I have a 5 month old ghost corn and he is switching over from eating 3 pinkies at a feeding, to eating 1 fuzzy every three days. He weighs 46 grams. Is this a good size and is he eating properly? Hope you can give me an idea if this is normal. Pics coming soon.

I would feed 1x fuzzy every 7 days. Your snake is a good weight for its age. Feeding 3 days at a time is not giving the snake enough time to digest meals properly and the snake ends up continuously digesting. xx

However, 3 days is a nono, he'll be constantly digesting, which is not good for him! Every 7 days is much more appropriate, though some may say every 5 days.

When I fed fuzzie it was every 6 days. It takes over that for them to digest fully. As people have had regurges 4 days later. One fuzzie evr 6 - 7 is a lot healthier. X

1 fuzzy every 3 days is quite a lot i have a snow about the same size that is now on 1 fuzzy a week i think it takes about 2 days for them to digest after eating so feeding the day after that seams a bit much i would go for feeding 1 fuzzy a week till he want 2 of them im sure there will be more and prob better answers soon xx
