feeding questions

[tttaylorrr]

I don’t know much about corn snakes. Until arriving on this forum, I’ve always read and been told you feed a snake prey items about the same size as your snakes girth at its widest point once a week or a day or 2 after it poops.

I’m guessing since ball pythons are more sedentary and also sometimes like to be hoarders and not poop that’s the reason for the differences in that feeding chart.

Back on topic, are corn snakes more active? I think you’d be fine offering him a prey item that’s as big around as his body. If it is too big for him, I don’t think he would even try to swallow it. That’s just my theory. I’m sure someone with more (or any) corn snake experience will have a better/ more definitive answer for you.

from my limited experience, yes they are way more active than beeps. they're also out throughout the day, which is pretty cool.

this guy was severely underfed for his first 3 or 4 years, so i've been really careful about upping his prey size for...reasons? i'm just a worry wart.
