Its been a few months since ive been back here since then i have aquired quite a few non corn snake animals and decided it was due time for another corn.
I just need some help with an ID on this little guy and any ideas on what to feed him....he way too small for pinkies.

I'm not sure what that is, but he looks like he could eat day old pinks (rubys). If you can't get those, just feed regular pink heads or pinks cut in half or thirds until he is big enough to eat one whole. How much does he weigh?
 
Isn't that the milksnake speicies that looks like a corn a lot? The Eastern I think?

edit; google for "eastern milk snake hatchling" and then pictures, I'm pretty sure he is :)
 
The first thing that went through my mind as soon as I saw the first pic was "San Luis Potosi king", but that changed when I saw the second pic to hybrid corn X San Luis Potosi king or Eastern milk or a combo of a variety.
 
SLP is a tri-color, though. That snake looks brown/black and tan/grey to me. Bi-color.
 
he does look alot like an eastern milk. His belly has no marks untill about halfway where it is checkerd like my other corn.
 
I may be wrong but from the pics and judging his size from them he looks like he could take pinks with no problem. And my guess is eastern milk as well. I got some corn hatchlings in a while back that were teeny tiny and they took pinks with no problem. what ever it is good luck with it.
 
Looks like an Eastern Milksnake. Also looks like he could handle a pinky just fine...
 
yep, also voting on the PINKS for sure! we have 6gram hatchlings taking down small pinkies with gusto, i wouldn't worry about it.

no idea on the snake ID, though.
 
Yup much to my surprise he took the pinkie no problem today, i was just worried b/c any pinkie i could find was still bigger then the biggest part of the snake. But like i said he took it down no issues, Thanks for all the help. I was also wondering if their bellies are usually half and half like i said? ill get a picture when hes done digesting.

A snake can eat food that is up to 1 and 1/2 the size of its body.

As far as Eastern Milk's bellies go.. I have no idea. Sometimes Corns have aberrantly checkered bellies and the upper half of their bellies are very sparsely checkered.. sometimes there are very few checkered at all on say a het Diffused animal.

I hope you are not confused though.. your snake is not a Corn. If there is any corn blood in there, it's definitely mixed with something else.
 
I understand its not a corn, no worries. i was just wondering b/c they are so similar. But thanks for all the help.
