Animal Name:	Snowball
Reference Code:	Foster hatchling #2
Species:	Common Corn Snake Elaphe guttata guttata
Sex:	Male
Comments:	Snowball and sibling Sunrise were hatchlings at a local, privately-owned pet store that specializes in reptiles. The owner was having difficulty as these two hatchlings would not eat. He forcefed them once, but didn't want to continue doing so for fear of harming them. I volunteered to take them in and see what I could do. Snowball initially accepted boiled pinkies, but did on occasion refuse offered food. I found I had to give him more time between meals than his brother. Occasionally rubbing the pinkie against the skin of a fence lizard helped encourage feeding. Eventually, he accept all pinkies offered in the normal frozen-reheated method. Once he reached a healthy weight, the store gave him to us in their gratitude to sell or keep and he was sold to a friend of my son's.
