My 2009 hatchling is on 2 fuzzies a week, i was just wondering at what point do i progress from this to once a week? and also do i stay with a fuzzie, or move to adult mice?

I always feed my lot every 7 days. Until they hit full adult size I'd say thats fine. |

The prey item AKA mouse should be about 1.5 times the size of the snake at the snakes biggest point. So have a look at your snake, find its fattest point and either wrap a piece of string around if you want to be precise or just compare in relation to fingers/thumbs etc which is what I did and then when your at the pet store just ask to see the small and medium mice. If 2 Fuzzies are not leaving any sort of lump you'll be fine with small mice and possibly even mediums, try a few smalls first, see how she gets on and be prepared for a growth spurt. |

No i know shes not a hatchling now, i was just stating that she was a 2009 hatchling =)... im not sure what she weighs but shes about 2ft.. i only got her about 2 weeks ago, and the man in the shop said to feed her 2 fuzzies a week.. but never said when to progress from this...
thanks for ure help =) |

My 2009 corns are all on large mice now weekly but it depends on the individual snakes size really. |

A 2009 won't be a hatchling, it will be well on its way to full sized. What does your snake weigh?
Do the fuzzies leave a noticeable lump in the snakes stomach? |
