Any thing else than mice?

Guys I was just wondering if any of you fed your corn something else than mice. Maybe a lizard now and then or a baby chick. I don't know but isn't it boring for my corn to have to eat mice for the rest of her life?
Thanks everyone!
 
Well a friend of mine from work, he caught a wild cornsnake and instead of mine, he catches lizards to feed him. The snake is healthy and happy, so I guess it's safe. I just recommend KO'ing the lizard first in case it's a feisty one. :]
 
From most of the people on here, I've heard that if you feed them anything other than mice, they might get hooked on only eating lizards or eggs like you mentioned. Which may cause problems. I don't think they get "bored" with eating mice, I don't think corns have the capacity to be bored..they're fine with mice all their life. =) If anyone has anything else to add, go ahead, this is just a newbie's perspective.
 
Actually, lizards carry parasites. Wild caught snakes need to be dewormed, then fed a commercially-produced diet of mice, rats or chicks. Feeding lizards, unless it is an emergency situation and your snake is starving rather than accepting even lizard-scented mice, is just asking for a parasite problem, which will eventually cause anorexia and regurgitation.
