 How much should a baby corn be handled?

I have two snow corn snakes, Marukka and Loa. I have had Marukka about a month and Loa about a week. They are both from the same litter and are about 6 months old. They are both still shy. How often and for how long should I be handling them? I haven’t been handling them at all for two days after they eat. Other than that I handle them about 10 minutes a day. Also; I’ve been feeding them just one frozen-then-thawed pinky each once a week which they gobble down immediately. Should I been feeding them two pinkies each? How do you know if you’re feeding them too much or not enough?

Hi there Sssnakegirl I think the time you spent with your pets is just fine, I also would think that it is not a good thing to handle them after eating. The older they get the more pinky’s they would eat. Personally I would say they won’t go for a second one if they are not hungry enough but that my own feeling maybe someone could help Sssnakegirl with some information.

Dont hanle them for about 48 hours after feeding. Other than that, handle them a couple times a day, no more than about 20 min at the time. The more you handle them, the tamer they’ll be. Also, if they seem really shy, it’s b/c they’re babies. Corns usually tame down a lot around 1 to 2 years of age. As for how much to feed them, at 6 months they should definitely be large enough to eat 2 pinkies a week. I cant see them so i can say for sure, but they may be big enough to eat fuzzies which are more healthy for them. You want to feed them something that is 1 to 1.5 the diameter of their body. In other words, food item should make a lil bulge in their belly. Good luck, they’ll be wonderful pets.
