They aren't a natural part of the corn snakes diet. I would be worried with the mantis hurting the corn snake, as they can do some damage to the eyes or scales. Locusts sound good to me. _________________ The only difference between the animal and the human, are the letters that they are spelled with.   Jack Top Contributor Joined : 23 Feb 2008 Posts : 116 Location : Scotland Subject: Re: Locusts   Sat Feb 23, 2008 7:05 pm i thin hes thinkin for more as a pet   Everything Animal Admin Joined : 28 Jan 2008 Posts : 745 Location : U.K, Wiltshire Subject: Re: Locusts   Sat Feb 23, 2008 7:05 pm i would only feed locust to my corn, the mantis would be like a pet, "sweet little mantis" _________________   Blue Forum Manager Joined : 31 Jan 2008 Posts : 165 Location : Illinois Subject: Re: Locusts   Sat Feb 23, 2008 7:07 pm Ahhhh, never mind then.
