4 days is a little soon but as a one off it won't harm. Every 5 to 6 should be fine for a little one.

Donnie is right Maureen, anything less than every 5 days would be too much for your snake to cope with. I have to write feeding days down in my diary otherwise I'd be in a total mess, there's no way I'd remember especially with 5 snakes .

Have you had a look at the thread on feeding - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=27833 Just be aware that it is a very rough guide and not meant to be followed 'religiously'. All snakes are different and you need to work out what works best for yours, with our support of course .
