I fed my new corn for the first time today and the breeder said to give just the 1,it swallowed it in no time at all and then started searching again.If i offer 2 next time is it possible to over feed or will it just refuse it if it's had enough.Its about 16 weeks old.

Corns can get obese if fed too much, but it's usually in adulthood when their growth slows down. She'll not refuse it- corns are like Mary Poppin's bag- they fit anything in

offer 2 but increase the number of days between feeds to 6-7 days, when he's happily eating 2-3 pinkies per meal it's time to move up to fuzzies (providing they're not more that 1.5 x the width of the snakes body) hope this helps
