Hi, I have a 4 month old Corn snake who I have fed one pinky every 5 days. He takes the food staright away, no problem. I would have thought at 6 months 2 pinkys would be OK about weekly. I have read that 2 pinkies may be better than 1 fluff initially.

If fi fi is only 6 months then what you are feeding her should be fine for the moment. In general they eat less frequently when they get older, so you could try moving her up to the next mouse size and still keeping it at a week.

my first corn had a pinky every 4-7 days, you'll get to now when they want food when they go 'hunting'. then try 2 pinkies and so on as they grow..
