I just got my new corn baby yesterday after a four year corn snake break. (What can I say? I can't give them up.)
He (or she) was the only one left in the store, and he's the youngest one I've ever had. I got him anyway because he was coincidentally the color I was hoping to find. I asked the store manager what they feed something so small like that and she said "mouse tails".
When I brought him home, I noticed that when he tried to move, about an inch down, he was very stiff. I've been shrugging it off as the mouse tail digesting because he was last fed Sunday. He hasn't been acting like he's in pain either, and he can curl his tail and rattle it just fine.
Right now, the only way he moves is by "pulling" himself with his head and the upper inch of his body. He also likes to put himself into knots that he finds impossible to wriggle out of and sometimes ends up flipping onto his side or back. This makes me worry if he can even get to his water.
Is he defective or is it his last meal keeping him from getting around?
