what weight would you start to feed a corn seven days instead of five?

I would move her up WS, when they can manage 2 fluffs each.

when you don't see them out looking for food till 5 or 6 days after their previous meal, i always leave them a day hunting and active so they exercise themselves and get mental and physical stimulaton.

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

I've always fed, waited whilst they poo, left it a couple of days and then fed again. I try to stick to the prey item being 1 - 1.5x the width of the snakes body.

At the moment it means I feed Monty a jumbo mouse every 10 days ish.
