

** Boiled (not just super-hot)
** Original Ivory Dish Liquid

* Live Pink (do not slit or brain- do feed to another snake if not taken after 24 hours)
* Chicken Fat
* Chicken Bouillon
* KFC Chicken Fat
* Raw Chicken juice
* Dawn Blue Liquid
* Joy Liquid
* Slit/brained
* Rat-scented
* F/T Rat-Brain-scented
* Bird-scented
* Anole-scented
* Mediterranean Gecko-scented
* Tuna-scented
* Live Guppy-scented
* Washed and rinsed
* Turtle Food-scented
* Hot Dog juice-scented
* Dirty Mouse Bedding-scented
* Different Mouse Source!
*Washed with Windex, then rinsed
*
* After trying everything, cycle through boiled, Ivory, chicken fat, Dawn again

***************
* Feed in deli cup, covered up
* Feed in small closed paper bag
* Feed overnight in viv
* Remove water dish for 24-48 hours, then feed hot, wet pink
* Feed on top of a running washing machine (don't let the container fall off!)
* Feed after a ride in the car
* Ship to someone else for feeding
* Skip a meal- let it get hungry (if you are tease feeding)
* Feed during a thunderstorm- also works for Western hognose

 

[wvloony]

Wow, seems like a whole lot of work, when i find just letting them get hungry works for ours, nagini went thru a bout of not wanting to eat, but she is just a finiky snake at times, i think worf eats different cause hes wild bred, so he has a different cycle

With zero videos....I'm thinking this is a planted thing to add "credibility" to the antz "think of the children!" ploy
