Corn snake feeding

I've had my female corn snake, Amber, for around a year and 2 months. I had been feeding her 2 or 3 fuzzies, but I began to notice that I couldn't see a noticeable lump in her belly. I recently had 2 adult mice pass, so I offered her one of those. She was able to eat the whole thing without a problem, though she was quite large, afterwards. My questions are, how often should I feed her and are adult mice alright? It probably took her around 3 minutes to get the meal down. Here's a picture of her to give you some idea of her size. She was being a bit squirmy.




Also...Is rodentpro.com a good company to buy frozen feeders from? I have never ordered online, but a frozen adult mouse costs $1.99 in town:/

Her vivarium is 30 inches long, 17 wide and 17 tall. I've been told that is large enough for her, even when she reaches adulthood. Is this true? Has always looked a bit on the small side to me, but this is only my second snake.

Thanks for any help
