    New Snake + feeding question

    Just picked up this little girl on the weekend at the fall expo here in Calgary. She's my second snake, and first corn, but what a difference from my BP, so squirmy



    The breeder told me she was eating pinkie mice, and successfully ate for me on Monday (well, kinda ... she didn't take from the tongs, but while running around the feeding tub, bumped into the pinkie and went "Ohhh, he-llo! *omnomnom*")

    As this is my first baby snake (my BP was already 8 months when I got her), should I be feeding her weekly like my BP, or more often (say every 5 days or so)?


    Edit: Guessing she's about 2 months old, not really sure. Forgot to ask the breeder, but heard her mention to someone else that all her snakes have had at least 6 meals before she brings them to expos.

    Congrats on the new snake! Corns are awesome, our first snake was a Corn and he is the friendliest, healthiest snake ever!

    You can feed them every 5-7 days. Its better to feed more often and smaller meals then less often and bigger meals.

    I hope this helps.
