Saw my first corn snake/not a question

Went to a few pet stores yesterday just to check out supplies for a viv, feeder mice prices etc. etc. Well at one of the pet stores they had half a dozen or so hatchlings. I've seen several pics but until i saw them in "real" life i just couldn't believe how tiny they are. (i'm quite confident i've used nitecrawlers as bait that were bigger than these guys:))

The fact that something that size can even eat a pinkie amazes me. Several people have recently been saying how they didn't think that they could move their corns onto larger feed, but once they did saw fast growth spurts. Besides the 1 -1.5x largest part of snakes body and all, just remember how big the food was to them as a hatchling.

Sorry for the ramblings..............:D

tender and tasty...

Corn snakes are tiny creatures when born, downright bite size they are,
i.e. in their natural range, many birds and other local indigenous critters are hatching out/ birthing babies at all about the same time and the whole natural food chain thing "happens".

It's natures way...
Some critters are just destined to be breakfast in the wild.

Your right, some adult Nightcrawler type earthworms can be longer than many baby corns are.
Hope you enjoy your new hobby. :)
