Awesome snake!! My only question...why not a live mouse?? I never liked feeding my python dead mice...I always felt like it went against his instinct!

Cool Shots though!

Isn't caging them and keeping them as pets worse then not feeding them live? All my snakes get F/T mice/rats since my friend had a snake die from a mouse bite that got infected on his snake from feeding live.

Beautiful snake

Beautiful snake

Sure, if you are keeping them in a fish tank...The cage for my snake was huge...I don't think it was ever an issue!

I can't believe that it is illegal in Ireland to feed a snake a Live mouse! Thats crazy!

Nice shots. I would prefer frozen mice myself since it 's much safer for the snake.

I love corn snakes. I caught one recently climbing the spokes of my bike in the garage. I caught him and released him in the far back yard.

Cool photos. I only feed our carpet pythons dead rats and chickens, it's pretty exxy $$ at the Herp vet if your snake gets an infection from a rat bite.
Besides I can't bare to hear a rat being strangled by a 9 foot carpet snake.

"Stevie Ray" as in Steve Irwin being killed by a Sting Ray ? One of my snakes is called "CRIKEY" RIP Steve Irwin :(

More likely Stevie Ray as in Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar legend!

Nice pictures, 3rd is definately my favourite, you can almost imagine the mouse is going "oh noes!!"

I didn't think people kept corn snakes as pets. I had a three footer sneak into my house the other evening. It was trying to get in out of the cold. I caught him and took him back out to the woods. They are really neat looking and boy is it easy to piss them off. I got bit twice while trying to catch him.

Corn snakes are by far the most popular pet snake. They are easy to care for and are very docile when you raise them in captivity.

Nice little buttmuncher you have there :) If you can, next time he eats his mouse backwards try to get a shot of it when the mouse is about to go down his throat. It looks like a mouse wearing a snake disguise. :lol:

Here's a pic of mine, she's only a little over a year old :)
