My almost 100 gram, 2 foot , just-turned-2 year old corn ate a whole litter of 9 fuzzy babies 2 weeks ago! And today she powered down 1 young adult mouse! Jeez!

Really? Ya! I thought she would stay small, although when I bought her she she was like less then a foot and weighed 13 grams! Now she’s about to be 100grams and over 2 feet!

I have noticed some of our snakes are really active to like they are hungry. We usually feed our adult corn snake 1 xl lg mouse its the size of a rat so we feed every 2 weeks. We had another snake that would not eat so we fed him again less than a week later and he is still crawling around like he is looking for food. Then we have a sand boa who has been eating like crazy she usually stays buried but the past week she has been out almost everyday. We live in Mi but its unusually warm here. Maybe they sense that. My corn is a boy and the sand boa is a girl I thought they had different eating habits.

Oh, sorry. I hope there ok. BTW I’m treating my mice with Ivermectin, it’s iver-on pour on for cattle, diluted 1-5 with water. Can Ano eat a mouse that HAS been treated with that?

Why are you treating the mice for parasites? I saw that on the other forum , who said you have pinworm or anything else?

I am not sure about the snake eating the mouse...I know I have treated snakes for mites with the same products. Sprayed on the snake externally. But internally ...never tried that as they say it is toxic to inject and advised against.
The amounts you are using sound small....it’s up to you. But I might just wait until treatment is over and a few weeks have passed.

So are you using it as a 1 time treatment? or multiple days?

Directly on the fur? or in the drinking water?
