hi everyone, inherited our first corn snake from a family member last month. We have a snow corn named Bubbles. so far so good, she is approx 2foot long and eating 1 fuzzy every 5 days although I think we may have to increase this soon. Bubbles is about 10 to 11 months old.
amazing site you have. |

Gave bubbles 2 fuzzies for dinner tonight and she loved them. She eats really fast. Both down the hatch in less than 5 mins lol. She is now snuggled up in her little cave to digest her feast. |

Lol I'll feed her 2 fuzzes every 7 days until food runs out and then move up to all mice then. Thanks for your help. |

Thanks lupi Lou. I've seen it else where in the forum that it should be 1 and 1/2 time the size of the head not the body. That's why I'm confused. |

general rule is prey 1 1/2 size of the widest part of the body. you'll be amazed what they can get get in their mouths! 8 weighs 63g and is taking a small mouse every 7 days. when i first offered a small it worried me but he wasn't bothered in the slightest. |

Thanks scottishbluebird. Im a bit reluctant to go up in size of mouse. I'm worried her mouth is not big enough which was why I was thinking of trying 2 fuzzies. Should the size of food b judged by the snakes head or body size? There seems to be both answers on the forum. |

Try a small mouse every 7 days, if not good enough try a medium |

Thanks everyone. Just fed bubbles and checked her weight. She is 105g and just over 2 foot long. If we increase her feed from one fuzzy to 2 fuzziness will we need to go from feeding every 5 days to every 7? She is always looking for more food after feeding and never seems to have a bump. |
