New to forum, and have a new corn snake

[MrPower]

hello everyone!
My name is joe power, user name MrPower.
im from alberta canada and have been into keeping reptiles for quite some years now. Im very good at it and enjoy it much. a friend of mine recently bought an almost adult amel corn off a seller and iv been over there handling and enjoying the company of his corn snake for a few weeks. so i desided to purchase my own because i liked his corn so much.

I purchased a little baby ghost corn from my local pet shop. it is a great little snake for sure. Me and my friend thought it would be funny to name him orvil redenbacher lol. cuz hes a dorn snale and hes poppin. Here, poppin means very cool lol.

I have a simple question for all you great people here, iv been reading tis forum for some rime now and i like how polite everyone is here, not like a motocross forum at all lol.

My question is.....whats a good feeding meathod that well reduce me ruining my mice. my mehod right now is to unthaw a frozen pinky during the day in a container, and my evening when the lights go out i place it in a food dish in the tank. my first feeding was last week when i done the same thing and he came out and ate it within an hour. so five days have past and i done the same. i seen the snake out around the dish yesderday evening but this morning it has not been eatten.

now 2 a few things come in mind for me. first im glad he took the food 5 days ago because i noly had him a couple days then and i was hopping he would eat to show hes not stressed. also it could be that where im new to snakes 5 days seems like a long time to me but in fact he might just not be hungry yet. also i was thinking about just lifting his hide and holding the mouse up next to him to see if he just didnt find it last night. and lastly since the mouse has been out of the freezer now for 24 hours i should probably just throw it out.

since im new to the site im sorry if this is a long post, but i like to give all the info i can right away so people dont have to ask a bunch of questions before they can answer. so any info, comments are great. or if anyone catches me doing somthing wrong feel free to tell me. this is my first snake so i have things to learn.

thanks
sincerely joe power
