When I got my corn snake, Myha, I was told to feed her two pink mice every five days, but when I talked to someone I met that is a snake breeder they told me that too much and too often, and that I should feed her every ten days and only one mouse otherwise she'd grow too fast and have spinal problems when she grew bigger. So I'm really not sure how much or how often I should feed her.
Myha is about two months old. |

Agree, always go by weight as they all grow at different rates. |

2 months is very young a single pink every 5-6 days should be fine. This is the feeding guide I was given by Okeetee Mick when I started on here:
Single pinks 6 days Snake = 4-15g
Large pinks (2pink) 7 days Snake = 16-25g
Fuzz (5-6g) 7 days Snake = 26-40g
Small (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 41-80g
Small x 2 (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 80-120g
Mouse (18-20g) 7-14d days Snake = 120+g
Adult females after bromating are fed every 6-7 days.
Adult females are fed every 7 days.
Adult males are fed every 10 days.

i'd go with one pinky every 5 days, hatchies (birth-1yr) are normally fed evry 5-7 days, 10 days is too far apart at her age i think |

I would have thought at 2 months 1 pinkie is enough but it depends on her size. Can you post the size and weight of myha? |
