How heavy is your corn snake in grams? If its way over 300 grams and it's a non-breeder then it should be on adult mice every 10-14 days and if it's a breeding female then she should be on adults mice every 5-11 days

It varies depending on the snake. A couple of my adults are on large mice every 14 days roughly, one is on an xlarge mouse every 14 days ish. And one is on a weaner rat every 3 weeks or so. I don't always have a set feeding day so sometimes it can be less than usually time, sometimes more.
I wouldn't feed any adult snake every 5 days even a breeding female as it is highly likely to become overweight which can cause just as many problems as being underweight.
