Regurge and obiesity are the main problems, although I suppose digestive problems can also result. It will take a lot longer for food to digest, and your snake may feel more vulnerable after a feed than is normal.

Any reason for the question?

-Single pinks (2-3g) 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+)

Do you weigh your snake, if so this chart should help. When there is little or no bulge its normally ok to move up a size.

I don't know if corns can get it, but by over-feeding most reptiles can accumulate fatty-liver disease.
