Hello, I've had my wonderful corn for about a year now. He's about 3 foot 3 inches. Looking great and is super to handle.

I've seen lots of questions on this forum come and go about feeding scheduals etc. From what I've gathered, people have fairly flexable feeding scheduals for their snakes. More food when young will simply make the snake grow a bit faster, (assuming your not power feeding which I understand is hard on the snake, namely their kidneys). From Kathy Love's book, I also know how to tell if the snake is fat, by looking at the scale coverage.

Anyway, as I mentioned my snake is about 3 foot 3 inches, I typically feed a day or two after it craps out it's last meal, this usually is about every 5 or 6 days. I've been feeding 3 fuzzies per meal. Is this in the ball park of what others are doing with simular size snakes? Just want to make sure I am not over/under feeding to an extreme. I don't think I am because the snakes girth appears normal, but as a concerned parent, I just want to make sure!

Attached is a picture of Mr. Hat!

Thanks

Jesse
