How often to feed an adult corn snake
How often would you feed one? I have a buddy who would like to know, pet store told him every 2-3 months.....so I need to give him a good day. I told him 10 days for now, should help a good bit.

10 days is perect. Honestly I want to throttle the guy that said only feed every two to three months. That's starving the poor corn.

Yeah, every 7-14 days is fine depending on meal size. 10 days like Phoenix said is fine.

I do my adults every 10 to 14 days. When fed every 7, adults tend to slowly get overweight.

Here's a more aggressive feeding plan for your friend:

You can modify it a bit to fit the snake  I go by that chart, but much towards the softer side. But a great general guide!

Re: How often to feed an adult corn snake
I feed all my female corns one large frozen / thawed mouse weekly, and adult males get fed every two weeks as long as their weight looks normal or weekly if they look skinny.
