If you’re looking for a little buddy to take care of and keep you company than you should immediately search for a pet store where you can choose from a large variety of species and colors of little(or big if you want) companions.
Or maybe you already have a pet that you love and you want to reward him with a special toy or its own little house. You can find many pet-related toys and products in the pet supply and pet stores everywhere.
If you don’t have time to wander around the city and visit all the pet stores that you can find in the search for the perfect animal or the perfect gift, now you have a much easier solution at your fingertips – visit the online pet & pet supply stores!
A large number of pet stores from all over the world have their own webpage where you can see all the animals and products they have for sale, and furthermore, you can order directly from the Internet, and your little buddy or the toys or whatever pet supplies that you want for him will come right at your doorstep.
Most of the pet stores, including the online ones sell all the pets that one may desire, from fish, little and big birds, dogs and cats of course, to snakes, lizards and hamsters.
The most wanted animals are the dogs and the cats, especially when they are young puppies and kittens.
Also, the pet supply stores sell a large variety of products that can make your animal happy, from aquariums and aquarium ornaments to plastic bones and toys and special bath tubs and cleaning kits. You will be surprised of the large number of toys and devices created for your own pet.
During the holidays many people buy more pets and toys so in those times of the year you will find many discounts and special offers.
But for some people the pet stores rise some questions like ‘What if I buy a dog for example and it will turn out to be disobedient destructive animal?’
Well most people buy good pets but in some cases clients may be unlucky and get the wrong pet. Usually, in this cases the pet stores should have a policy that states that the animal will be replaced if in a certain amount of time the owner complains about its behavior.
These problems come from the pet supply of the pet store, some pets are raised in bad conditions before going in the pet stores and being available for sale. Some pet supply stores are getting their dogs and cats from puppy mills which treat the young animals really bad and make them vulnerable to diseases and they are most likely to have an inappropriate behavior when they grow up because they need to socialize and receive affection in order to be ‘healed’ of their wounds from the farm. But as mentioned above in these cases the pet store will change your animal at the smallest signs of disobedience.
Overall problems are known to occur quite seldom and you will most likely be pleased of your acquisition and you will save precious time if you visit an online pet store where you can browse and buy all the animals and products available for sale without moving an inch from your house.

Exotic Pet Corn Snake Care Sheet: Feeding Corn Snake

Filed under Keeping Pet Snakes
Corn snakes,like all other snakes, are carnivorous. Meaning they feed only on the flesh of other animals. Corn snakes feed small rodents and sometimes lizards, although they have been known to take small birds from time to time. A pet corn snake owner, obviously, will have an easier time supplying his or her exotic pets with mice than anything else.
An active corn snake will eat every 10 days or so. It is recommended to feed your corn snake pre killed prey, especially if the snake has not been raised on live prey. A live prey may also turn on and attack a lazy snake that isn’t feeling too hungry and possibly causing severe harm to your pet corn snake.
When to feed a corn snake and how much
Hatchlings are started out with pinkie mice for feedings and as the snake grows, gradually increase the size of the prey by offering fuzzies, crews, then small adult mice or rat pinkies.
A young hatchling will eat a pinkie mice every three days or so. Gradually, as hatchling gets bigger; feed it every four, five or six days. Around the time it is getting out to six days, it will be swallowing down a pinkie in next to no time, so try it with another one just as the tail of the first one disappears. If it takes two pinkies ok, continue with this for two or three more feedings and then offer it one fuzzy instead of the two pinkies. It might look too large for you, but if the snake can swallow it without difficulty, it is not too big. If you feed too much at one feeding session, or feed a prey item that is too big, your snake won’t swallow it and will spit it out after trying. A general rule for food size is that up to 1+1?2 the snake’s body girth is acceptable.
After a several more weeks of one fuzzy, repeat the process you did with pinkies. When your corn snake swallows a fuzzy easily, then try to feed it with two. And after a few feedings with two fuzzies, try it with small adult mice. A full grown Corn snake can eat a medium to large mouse.
How to feed a corn snake
Frozen prey need to be completely thawed and warmed slightly before feeding. After thawing, place the prey on a small plastic dish and place the dish in the cage and leave the snake to it. If the snake won’t eat it after few hours, then remove it and throw it away.
Some snakes like their prey “jiggled” in front of them. To do this, pick the prey up by the tail with tongs (no sharp, pointy ends), and hold the prey in front of the snake for the snake to strike at.
Pet snakes that have refused to feed more than 2 times can be enticed into feeding by having the prey item slightly warmed, either by a heat lamp or soaked in warm water a few minutes before feeding. Don’t put it in a microwave, as they can explode. Another trick to try is “braining”, where you pierce the head of the prey with a knife point and liquid from the head exposed with forceps or tweezers. The smell of the liquid will entice your exotic pet corn snake to feed.
