Had second thoughts about clicking on this thread with a title like that but with it being in GD it couldn't have been that bad

every snake does mate they cant chew there food, try holdin the mouse by the tail when he strikes for it dont let go you can actually feel him constrict the mouse, you would not believe there strength for a small snake, i have had about 15 corns over the years all diff colour 1s mainly keep lizards now though, chameleons, iguanas, frilled dragons, they got more character, iguana comes out in the feista sometimes.

yeah mate you would be surprised how easy it is for a snake to dissapear
in a house can get through the smallest of gaps in a skirting board, floor board only came out coz he was hungry they go into hibernation and stay there for up to a year in some cases lol.

na a hungry snake can be an aggressive snake and a corn snake can give you quite a nasty bite for a small snake, i got bit by a emerald tree boa on my hand and it severed the tendons in my thumb was in agony for 6 weeks, when i managed to get it of my thumb all 100 or so teeth it bit my leg, had a dead leg for a few days and a bruise like i had been hit by a cricket bat lol.

read in the paper before that a woman woke up with a 12ft burmeese python in her bed, very lucky woman coz if a snake that big gets round your neck or chest its night night, but a 6ft python could kill a young or old person a fit adult could get it off themselves but it would not be easy.

a snake that size would eat fully grown mice or any rodents about the same size, would manage rat pups but not a fully grow rat, i know i guy that buys still born piglets to feed his reticulated python but thats about 21ft long and weighs about 19 stone, its a BIG snake that commands a lot of respect when going into its room, never on your own or without the macchette lol.
