iv got 2 corns, have had them 1 year and nearly 3 months, i THINK they were about 7 weeks old when we got them. we were feeding them 1 pinky per week, until a couple of months ago,when we went up to fluffs, but i have been reading tons of posts on here, and am seeing people saying 2 fluffs every week? or once every 5 days, etc. i understand that the feed should be no bigger than 1.5 times the widest part of the snake. mine are probably about 1.5 cms thick, almost 2 foot long. there on 1 fluff a week, they eat fairly quickly and the bulge is there but no overly significant. should i upgrade?? thanks

I think you should be able to upgrade them, see if they take it which I'm sure they will

2 fluffs every week what I feed mine and then if they do not take it, try what you normally feed them a week for a few more weeks.

you should be ok,people usaly feed two fluffs to prepare the snake for larger prey.If your not seeing much of a lump start giving 2 for a while then move up 1 of the next size up every 5-7 days

fed mine on wednesday got him out today for first after feed, very cloudy eyes but was very calm with me although he did a huge poo over my joggers and hoodie suprising really that a small snakey produces that much crap!

So he's pooed out his mouse and getting a bit stressy because he's in shed so will leave him a few days.

I'm guessing monday will be shed day but I'm in africa and Dad's home so will not see him
