| Hi, my corn snake is approximately four months old, I have been feeding him one pinky every 5 days. He is eating them so quickly now and they arent leaving any lump in his body. i dont think he is ready to take a larger sized mouse, but maybe i could start giving him 2 pinkies every feed. Is this wise? All opinions welcome. Cheers, Jonny |

Giving him two will be fine. You could also ask your supplier if they have any large pinkies he could try or small fluffs/fuzzies (or whatever your supplier calls the next size up)
If he takes two without any problems then you could go up a size once you've used up his pinkie suppy.  |
