Hi
I've got a 13 month corn he's always been chunky, not overweight though and perfectly healthy.

Just a quick question really, if other people have the corns a similar age, how often do you feed them and what size food?

At the moment he's on hoppers and has them every 7-8 days.

Just what to see what other people do :)

Thanks

prey size is influenced more by the size of the snake rather than age as they all grow at different rates, the general rule size wise is that the prey item should be no wider than 1 1/2 times the widest part of the snake. As for frequency generaly its every 7 days although hatchies are usually fed every 5 days whilst on pinkies. My boy 8 is just over a year now and he is on a small mouse every 7 days, in comparion one of his sibblings is still on single fluffs and is a lot smaller than him.
