First time feeding my new baby Corn Snake Strangles. I was kinda nervous about it because I wasn't sure I was doing it right, but as soon as the novelty of the new feeding cage wore off, he dived in and just did it. I guess thats a good sign.
I had left the frozen fetal rat in the cage for about 4 or 5 hours, to thaw it to room temperature.
The last pictures are bad quality because my camera is not great in low light, and it is a plastic cage, so there is a lot more distortion than with glass.
The top picture is a full view of the feeding cage I bought for him. Its about a foot in diameter (I think). I got a circular one because I figured it would be harder for him to burrow under the Zilla Terrarium liner I bought if there were no corners.
The feeding went great. After a few minutes of exploring, he got bored or finally smelled the fetal rat and just opened his mouth and ate it. It was kind of an anti-climax. I was expecting him to wrap coils around it and have a big production. But I guess its a good thing that he didnt take forever to eat it.
