Some advice regarding feeding
Hi, I’m looking at getting a corn snake from a local breeder/ owner. The snake is a year old and about 2 foot long- she’s a blizzard corn. She eats 3 rat pups a week. Does His sound ok? I always thought rats were too fatty for corns, and that feeding 3 in one meal wouldn’t be good for a snake. I’m a bit of a newbie, and just want to do the best I can. Please could anyone advise on this diet, and make suggestions if necessary.
Also her temps at her home now are 24 cold side and 30 hot side. Is this a bit too warm? I’m very undecided whether to get this little girl.
Thanks in advance

Some advice regarding feeding
Just quickly ..
Personally , I'd suggest no higher than 28C / 80F for the warm side .. cool side maybe 21C/ 70F ..
My Corn snake certainly prefers to be cooler than some recommended heat levels I've seen around .
I'm presuming that your setup is as required .... Thermostat regulating the heat source , suitable thermometer not one of those useless stick on ones , correct temps on warm and cool side , two identical hides ..etc
Latest info I've seen , suggests that nutritionally mice and rats are almost identical . It's just more convenient to feed one rat than multiple mice ...
