Just contemplating trying two pinkies for todays feed. Am i right in thinking if he dont want the second he wont take it or is he more likely to take it then possibly regurge?

Why dont you try one, and if your corn still looks hungry then try another, or....im pretty sure he wont take it if he doesnt want it (thats if u put two in) But i am nowhere near experienced in this! Just what i would try.... :o) x

Most snakes will take both regardless of hunger.
Cornsnakes are opportunistic feeders, so if they have the chance they will eat both.
The easiest way to tell is if he looks big enough, if it's the snake in your sig, then I'd say that 2 pinkys should be not much trouble at all. If you're unsure then try get a nice small pinky for the 2nd one.

I did the same with Fluffy last night. Took the first really quickly and the second he went for the middle! Silly snake, but he still actually managed to get it down. Not entirely sure how though. Still he seems happy enough digesting now.

I find it odd when they eat upsidedown, but it is very amusing!!
