I read that hatchling corn snakes will feed on anoles and small frogs?

Is this true?

If so, can I feed small african clawed frogs as well as pinkies?
 
not at all, baby corn'z need to chill for the first couple days, then feed them pinky'z or hoppers, the baby mice once they get there hair n hop around like idiots. but yeah u can mess up the digestive track of your baby corns.
 
Sure, I'll post a pic as soon as I get home...

Local shops here are okay...pinkies cost like 6 HKD (Less than 1 USD) I don't think they have hoppers...just slightly furry pinkies...or are those hoppers?

Most herp livestock come from like the US though, unlike freshwater and saltwater fish which are so very cheap here. A hatchling corn snake costs (in USD) $65 for a amel motley and $74 for a lavendar. Tiger sals cost $80 something...

There is an amazing street (loads of blocks long) that specializes in selling aquarium equipment and fish...I used to be unable to find any reptiles because I only looked at the ground level shops but once I started going up into the buildings where the reptiles were located I found the more exotic stuff...skinks, more expensive non asian caudates, chameleons, tegus, geckos etc...

Lots of the shops that I chat with stopped ccarrying snakes because it wasn't profitable. Ball pythons cost around $36 here.

Pinkies with hair are called fuzzies .

Yes the fish selection there is fantastic. I have a friend in pharmacy industry who travels and has shown me great pics of shops there and outside markets.

Its a fish lovers dream and exotic fish not just run of the mill . Its known for fish.

Thats why I asked about pinkies,etc for sale as have never seen reptile pics from him.

The prices there for corns aren't bad .

Thanks
