Can you feed a Corn Snake crickets?


Answers:
*No! It has to be mice, they can not live on crickets.
Have a look at this site.

NO I WAS READING ONLINE DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!HE SAID THAT WAS REALLY STUPID TO ASK CORN SNAKES
CAN NOT HAVE CRICKETS!!!!
I highly doubt that...
Go to a pet store and ask for baby frozen mice or live baby mice...
that is what they eat
I keep corn snakes and a general rule of thumb is to not feed food items greater in size than 1.5 times the diameter of the thickest part of the snake. Feed one suitable sized item (mouse, rat etc.)once a week and do not handle the following day. Allow the snake to digest the food. If there is not sufficient heat in the tank, the snake will not be able to digest the food item properly and may regurgitate it. It will also do this if the food is too big. I tend to feed frozen food items bought from the shop (captive bred so they have no parasites or disease). Thaw out prior to feeding, also no risk of food item injuring snake (mouse bites etc.)
Go to snake web sites and try and find out what snake it is and find a relevant care sheet. Try http://www.petsnakes.co.uk/gallery/galle...
This site has helped me out no end over the years, the guy is also very helpful when asked a question.
