alright thanx will get sone large mice and feed every other week, are jumbo mice to big for a 4.5ft corn?

it's up to you really.......i think it's more natural to feed fortnightly.
snakes haven't evolved to be digesting food all the time, they're more likely to be fit and health (IMO) when fed a larger meal less frequently

the exception is with breeding females that need much more energy and nutrition to produce and lay eggs

for an adult male i'd feed him a large or XL mouse fortnightly but monitor his weight monthly for any loss or gain



thanks ive been feeding a med mouse every week - so i should up the size and feed every 2 weeks? which is better

Could go off his food too so don't be surprised if he does. All normal.
