hi , dont know whether anyone else minds but dont kall me `fellow corn lover` , and you should move ur corn up (or add quintaty) when you kant see a bump after its fed.

Hi Kev, here is a guide:
When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)

| Hi Kev. Hope Remmy's guide is helpful. Do you weigh your corn regularly? It is a good idea to cos then you can work out what to feed him and also see if there is any weightloss that might indicate ill health. We all love our corns here, so you are very welcome! xxx |

Use digital scales. Choose a box to weigh him in - I use a shoebox with air holes in and kitchen roll on the base because of his size - and weigh it on the scales. Note weight. Put scales back to zero, place snake in box then box on scales. Note weight.
(Snake + box) - box = snake weight.
Hope that is helpful. I usually try and weigh each feeding day as Kellog feeds every 10 days.

| thanks kellog, you say you weigh the box first, may i suggest that befor you turn your scales on put the box on them and then turn them on it should read 0 and then put the snake in, just saves having to weigh two things hope this helps |

Do realise that but always worry that movement of putting Kellog in box will mess up results so prefer to do it this way to ensure correct results.
What is Tare function Remmy? xxx |

Tare funtion, turn the scales on and it is on zero, then put a box on the scales and press tare and it puts it back to zero again so you dont have to work the weights out.
Think i explained it ok Kellog |

| If that is what you are worried about Kellog, even doing it your way could still mess up the weight with movement lol |

| Told you I was just paranoid - I dont even thing straight! At least when I put him in box he stays still and then I carefully place box on scales, so think this is my way of doing it....even if it makes no difference between my way and yours! xxx |
