So here is the dilema... My roomate has 2 bearded dragons, that are not so happily living together. One is outgrowing the other and has begun to beat the crap out of ths smaller one.. he has bit off nearly his entire tail...

Now I have a corn snake that is of good enough size to eat the smaller bearded dragon.... I know corn snakes eat lizards in the wild, but would something spiny like a bearded dragon be alright? My snake is approx 3' long and about as big a round as a nickle and the bearded dragon is not very big at all!

So what do you think guys, should the beardie be snake food?
 
NO!!! Are you nuts....Just see if a pet store will take it...Bearded Dragons are a great pet...To kill it like that, well, I think its murder!!!

Yes I understand that, but like I said its my roomates lizard and this is what he wants to do.. I just want to know if I should be worried about my snake if we do it.

I'm glad you didn't go overboard...... :ROFL:

I don't think it's murder....it's an animal.... but I still don't think you should feed it to the snake..... ship it to me!

I had a corn snake .... we called him snake.

Can't figure out how to covert the pic into the proper file type so here is the website with it's pic.

Nice snake!! It looks like a bigger version of mine! Same coloring/markings and everything!!

Now I realize that feeding the lizard isnt going to be popular but like I said its what he wants done, and it is his lizard after all... so back to the point, can my snake safely do this?
 
Mine could eat a lot of things but a beared dragon would worry me..... it would have to go in head first so the spines don't tear the snake up on the way down and if it reguritated the lizard it might get stuck or really tear up the snake on the inside.

I would shy away from this if your buddy really wants to see the snake eat a lizard trade the dragon for 1or2 smaller smoother lizards.

The spines worry me too...I have no doubt that the snake would make quick work of it, but the spines might be another story....

I know...But I am such an animal lover...lol...
 
Something needs to happen with this lizard soon because he is in very bad shape... I doubt any petstore would take it at this point
 
Try your local vet clinic...Some of them actually take reptiles...Or an animal shelter, they take some pretty weird things in...

But feeding it to a snake...I would worry about the spines too...It has those spines for a reason...To make it less appealing to a predator.
