    Feeding question

    I have a normal corn that I have had for a few months now, he/she is 25g now and I have been feeding one pinky mouse, I just checked the munson chart and he/she is overdue to start two pinky mice, how do I feed two pinky mice? Right now it prefers the food left in the enclosure, do I jsut leave two thawed pinkies in there isntead of just the one pinky?

    You could leave both pinks in and let the snake find them. I usually wait until the snake has eaten the first prey item before offering the second. If your snake is 25g it may be ready for fuzzys. My kings and bulls were only on pinks for a few weeks before they ate fuzzys.

    For growing colubrids I recommend feeding a prey = 1 t 1.5 time the girth size of the animal twice a week.

    I feed my albino 2 fuzzies a week. Also i use a separate feeding container. One at a time is a good way to go.

    I feed mine two pinks at the same time every 5 to 7 days when they're ready for it.

    I just wait until my corn finishes its first,then I let her sit for a few minutes and then I see if she wants another one. I feed her what she wants.
