Do Corn Snakes eat stick insects?

Hi everybody

I have a very happy Corn Snake called Rex who is nearly 2
years old now and just over 3' long. Anyway I recently added
some (6) Indian Stick Insects to my collection and they are
doing very well too, well I have read that when its time to lay
eggs the stick insects lay about 10 a day each i.e. 60 eggs a
day in total. I don't want to have that many of them and I was
wondering if instead of safely disposing of the eggs I could let
them all hatch (I know it takes at least 3 months normally) and give
the extra ones to my corn snake as occasional treats? I know
that corns can eat most insects, but I can find nothing that actually
mentions stick insects and I don't want to make her ill. I will still
keep feeding her the mice too, I just though she might like 1 or 2
stick insects a week as a little extra bonus?

TIA

Corn snakes eat mice and other small rodents, not insects.
