I fed my new corn for the 1st time the other day (1st time ive fed any type of snake) As noted in the prev posts I bought her at a year and a half old from a friend who couldnt keep her anymore. I fed her 1 large mouse but the friend I got her off suggested maybe trying her with 2 next time.
I just wanted some advice on what you guys thought because all the replies Ive had for other topics has been very beneficial. When I fed her last she did look like she was searching for more food as well.

what size is the snake, and what size of bump is left in the tummy after the large mouse?.

I wouldnt be feeding more than one large mouse at a time to any corn.

snakes are pigs lol jus cos they are searching for more dosnt always mean they NEED more hehe, as my sydney proves lol, i think it depends on her size and weight if the large mouse is giving a fairly decent lump after the meal i would leave it at 1 a week, if not, then maybe move up a prey size? do u have a pic or know how much she weighs?

I've got a pic up under the the photo section under my new snake Eva. I haven't weighed or measured her yet to be honest. She looks nice and healthy though
