I recommend feeding food items that are the same thickness as the thickest part of the snake. As far as feeding frequency, it depends on your plans. If you plan on breeding, I'd feed the female more often, to build up weight for breeding and to regain weight after eggs are laid. If the snake is not part of a breeding program, one food item per week is a good rule-of-thumb. Though it should be remembered that snakes aren't machines and some metabolize food faster (and need to be fed more often) than others. I've seen a very large number of overweight corns though. Part of snake keeping is to know your individual animals and their habits.
RodentPro is a fine source of rodents, I've used them as well as a few others, like Big Cheese and have no complaints (except for both sometimes being out of the size I need).
