Hello everyone. My 3year old corn weighs appropriately 430g. He is currently eating one large every 2 weeks, do you think this is enough food? Or do you think he need more?
Thanks all, meg x |

as a short answer..... yes.
one large every 14 days is enough for an adult. maybe a jumbo every now and then. x |

ok. im not going to continue, as you cohab, you do not measure your temps.
the only advice i will give is.
use a stat and a digital thermomter
never cohab
and feed a large or a jumber every 14 day

people have different opinions on different things, and many people keep snakes together with no problems aswell as other things. Sounds fine ted we dont all do things the same there is just basic adviserys and thats it really. :)
