What to eat small snakes?
Stained water spots are very small when they
are born and therefore need a small meal. When they are babies, the ideal food
for them is a newborn mouse or a "little finger". Regardless of the
size of your food, whatever your age, the best food is to give it something the
same size as the thickest part of your body. Then, if the widest part of your
snake is the diameter of a dime, a mouse of this diameter will be perfect. Do
not worry about the size of the snake's head, because when they eat, their jaws
break and they can swallow objects much larger than their heads. Most snakes
eat happy mice all their lives. A small snake starts in small mice and, as they
grow, they can start taking larger mice. I feed my adult mice two adult mice
every 7 to 10 days. A baby with horns should have a mouse every 5-7 days.
One caveat: some pet stores do not always have
people who know the snake, even if they sell it. I tried to ask the
"reptile specialists" to feed a very small snake, like a small
cornea, and they told me many things, almost all incorrect. I've heard some ugly
advice like "they're too small to eat mice, so you have to feed them
crickets." Never put crickets or other insects in your terrarium. First,
the snake does not eat them, they do not eat them in nature and it is not
different in captivity. In any case, the crickets eventually eat the snake.
I've heard too many horror stories about people who listen to advice like this,
who put crickets in a cistern, and that the next morning there were only the
bones of the snake.

How do parents feed snakes to baby snakes?
Snakes are a precocious species, which
basically means "pre-developed". They do not need parental care after
hatching, since their ability to hunt and capture their own prey is part of
their genetics. They do not need to be fed or learned. The last yellows will
encourage them to continue immediately after birth, but they will move soon and
hunt alone. Also, snakes do not eat tiny animals. You are right to say that
they are swallowed whole, but snakes can eat animals almost as big as them,
depending on the species. For example, boa constrictors can swallow an animal
as large as a gazelle or a deer (they are large snakes to handle such large
prey). They can do this because they can separate their jaws, leaving their
mouth open to swallow an animal wider than themselves. His lower jaw is not
welded either, which allows the mouth to open even wider.
