Can she eat this?

I have a cornsnake baby - born July '03. Can she feed on anoles? I just started a job over at Petsmart and want to find if she'll handle these well. I have read somewhere that they can eat them, but are there any disadvantages or advantages to this?

Also, how long can cornsnakes go without eating without significant problems? It's just that last Friday I did not feed her because I have a new job, and I won't get paid 'til next Friday.
 
It is not too good of an idea to feed them anoles.
Reason?
1) They might get addicted to it and guess what? The price of an anole is much higher than a pinky mouse
2) They have less nutrients that are required with corn snakes
3) Since you said yours is a 03 hatchling, it would be quite hard to find a baby anole that is good size for your corn to eat in Pets Mart....don't they usually sell bigger ones?
4) they might carry parasites with the anole and pass it on to your corn. You never know..

Skipping a meal or two isn't going to kill them. But try and not to skip too many meals. They need the nutrient to grow. If you offer them food and they don't take it is one thing, not offering them food is another thing. So try not to skip as much as possible~
 
This is one of those rare occasions where I cannot feed her, I also called the local pet store and they're out of pinkies til tomorrow. Just wanted to find out if she could last another day w/o her food.

Thanx tho!
