I was just wondering if there is a special food or treat I can give my corn snake. All he eats is frozen pinkies and I thought he might like some other kinda food every once in a while!! Any suggestions?

Snakes don't need or want "treats." Mice are perfectly good for them and snakes will happily eat mice their entire lives. To them it's just a meal; snakes aren't fussy. They can't afford to be.
By the way, corn snakes do not eat crickets. They can't digest insect matter.

Crickets are also good for them, but it's going to be hard to feed them to your snake. You can also cut up the crickets and put some mouse blood on top or inside of the pinkies (baby mice). I've had 5 snakes and that's what I used to do.
Hope this helps. Happy Holidays!

is pinkies all he is big enough for? if so, try hamster or gerbil pinkies, some snakes seem to think they taste better. supposedly, after eating one, some snakes refuse anything else. but then some snakes only like certain colors of prey items....

why do people keep saying rats. if he on pinkies then he to little for rats. when he an adult corn snake you could feed him rats or hamsters my sister feeds her corn snake chicks because they wont eat mice any more.
