Hi all, Tobasco ate a Jumbo mouse last week because his two large mice didnt seem enough any more. I am now aware that a jumbo is very large for a corn. What would you advice me to do now? Shall i feed him a large this week? Or feed him two large mice every week until his hingry? Or shall i gove him a jumbo every month and nothing else?

Thanks all meg x :)

Yes i would say jumbo every 16 _21 days corn are oppotunies eaters
Or you could end up with a fattie have you weighed him /her

How long is your snake if you know? 1 large mouse every 10-14 days is often enough for most adults corns. I occasionally give my adults corns jumbos instead of large but it is very rare. Anything more can make them easily stack on weight as adults.

thankyou, and what would you advise me to do now (regarding diet)?? xxxxxx

You have to be careful as 2 large mice on a weekly basis is a bit much and he might become over weight.

He's a good looking snake xx

Jesus, how big is he? 2 large mice is a big meal.

I would suggest a large every 10-14 days or a jumbo every 14 -20 days

Got any pics of him? Xx

I'd give 2 weeks for anything on large or jumbo feeds
meggi Posted - 04/05/2012 : 18:33:51
yes, he ate it. :) How long do you think he`ll be fine for? xx

Did he eat the jumbo mouse, if so then he is probably fine
