A few questions about sizes.
So I tried to search it but i'm not good at searching. Anyways, I'd like to know the basic wieghts of the different age groups of corns. Like, how much does a hatchling weigh, how much does a juvenile weigh, and how much does an adult weigh? Also, what size tubs correspond with those ages?
Corns:
0.0.1 Normal; 0.1.0 Amel Motley
1.0.0 Butter Motley; 0.1.0 Charcoal

It is kind of hard to say as snakes grow at different rates. It all depends on their genetics, diet, and environment. From personal experience, a hatchling tends to be around 7g or so (sometimes more, sometimes less). Subadults, are usually around 100-200g and full grown adults can be 400g and up. My 6 year old female is around 550g and she's not a large corn by any means.

A pinky mouse. You'd be amazed at how big of a meal they can eat. But, if you really don't think she can handle it, you can cut the pinky in half.

Well, you're right, I was amazed watching this little tiny snake eat a day old pinkie. When I put the day old in the tank and the snake came over to take a look, I'm thinking "there's no freaking way" but darned if he didn't lol.
I had snakes as a kid and forgot just how far they can open their lower jaw. It's all coming back to me now
