Hello as you all know I got my first corn snake a week ago today. He was fed on Tuesday.
The shop I bought him from told me 1 pinkie a week 2 if his bulge wasn't very big.. I've been reading the sticky notes and it says 1 pinkie every 4-5 days..
Any help and info would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks as to how often I should
Feed him
Also when I fed him on Tuesday his bulge wasn't big but was noticeable.

It's up to you how often you feed your snake. I feed my snakes every 5 days when they are eating pinkies. Some people feed them once a week, some once every 6 days. If the bulge is quite noticeable then I would stick to one pinkie for now. When it is less obvious (when you have to really look closely to find it) then try two pinkies

While he's still on pinkies I'd be feeding him every five days.
