How often do Corn Snakes need fed as hatchlings?
How often as yearlings?
Any other changes?
Also, I understand they eat pinkies when young, so does it change when they are adults to adult mice etc? |

that's just a rough guide though as they're all individuals with different growth rates, i breed the females so they obviously need more food, non-breeders won't need as much food, a skinny snake will need feeding small prey items more regularly, a fat one smaller items less frequently
your average non-breeding corn will probably take a regular mouse every week |

hatchlings can be fed every 5 - 7 days every 7 days for yearlings. Mouse size will grow as your snake grows sowill be from pinkies to XL mice |

i feed youngsters every 5-7 days move them up a size as soon as the next size up is no wider that 1.5 times the snake's width at it's widest point, basically ignore the snake's head size
i keep to a weekly schedule as yearling by which time they're usually on small mice
at about 2 years old they're fed every week if female and every 10-14 days if they're male and they stay on this feeding schedule increasing the mouse-size as above ^^ |
