My corn is currently on medium mice, they go down very easy and barely leave a bulge ... Do you think its time to go on large mice

Thanks ... I'll buy a large this week and see how it goes, he is swallowing the mediums so fast, last week he swallowed it in about 30 secs :)

It does depend on how big your snake is. As hatchlings the leaving a bump bit is handy but once they hit adult size its not that simple, for example a snake verging on overweight could eat a large mouse and leave not much of a bump but it doesn't need to go up a size that would just make a fat snake even fatter.

the mediums go down very easily now, he has been on them for about 6 months. Would it be worth feeding him a large less often than I would with a medium or does that defeat the object?

he is 14 months ... about 2.5ft and 3cm in diameter across the thickest part of his body, the mediums were hardly touching the sides anymore
