    Is my corn snake fat?

    My 2 year old corn has been getting one adult male mouse a week except when in shed and is currently 500 grams. Is he too big? Should I cut back to every other week?

    500g at 2 y/o seems about right for a corn.

    Re: Is my corn snake fat?

    A few photos from different angles would help. I'm old enough that the internet wasn't useful as a source of info and I ended up with a clinically obese corn snake, she ended up so fat that it resulted in her refusing food for three months despite the fact I made her swim around the bathtub for 15 minutes every day. I can honestly say that I know what a fat corn snake looks like.

    I suggest checking around to find somewhere that has adult corn snakes on show, if your corn is wider than every other you see then its a good bet its fat. I haven't gotten any more corn snakes since I got so used to having a fat one its difficult to get past the fact that at a healthy weight they look skinny to me.

    As far as I know she's just a normal abino. She was like 40 dollars at pets mart years ago
