They grow regardless of where you keep them, which is why you have to be prepared to repeatedly upgrade the size of enclosure you keep them in.
They do grow quicker the more you feed them but you have to find the healthy and safe balance, of not too much and not too little when it comes to feeding as you wouldn't want a fat or thin snake. |

They grow with each shed.
If you power feed them they will grow bigger more quickly but it can lead to a lower lifespan, obesity and other health problems. There are snake keepers out there who power feed them to build them up quickly to breed. I personaly wouldnt power feed my corns and im sure there are others out there who have the same opinion as me. |

| i got harry in february at 6 months old not much bigger than a hatchling, 4 months later he's outgrown his 2nd faun and i'm getting ready to move him into a 2ft viv. I've slowly increased his prey and he's currently on 2 fuzzies and again am getting ready to move him up to small mice as i can't see the fuzzies in his body anymore when they're in his stomach |

Most corns will eat whatever you put in front of them. They are opportunistic feeders, its their instinct to eat when they can because in the wild they aren't sure when the next meal is coming, its down to us to regulate their food intake.
What do you mean food break? |
