My corn is currently on medium mice, they go down very easy and barely leave a bulge ... Do you think its time to go on large mice

he is 14 months ... about 2.5ft and 3cm in diameter across the thickest part of his body, the mediums were hardly touching the sides anymore

how big and how old is he? none of my snakes get anything bigger than mediums

the mediums go down very easily now, he has been on them for about 6 months. Would it be worth feeding him a large less often than I would with a medium or does that defeat the object?

It does depend on how big your snake is. As hatchlings the leaving a bump bit is handy but once they hit adult size its not that simple, for example a snake verging on overweight could eat a large mouse and leave not much of a bump but it doesn't need to go up a size that would just make a fat snake even fatter.

Off to buy a large mouse today for fluffy, will upload some pics tonight of him eating :)

Thanks ... I'll buy a large this week and see how it goes, he is swallowing the mediums so fast, last week he swallowed it in about 30 secs :)
