Hello, for everyone who does not know him. Cyril is my 10 year old corn. He is being fed 2x Large Mice and 1x Medium mouse each feed. He takes these without a problem!

This Video is him eating the Medium Mouse

no worries xx

Okay, i will start to feed him less. I can see what you mean, thank you :)

Agree with Mamma. Serious over feeding going on.
Mamma Posted - 03/11/2011 : 14:23:34
You can feed them 2 mice once a fortnight if you like. My adults get one mouse a fortnight and are healthy weights. 2 large and 1 medium a week is far far too much.

Corns are opportunists. They will eat as long as you keep shoving food in their face. Not healthy for them.

"one every 5-6 days and graduate up to an adult mouse every 7-14 days as they grow. Very large snakes may require 2 adult mice per feed." This is quoted from the Corn Snake Care Sheet under Feeding.

Many books say they will eat until they choose not to as well.

Thank you Mamma, i will keep a close eye on this. I will look up about their feeds again.
Mamma Posted - 03/11/2011 : 14:09:05
too much. Far too much. Adult corns eat one large mouse a fortnight. You risk making the snake obese. xx


EDIT: no pet shop I know would recomend over feeding like that
Rawr Posted - 03/11/2011 : 14:06:41
Ever pet store we have taken him to says he should be feeding on 5 large mice. Which we though was a bit over the top.
Rawr Posted - 03/11/2011 : 14:05:35
Once every week, I'm thinking of spacing it out a bit more. But im reluctant to as he just eats them without a problem.
Mamma Posted - 03/11/2011 : 13:50:16
how often are you feedin him this amount?
Simmy_82 Posted - 03/11/2011 : 13:40:41
Is that not a bit much to be feeding him?
