hi guys not posted in a while, jake the corn is doing well and is now at about 30"ish. currently being fed on fuzzys and last feed had x2 with no problems. i think he could be ready on next size in food although not 100% sure but there is hardly any visible bump in body after feed....
question is.....what is the next size up in terms of food, i dont want to go out tomorrow and buy the little fella some food if its not the right sort....as i said hes gone from 1 pinkie a week to 2, then up his feed to 1 fuzzy and is now comfortably eating 2 with hardly any visible bump afterwards..

advice is appreciated as always :)

cheers
Dan

2 fuzzies are normally slightly bigger than a small in terms of weight (depending on how big the fuzzies are...) If he can manage 2 fuzzies no problem then he should be okay on a small. He can eat something no bigger than 1.5 times the width of the widest part of his body so as long as it is smaller than that then he should be fine.

cheers fpr replies, pet shop told me to try him on pups ? same looks as a fuzzy only slightly bigger, not sure if theyre right but they are slightly bigger than what iv been feeding him, and he now has a new companion, just bought a 2 and a half year corn and is comfortably living in the viv i bought for my original corn, which means now persuading the wife to let me buy another viv for him when hes big enough for it lol. will get some pics up as soon as i have internet back as currently using the father in laws wifi lol.
