If its the first time he's had a whole one I'd stick with that for a few more feeds before increasing.

I'd stick with two, corn snakes are renowned for eating anything that is put in front of them and so he probably isn't actually hungry, its just there so he will eat it. Bit like my life really lol.

i'd stick with 2 for now as well. if he's not been eating properly try feeding every 5 days to build him up then when you move onto fuzzies increase the number of days between feeds to 5-7 days
