A 2009 won't be a hatchling, it will be well on its way to full sized. What does your snake weigh?
Do the fuzzies leave a noticeable lump in the snakes stomach? |

| My 2009 corns are all on large mice now weekly but it depends on the individual snakes size really. |

| The prey item AKA mouse should be about 1.5 times the size of the snake at the snakes biggest point. So have a look at your snake, find its fattest point and either wrap a piece of string around if you want to be precise or just compare in relation to fingers/thumbs etc which is what I did and then when your at the pet store just ask to see the small and medium mice. If 2 Fuzzies are not leaving any sort of lump you'll be fine with small mice and possibly even mediums, try a few smalls first, see how she gets on and be prepared for a growth spurt. |

| I always feed my lot every 7 days. Until they hit full adult size I'd say thats fine. |
