Feeding my Corn??

Well my corn is just a baby, the breeder said a month to two months old. I forget exactly. I am just wondering how often I am to feed him? Some articles say a week others say until you can't see the pinkie or mouse anymore. I just need some opinions. Thanks.

I found this somewhere online... I think it's by Dean Arnold (I think Dean...) hehe. I can't find the site I got it from, but hey - I did my best to cite my source! But this guide would be more helpful if you knew your cornsnake's weight :p


Snake weight Mouse Type Mouse weight Frequency
4-15g Single Pinky 2-3g 4-5 days
16-23g Double Pinky 2-3g times two 4-5 days
24-30g Small fuzzies 5-7g 5-6 days
30-50g Regular fuzzies 7-9g 5-6 days
51-90g Hoppers 9-12g 5-6 days
91-170g Weaned 14-20g 7 days
170-400g Adult 24-30g 7 to ? days
400g+ J umbo Adults 40-50g 7 to ? days​

I tried lining this up, but my preview shows it all bunched together :(

I dunno about that but we basically feed our snakes according to size and the size of the bump the food would make in the snake. Right now we have 2 snakes going on 1 pinkie a week each, and 2 going on 1 fuzzy a week each. And besides, weighting them is a pain in the bum so its a might difficult to do it according to that chart.

Yah, this is the "munson plan" and a good one to use as a guide. A hatchling corn should be fed every 4-5 days, I don't bump up to a week until theya re a year old. By this time they are usually eating small feeders every 7 days.

if you feed then 2 times a week that will pump them and will grow faster, and i works good because they are fierce eaters. From experience of working with them, alot of them.
