Things you can't find on said sheet:
The wait period on feeding (to my understanding) is just to make feeding more likely by allowing the animal to de-stress. If you think it's been a while since he's eaten go ahead and try. In my experience corns are very ready feeders. Mines never refused a meal. I feed mostly f/t w/the occasional live mouse.
Follow the body size rule. Feed him a meal no bigger around than the biggest part of his body.
It's probably 2ish, my corn is 1year old and about 2ft long as big around as a mans pinkie, though I've been told he's small for his age. Anyone know?
As far as ease of care. Very easy. Normal in home humidity easy temp gradients, it's a great first snake for a kid.
Good luck, keep us posted.
