I was walking about my house when I saw this baby corn snake. I think its a baby corn snake, but there isnt any corn around my place. Maybe he/she just wanted to stop by my window to say hi.

corn snakes dont actually EAT corn.

They just hang around the stalks and say "yo, whassup?" to passing field mice and other rodents and then have dinner with them.

 

[Psycho18]

That little snake can eat mice and other rodents?

 

[slag]

yes, their jaws expand to swallow large objects, plus, mice actually compress down pretty small.

You mean... they can dislocate their jaws?!

Like almost every other snake on the planet?!? NO WAY!

They don't really dislocate. They more like open 180degree and their mouth is more hold together by skin instead of bone. So it's more flexible and yes it can stretch out to eat bigger object then itself.

Yep, that looks like a baby corn snake. He is probably just basking happily away on that brick window sill. He'll go on his way and catch and eat small rodents for you. Keep him around!

whats a jaw?

 

[Sundog]

Quote:

The quadrate bone works like a double-jointed hinge. That is, the lower jaw dislocates from the upper jaw, allowing snakes to open their jaw up to 150 degrees (ours can open only 45 degrees). Also, the front portion of the lower jaws can separate, and the quadrate bone hinge allows the lower jaws to swing apart. The snake resets its jaws by yawning-like movements. Some snakes (e.g., blindsnakes) which cannot dislocate their jaws can eat only small prey.



Link to how snakes eat

YUMMY!

 

[MacBaine]

In the wild, snakes rarely fight over food (though they do fight over mates). It can be dangerous to steal each other's food: one captive snake swallowed another snake because they were both swallowing the same prey from either end. One snake got swallowed together with the prey.

hahahaha that's wicked sweet

When I moved into my apartment in Oklahoma, there was a baby rattlesnake in residence - D'oh!

 

[Psycho18]

I'd like to keep it as a pet in my room but my mother freaked out and said no.

I have a friend who can partially dislocate his jaw. It's weird, it'll open all the way then "click" open another half inch or so.

Corn snakes are cool, be sure not to hurt it.

it's actually an abnormality that can be treated with a few weeks of physical therapy. my wife was like that too and now she is cured.
