There are a lot of varying opinions out there so I thought I would ask here as this is the place I've gotten the most helpful advice from so far. I feed my 14 month old corn approx every 10 days, he is always very eager for his food by then and doesn't appear to be overweight, I don't want to sound daft by asking silly questions but am I feeding too much/little

Around once a week for my corn, though a day early or a day late makes no difference. My Boa was supposed to be fed tonight but I forgot to get the rat out to defrost but it really wont mind waiting an extra day, its not scheduled in the wild. My Royal is every 10 days but they eat much larger meals than corns.

I feed my younger ones every 7 days, my adults every 14 days. One of my adults will happily eat any of the really extra large mice so if I give him one of those then I will leave it 3 weeks until the next feed.

A 14 month old I would usually say feed every 7 days but it does depend on how big he is

He is about 2.5ft long at the moment, the thickest part of his body is about 3cm in diameter, maybe I should try feeding him every week
